Northern Virginia Roll Call

you say that now.

Best advice I can give you is with the tent, keep it below the roof line, that will kill your mpgs more than anything.

 

the fridge is probable the best upgrade ive ever made. its expensive cuz you have to have the 31m battery with a full times hot 12v in the back seat. it took me a min to figure it out, but by far the most handy thing ive bought

 

thats the plan im getting the RCI it'll stick up little but not enough to kill MPG

 

you want it low like on bed bars. I promise you, you will lose like 2-3 mpgs if its above the roof line at all.

 

mine is alittle above the roof line and I lost 3mpg. Look at my pictures. its not completely above it

 

the next one i get will be hard shell like @fatfurious2 but itll have to be a 3+p

 

if I keep it to low then im going to loose my storage space. I have a drawer system that has 2 Plano boxed that go on top. and I need to have roto packs on the sides of the rack for gas and water. also the bars I had I sold them to Truggin and its to expensive to get new bars. id rather have the rack.

 

mine will set lover than that

 

its a love hate game. just trying to keep my MPG above 20 loaded.

 

I had a rotopax. Im not going to use them. Im going to get a military water can, and for fuel ill use jerry cans as well. I just havent decided if i want them in bed or on my bumper. I really want a decked system. But if i had that id just get a shell. Becuase id keep my stuff in there at all times, and they arent water proof.

hence why ive been looking at a go fast camer or even a tray system like they have in kangaroo land

 

good luck. once you load it down and start going up mountains itll be 17.5-18. Ive driven daily up 8 miles a mountain for 2 years. Even stock, with no weight I was getting 10-14mpg going up the mountain to my house

 

I have 2 new jerry cans I can trade ya

 

shit i dont have them anymore

 

these trucks have great mpg when you dont drive over 65mph, up a hill or go anywhere with any type of quickness

 

I get 18.5 going in and out of traffic for 10 miles with no warm up

 

People still warm their new vehicles up lol? all joking aside, I hope you arent dissapointed in this vehicle. But on the other hand I want you to bob the bed and do all the cool things my cheap ass wont spend money on

 

I love the truck to far but I also don't have 500 miles on it. its also super nice being able to drive my truck over 200miles on the same tank of gas. the old truck was having a lot of problems that I didn't have time to deal with.

 

Yeah

 

I have some 886 coils (no struts) that were only on my truck for a few hundred miles. I'll sell you those if interested, just let me know.

 

I told you dremels are great for arts crafts. By the way, how’s your scrap book coming along?
