I got a problem.

 

I get function but it is a diminishing return the more drag you add to the outside of the truck unless you over power the truck. I would be curious to see how many tanks of gas people are running through with all the overlanding stuff mounted to the truck per week/month. Even when I tow either of my boats I still get 16mpg and my truck is currently unmolested. I could only imagine that being cut by at least 1/3 if I had other things mounted.

 

Having a cheap daily helps make these decisions easier for some or like me and have 4 vehicles

 

I actually did the math many years back when I ran a RTT on my truck full time; for a rough example, here was my thought process:

(60 miles/day) x (5 days/week) x (52 weeks/yr) = 15,600 miles/yr
15,600 miles at 19mpg with gas at $2.50/gal = $2,052/yr
15,600 miles at 16mpg with gas at $2.50/gal = $2,437/yr

It cost $385 more per year in gas mileage to leave a RTT, awning, armor, lift, wheels/tires, etc (if gas is at $2.50/gal).
To be fair, gas isn't $2.50 anymore, so here's something more realistic:

(60 miles/day) x (5 days/week) x (52 weeks/yr) = 15,600 miles/yr
15,600 miles at 19mpg with gas at $4/gal = $3,284/yr
15,600 miles at 16mpg with gas at $4/gal = $3,900/yr

It cost $616 more per year in gas mileage to leave a RTT, awning, armor, lift, wheels/tires, etc (if gas is at $4/gal).
Obviously, driving 25k+miles/year may not yield the same numbers, but for most people who drive 20k miles or less per year, its not a catastrophic impact. Thats probably close to 1 month's truck payment for many.

 

(60 miles/day) x (7 days/week) x (52 weeks/yr) = 21,840 miles/yr
21,840 miles at 19mpg with gas at $4/gal = $4597.89/yr
21,840 miles at 16mpg with gas at $4/gal = $5460/yr

That is an $862 difference going at seven days a week. That is a pretty nice weekend vacation's worth of money for example.

I have the Silver Bullet, a 01 25rs JDM and two jet boats. I understand.

 

FIFY Kidding; like I said, mileage may vary and it won't be worth it for every single person. I was just throwing out some random numbers as an example to answer your question honestly. Gas was $2.50 or less when I was running a RTT, so it wasn't a huge impact. We justify our wants in many many ways. If I had to justify a RTT/camper shell/GFC/etc, and I drove your kind of mileage, I'd say that $862/12=$71.83/month is the number I'm interested in. I wouldn't expect for it to pay for itself, but if I used it once per month INSTEAD of a hotel room, I'd probably have $50 saved (to put towards other truck mods of course)

 

Looks like Badgerboys old rig.

 

I’m looking for a tan one. Out of curiosity, how long did it take for Softtopper to ship it to you after the order? I’ve heard it’s down to a couple weeks but no idea if that’s true. Thanks!

 

Took close to 3-4 weeks.

 

Oh I totally understand. LOL I justify hauling two jet boats around so I get it. I drive my truck daily as well as my Subie and I only run non-ethanol in ALL of them so my gas expense is automatically higher as is.

I am torn on getting a soft vs hard top myself.

 

Who Needs Tires?! I want these gone!

These are tanks and basically indestructible. Great dual sport bike, works well on FSRs or some harder enduro.
I have even taken this bike on single track, with no problems.

Motor pulls like a tractor and the throttle is very linear. No craziness, just predicable.

For those interested I can send you a list of all the additions made to this bike.

 

You know of any difference between the Pro and Offroad headlights from that year?

Good question. I do not. Do yours have a black bezel? If you want them you can have them bro.

 

@Built2Ride , are those the LED? I'm kinda 3rd gen ignorant.

 

The fogs are LED, the Headlights are not.

 

Do you have the bezels for the fogs too?
