    Installed a new battery today. OEM pooped the bed after 5 years. I went with Duralast Gold mainly because of the warranty. Good thing I had a jump starter pack. It has been awesome the past 2 days. I only got clicking yesterday morning so I jumped it hoping I had left something on. It was fine the whole day. Sometimes sluggish to startup. This morning same clicking. Jumped and went to work but clicking again after work so I figured it was the battery. We'll see how this one is in the morning...

    Advice you didnt ask for:) if you do the door be aware of weight. I did 5 sqft per font door. it's about 4lbs. Not offensive, but very noticeable. My 2 cents.

    This is for off-road use when you are stuck? Is there a quick way to remove the shovel or do you have to loosen the screws each time?

    Anything over 72 MPH is where I see the MPG Cliff. For me, 72 is where the truck hums along right around 2100 RPMs and I can usually push 20+ even with a roof rack with a plano case and traction boards, plus a tent over the back half.

    Right now I’d have to loosen the four bolts each time. The bolts will be replaced with knobs so it’s more convenient to access without a screwdriver. As little as I’ve had to use the shovel or any other hand tool, it’s a compromise I’m fine with. I’d rather spend the 100 dollars I’m saving on something more critical.

    Crappy gas station shot but after searching for a good deal for almost a year, I finally got the exact snug top I’ve been after, didn’t need to get it painted and for a great price. Purchased from an AZTW member but being too excited after we fitted it, I forgot his name.....sorry bud.
    Its the small wins in life that make it worth it.

    Whats the non-CB radio you got?
    You could swap out the phillips heads for big thumb screws and that would be a permanent solution!
