    I sell them and they are labelled as "universal fit", so it's possible.

    Use your recycled Walmart shopping bags. Pro tip - they also keep your socks dry in the rain, or on boats.

    That was my first pair of "snow boots," my mom was like we get "real" snow (she grew up in OH and IL) once a decade...go grab some grocery bags and put them between two sets of light weight socks!

    So of course that worked it's way into my backpacking gear in middle school outdoor ed class, man talk about ridicule. Damn fancy kids and teacher had boot gators and gore-tex hiking boots. And that is how I ended up down the buy once cry once gear sourcing turned tacoma mod rabbit hole!!!

    I still remember my dad freaking out about buying a $80 3 season sleeping bag, which was the reduced price since we got the floor model...man I would hate for him to see what my hammock underquilt cost me (it's 11 years old no less!)

    I'm bored while "working" so I skimmed through @81Trekker thread again to dig for pics of his front end since I knew he cut off that cross member like I'm planning on doing.

    @81Trekker if you get a chance, can you put an angle finder on the front of your skid? I'm curious what it is vs my stock skid right now. I'm going to be cutting that off, modifying my existing skid and building a new bumper out of tube. Should be fun.

    I wonder how much clearance you'd gain if you moved those radiators to the roof? Also, what if he measures the angle of his skid while the truck is facing downhill? It might be Zero degrees. Stop worrying about plastic bag shoes catching fire and concentrate #RandyFab.
