    Keep in mind that white is the best color when it comes to heat reflection/dissipation. Or, so I’ve been told. Maybe some vinyl graphics on the side to break up the “your ad here” real estate you’ve got goin on. ?

    Satin black would look tits. But like anderson said. It may draw in heat as opposed to the white

    Agreed...the main reason I chose white is for heat and reflection. I figured it's also good base if I want to change the color later as well.

    Hmmm....I could sell Ad space! Just kidding. I've considered putting a "TOYOTA" vinyl decal on the back like what used to be on the pick up's tailgates.

    I've also considered adding a tire carrier like Everlanders did below. However, one of my goals was to keep all the weight between the axles. This design places quite a bit of weight hanging off the back. Currently the tire is in the camper and in the way all the time. I would put it under but the 2nd fuel tank is there.

    I'm going to either build a bumper with side protection myself or have someone do it for me eventually. The stock bumper doesn't provide any protection for the camper's rear corners. They're super exposed.

    That's not bad....not sure how it would go compared to the rest of my truck which is gold/tan. I think it's called Desert Sand Metallic or something.

    I do know one thing...I want to make the very top part of the roof plaid.

    The big rig? 2019 still new, LOL...

    Added more grease to the poly side, took some slack out of it, Johny joint side, cant handle all that snow I plow through.
    Had a hard time getting them to take grease, zerks are garbage, I hate them. Took it out and was hammering the throttle hard for/rev, no sounds now!


    Going to get a different brand offset links with Metalcloak inners.
    See if anyone wants to buy these MT lower links
