I did the Painted Tonneau mod, The Bedrug mod and the moving the stickers to the proper location mod. Also took off the extra bottom black bumpers.

All Bling , No performance mods.

I tried to lower it but was unsucessful.

The easiest way too mod it is add 1 cell to the battery pack (series of course). It's like adding a chip, pulley, and filter!

DON'T MOD IT!! You'll void the warranty...

Bed rug Vinnie? No warranty for you!

Add the cell. No problems, and if something does go bad, your truck is still stock!

Well - I have a Tamiya lightning - In my attempt to mod it to beat Sixpipes' R/C Truck I have managed to put WAY more motor in it than the stock tires can handle. It is REALLY fast BUT also really uncontrollable. So now I need a tire upgrade. It never ends.

Forget it. You will never meet the California emissions requirements with the new set up, IMHO. Buy a faster truck or move to Texas.
