Sari,

does that zip tie between the body clips make them any easier to get off? I am using a small set of pliers ATm.

well not nessesarily easier just its not a hassle to know where they areand not loose them all the time. plus if they fall out they are stoll on the "clip savers" so all you do is just take em out and drop them and they are on your body already.

don't use pliers. there used to be a thread somewhere about how to make a nifty handle for removing body clips.

basically, run a zip tie through a piece of fuel tubing, then around the back end of the clip and *back into the fuel tubing.* Snug it up, zip it, clip it and you're set.

the reson u do run ur truck with the body on is that it does add a little more protection to the otherwise exsposed stuff

wow, it turns out I am psychic... [&:] Sari..Viper...whats the Difference>? Oops....

thanks guys, I think I will try that with the fuel tube and the zip tie....

As for bashing with no body... I like it to look like a truck... otherwise I would bash with my lawnmower....

those zip tie clips are easier to pull off. i also did that. and i did a bigger one on the fuel tank too. except if your truck is light the fuel tank one wont work cause the car lifts up.
