    Woah derrped :eek:
    And now back to your regularly scheduled build program.


    I was getting bad gaps between the tailgate and tail lights. My concern was with the locking bar on the tailgate getting closer and closer to the edge that eventually it wouldn't lock/close. The bed stiffeners actually did help a lot. I wish I coulda installed them with the RTT and cap removed but I didn't. The driver side pulled back in about 1/4" and the passenger side pulled in about 1/2". Id recommend them.

    Going to set my eyes on them today..

    These are my 285/75/17s on the left next to a stack of 255/80/17s

    Are they though?!?!? That doesnt seem to make sense. Tires that are abundant should be less $$ no?
