yeah,but that means waiting for this truck to come out and parts to be available,cant wait that long.doing some maintainance on mine tonight,pulled one side,that vert. plate has had it,its flimsy.so i figure since i need new tvp's,might as well extend it as well,

you will probably have less hassle fitting the new era plates.

oh yeah, FLM extended FTW. I got those last year, and they are AWESOME. they are long enough that you can use a rotostart even though they are lcg. Also, they have mounts for many common mods, including moving the throttle servo to the rear, and doing a midtank mod.
