    and I'd probably run some 46" (395/85r20) Michelin xzls or something like that..... ,maybe a tad taller, to help with highway speeds, but 54s is a bit much and this would still be my DD! :rofl: Can't go toooo nuts. :rolleyes: and the michilens are a HECK of a lot cheaper than any other tire in that size or close to that size!

    You should get a pic looking down at the bed. Kinda hard to see the dovetail work from the side or back.

    Whereas a bob is good for improving departure angle, a dovetail helps in maneuvering in tight spaces with out ripping up the bedsides... Very helpful in foresty areas with lots of trees/stumps (especially with my relatively long wheelbase) and rockcrawling...

    Dovetail keeps the trees off your bed. And other obstacles.

    Man it looks sick as shit.

    *centered :rolleyes:

    It was either an off-center handle, or lose some of my stickers... :eek::D lol And besides, I kind of like it... I already had the off-center thing going anyway with my liscence plate placement and stickers.

    (The things I do to save my stickers..... :anonymous:)
