    Hmmm. If that's all that's hanging you up. That's somewhat of a minor detail. Have a chat with Joe A. I think it wouldn't be a huge pain to use a different style latch. I say chat with Joe A and see what happens.

    I’m running stock bumps mounted on my ap u bolt flip. I hit the bumps a few times this weekend with ~500 in the bed. I kinda figured the expos would be a little more rugged. I was just cruising dirt roads with the wife and baby.

    run bags if you're concerned about bottoming, ive wheeled with them the entire life of the truck and they are decent

    I’m not terribly worried about it. I do however like the idea of bags being able to compensate for different loads. I was curious if it was normal to be bottoming expos with minimal load in the truck or if mine are soft

    buddy broke the main leaf on his expos when we were running in Ardbeg, he didn't get to wheel lol he broke it on the way to the camp spot the day before we were going to hit the trail lol he had just installed them 2 weeks prior lol in all fairness hes running a shackle flip kit. AP says they aren't meant for the shackle flip but the shackle flip company recommends them lol hes going to put some 63 chevy leafs in now

    Late to the show sorry guys! Came back home after work at around 7:30... what a week we have at work! All you guys selling your stuff makes me think I should try to sell my old billies with +- 100k miles on them... and also stock faded and cracked headlights lol taking space in the garage...

    I can't wait to have @EatSleepTacos ' leaves in my possession so I can get rid of most of my sag and if I drive better I might be good to stop hitting the bumpstops!

    Just had the sketchiest online sale encounter yet. "Met" this dude through FB market place and was gonna meet up tonight to sell the wheels and tires for @twheat40. We agree to meet in a grocery store parking lot, so I get there 10 minutes early and park under a light.

    Decide to check this guys FB profile, and he's super dark with a current living place in some random country. Maybe he forgot to update it, but I'm leery at this point.

    I'm waiting, and this gold hatchback parks across the aisle, just sitting there. I'm watching it, and they don't get out of their car. 10 minutes go by and they leave, never getting out of their car.

    After waiting for this guy 20 minutes past our arranged time, I leave and get chipotle. Just as I leave chipotle, he messages me saying he's at the shell station right next to the grocery store. I ignore it and keep driving, passing the shell. He messages me again saying he just saw a white Tacoma and hopes it wasn't me.

    I respond saying it was me, and I thought he was a flake so I left. I also told him to be on time next time and that he missed his shot. He says he's sorry and that he missed his exit. Then immediately after states he was parked across from me (which meant he arrived on time) but wasn't sure if it was me and left.

    I stated in our messages I was in a white Tacoma with a black camper shell. Pretty obvious.

    Then he says something to the affect of "I'm sorry please come back" and then a minute later, says the same thing.

    I blocked him, and made sure no one followed he home. It was super sketchy, and had a bad gut feeling the whole time.

    Edit: there was a little more, but for the sake of not being too long, I left that out.

    Agreed. Double checked all my doors are locked, and the dog is sleeping upstairs with me tonight. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I get a lot of training in the navy about crazies, so I try and be overly cautious.
