    Nope. On the biggest ledge i dropped off this weekend which was the biggest ive ever done(finally drug a slider) it didn't even touch the bumper. I just have so much lift out back i don't really drag. But i didn't go up anything steep enough to drag it yet..probably won't ever really cause of the RTT.

    This might have already been asked, but it looks like your exhaust is in between your leafs and your body. How have you not crushed your exhaust tip yet?

    Jon and i were wondering the same thing! hahaha i finally actually nicked it on this trip..just a light tap on a rock lol I guess i just have so much lift it stays outa trouble. As for the leaf not squishing it it cause of how it it run. My exhaust guy did a FANTASTIC job of how he bent the tube.

    These aren't the greatest pics..but i can take more if you'd like. Its actually kinda raised where it crosses the leaf pack.

    Right now I've got a futon, raft, raft frame, 3 oars, all my fishing gear, boxes filled with a microwave, toaster oven, etc all in there. I've gotta be approaching some significant weight. Next summer I'll build this truck up. No rush right now though.

    Since the body isn't OME or Fenders the Leafs and then the front drive line is gonna change as is the rear axle haha
