    LOL Lucky for him and I guess me my spare tire was there, other wise the rear end would have stopped him and my rear bumper would have gone through his window. Looks like just the shocks and break proportioning valve along with the spare tire winch thing. I contacted my insurance and will be headed in for an estimate tomorrow morning. I'll be calling his in the morning.

    So want new paint.

    Anyway, all packed up with the new cargo bag on top of the bed rack.

    I like this set up a lot.

    I have one huge XL duffel bag (filled with a large 4-person tent, bedding, two pillows and two blankets), one large duffel (filled with all my clothes, daughter's clothes, shoes, and back packs), two sleeping bags, queen size air mattress and two camping chairs.... all in the roof top cargo bag.

    No, I'm not kidding.

    Fully loaded the bag sits about 1/2" below my cab's roof line.

    There is zero chance of seeing anything out my back window. This will be my first wheeling trip in 20 years where I have zero visibility out my back window. :(

    Is a 25" breaker bar too much to ever need and to carry in my truck for use with the lug nuts?

    Should I just get the 18"?

    went to pic it up from the shop and the guy stuck them on too low. was pissed at first and thought about trying to peel it off but don't want to risk it pulling the paint up with the emblem. it's kinda growing on me though

    I bought one of these today for $20 at Discount Tire. The only thing is that none of the sockets fit my lug nuts. I could just buy the right socket OR return it and buy an 18" or 25" breaker bar for half the price of the Gorilla and then just get the right sized socket :notsure:

    The 21mm socket should fit,... weird. I just have the breaker bar and went out and bought 21mm and 19mm sockets.

    Haha just ordered them off of ebay for about 100 bucks. Had a set of similar lights that I ordered right after I got the truck and they didn't get hazy for about 4 years so not bad for egay.

    Give it about 30-45 days to let the clear coat cure, then you can debadge it if you want.

    Wonder if something changed when you got the new rims? :confused:
