yea i herd that before...but only on the sunroofs that have tubbs. i got mine in 2004 my truck is a daily driver and it has never leaked. they put seal all around it.

the only "bad" thing about it, if you wanna call it bad but it doesnt bother me is that you can hear the wind go over it pretty loud after 65mph and up. and since the roof is aaalll glass, i feel the cold in the cab more at night. my sunroof came with 4 individual sun shades. all and all, i dont regret it. you gotta give a little to get more, you know.

hahaa... it is my truck parked at the Block of Orange in Orange County. i was there. thats b4 i bagged my truck. that whole scene of borat chasing pamela is two parts. when hes talkin to her in the store thats a different day but when he's chasing her outside that a pamela look a like. i was in the store when they filmed that part. i remember seeing borat chasing her towards my truck and i thought something really was happening. i was behind the security running outside cuz they wrestled borat right by my truck. when i saw the movie a few months later i flipped out. hahah.

heres that scene on youtube

pot holes? hahaha. the truck rides great. ten times better than when it was stock. i glide over everything. i spent the extra money so that tha quality of the ride would be the best it could be.

the only thing tho, i do drive a lot more carefull and slower over bumps and intersections. but i dont regret it for one second. i love the drive.

before the bags the tires i was running were 305/35 R24 and i felt everything. everybody that got in the truck would complain about feeling everything in the road. now with the new air ride system im runing 275/30 R24 and i dont feel a thing, the bags and shocks do a great job.

i had the roof put in in 2004. and its a daily driver and i just now started parking it in the garage. we have storms in Cali too. it rains for two weeks straight Soooometimes. i also drove in the rain countless times, even through hail and it has never leaked. they put rubber seal all the way around the outside of the roof. im so sure it would Not leak in any part of the country that i'd put money on it.

I remember seeing that truck in borat and thinking it was pretty cool, never made the connection with you tho. Truck has really come along way since then.

you should take that clip of you truck and put it in a loop, and put it in a digital picture frame, for when you go to car shows
