Who all has a bedslide or cargo glide in their truck? Post some action shots.

 

Jberry your shit is on point.

 

Do you feel that the slide giving you access to the back of the bed makes up for the smaller footprint of the slide? Just seems like you loose a lot of packing space by adding one but trying to get first hand opinions if you have noticed that.

 

Wtf is that huge gouge out of your lower coil seat and the corresponding rub mark on the axle !?

 

That's where the axle has been rubbing on the coil. Maybe had something to do with the axle breaking?

 

Jason that is awesome thank you for sharing.

 

He probably clearances the shock right there since he doesn't have extended rod ends to accommodate the axles. Don't think he would let that happen lol.

 

Sorry, that was sarcasm...I am well aware of what is going on and petrified by what I am looking at.

 

Uh...scary

 

just my guess. Doesn't look like they have the extended rod ends that are on 4wd trucks. I would assume that all that could go un-noticed.

 

LOL

 

I know. Something there is going to break. Just a matter of time.

 

I have a drawer on one side and bins on the other side of my platform. I could fit a lot more stuff in my bed if I had one big open space. The problem is everytime you want to get to one thing you have to move 10 other things out of the way. The drawers make everything accessable.

I like the bins because you can take them out and carry them with you. I keep all my tools and stove in the drawer and the rest of my kitchen junk in the bins.

 

Hilarious, I did the same thing and left it in a box in the shop and forgot all about it. Listed it here but ended up selling it on Expo.

 

Not at all. Which is why it was funny that your friend asked us that very question .

Ha! Evidently the joke didn't transfer well to the internet. You're absolutely right: It's definitely no secret. Where they're camped is described in the first version of the most popular guide book for the area, which was published before second gens were even built.

 

it was more of a surprise that we found you guys in that spot and it was asked out of surprise. Instead of you asking the very same question in all caps lock which gives the implied impression of having an attitude, obviously the joke did not transfer well at all in that context.

 

WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE UN-CAPS-LOCK BUTTON?

 

Posting up a few pictures from our road trip to Alaska. Left Salt Lake City and drove to Bellingham, WA where we boarded the Ferry to Ketckikan. From Ketchikan we took the Inter-Island Ferry to Prince of Wales Island and kicked around there for a few days before reversing the whole thing back to home.

On the Ferry here.

First night camping on Prince of Wales Island.

Second spot we found was on a small bay, I believe it was Ratz Bay.

Had some cool company anchored in the bay one night.
