Northern Virginia Roll Call

Happy birthday @Coot83 !!!

 

Thanks man appreciate the shout out!

 

Nope, don't interfere in any way, nor do they raise the hood. It didn't on mine, nor @GeneralGadsen's truck. I specifically checked for that because I have read that here. That would only do that if someone was dumb and installed them between the hood and the hinge.

 

how do u guys think my rear leafs will handle the load of 300-400lbs during my camping trips or should I make the jump and buy Dakar's.

 

stock rears? You will sag

 

nobody likes a saggy rear

 

@fatfurious2

You got pics of a short bedrack on your truck somewhere? For research purposes and asking for a friend

 

I have this Low Profile RTT bed rack from BAMF. Also have another short bed rack on order

 

Nice - I am looking to combine my tonneau cover and bed rack, and started playing with the idea of a short bed rack so I can open the first section. Looks like it is a strong possibility. Who get you getting the new rack from?

 

BAMF again.

I needed at least 17" above the bed sides to fit my current tent. The above rack is 13" above bedsides.

I think @Mobtown Offroad and @KB Voodoo offer bed racks that work with tonneaus. But might not get the height that I was looking for.

 

We have three different racks that work with tonneau covers that will satisfy your height requirements.

 

I have a 3 leaf from icon with overload on I think I’ll proable buy new rear leafs

 

not sure about those leafs then..

I had Dakars, and then added the

$81 D29XL Leaf Spring

D29XL, and now AllPro Expos. All have handled the weight that I threw at them

 

looks like Dakar's and a few more recovery things will conclude my adventure build.

 

Ive got high clearance bumper with swingout and dual jerry cans, bedslide, bed rack, and tent

 

I wish I had the money to do that but Dakar's will be the end of my 5k budget for everything. but all and all for everything I have done to my truck I think that 5k was very well spent

 

I dont think Ill ever be done, even though I say so everyday

 

well im looking to get a house soonish so I gotta be done for now. At least till I get a DD

 

cant make this one as I work but would love to get out there and see this place as I have heard good things. Have fun boys!

 

You should be good for now and a few trips to test it out but I would eventually upgrade to dakars or allpro. I have a similar 3 leaf without overload and have packed some stuff in there pretty good plus my shell and spare. It rode fine but could be better.
