Alabama thread!

I'm just glad we are done picking that damn 35 up and down...

 

Me too. To be honest, anything over a 35, screw having a spare. Rather just carry the equipment to patch it... Like a big pack of that rubber cement.

 

treadwrights are just cheap enough that I'll keep one. even if I swap tires next time around I'll probably keep a treadwright as a spare, unless somebody runs some kinda buy 4 get 1 deal or whatever.

yeah thats pretty sweet. I just can't bring myself to be a car guy..

 

As far as spares go, I'm more reffering to dealing with the shear weight of something larger than 35 inches. At like a 37, a spare is just extra weight when you've paid for a bulletproof tire already. And good luck getting that tire off your spare tire rack. Lol. To each his own though.

You should go for a ride in my buddy's drift car. Its the most fun you never want to have again. Its like riding on top of a skateboard at 50 mph sideways through a corner. Lol.

 

lol yeah I've completely disregarded weight at this point on my truck...now that I'm no camper shelling though I did save some weight.

 

Nobody really buys a truck to save weight anyways.

 

that's why I love seeing mpg talk.

I was curious about mine, simply to see the changes, but if I was getting 8mpg I'd still drive it because I love it.

the amount of threads on here that are focused on saving mpg's crack me up, get your ass OUT of a truck if you want to save MPGs.

 

Exactly. Everytime I gas up I say to myself that its 40 bucks of fun and I'll drive how I want to. Makes driving much more enjoyable when you let go of the "economy" way of thinking.

 

if i could go back in time i'd get the same truck my mom has got. she paid way under invoice because it was the 2nd time i had bought a new vehicle, mine was the first.

i got her truck crazy cheap and it has real leather fully loaded TRDOR, i'm assuming it's real leather

 

@Jerneyman, you make some bed bars that work with bed cover?

 

I’m sure I could. Just need a closer look at how the bed cover secures and what height your looking for.

 

I was just telling @Otis1382 to get ahold of @Jerneyman the other day about the same thing.


Oh and how #overlander of u lmao

 

that tent is too cheap to be overland certified.

 

since I won't be able to open the bed cover with tent on top anyways, low as possible.

it could almost be touching the cover for all I care. Thing is the bar running across the bed cover may need to be removable with grade 8 hardware so I won't run into issues removing the bed bars at a later time.

 

My plan would be to secure them using t slot nuts and grade 8 hardware.

How far does your bed cover overlap the plastic on the top of the bedsides?

 

Gotcha. Looks like I’ll be extending it about 2 inches past the standard bracket. Not hard to do.

 

looking at it idk how i would like the bed bars sticking out past the bed!

 

No worse than an RTT
