    What is the Ragnar Relay again? Isn't it a relay run all the way to LA or something like that? I could be blowing it way out of proportion but I heard it ends in CA somewhere. Much respect to those participating. I wish I could run like that.

    Ragnar is held in many places. The Las Vegas one started at Lee Canyon and ended at Lake Las Vegas. http://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/lasvegas/distances

    Getting to work today my coworker said "that's a big ass truck you're driving"! Made.My.Day!

    Of course I know it isn't huge but proportionally I suppose it may appear that way.

    HAHA! I was WAY off! I have no idea why I thought it started here and ended in CA.

    Planning on removing the pinstripe on my black 2011 guys. Worried it might be noticeable but hoping a little wax job will fix her up. I don't like the pinstripe, super ugly. Hopefully there won't be a noticeable color change.

    Any suggestions on where to get it removed, or how easy it is to do myself. And does anyone wanna join me for some beers and removing it? haha

    I'm not positive but it should just peel off. Maybe, try heating it up a little with a hairdryer or something and be patient, lol.

    It's essentially a vinyl sticker. They make PLASTIC razor blades for removal purposes. Use the blade, then goo gone, then a foaming glass cleaner.

    I got the 3M Eraser Wheel everyone talked about. Super easy, came off in about 15 minutes going around the entire truck. However, there's still two lines or residue or glue remaining, but only noticeable at a close glance.

    Goo gone take care of that? Or what do you guys suggest.

    Tonopah? Have fun! I went there TDY once for a week and never really saw anything cause the vans they drove us around in were windowless and we weren't allowed to have any electronic devices. From what I saw it was just open desert and more open desert.

    Does anyone have a usable 265/70 R16 tire that I could use as a spare?

    Willing to pay for it but not looking to spend more than $50'ish.

    Bilstein 5100's up front, black bull bar, black tube steps.
    Selling a few things I have laying around the garage. Trying to unload it all before I move across town. Going to post in the B/S/T forum & Craigslist as well, but thought I'd try here first.

    Black Bull Bar - $50
    Black side steps - $100
    OEM front Bilstein shocks, only 180 miles on them - $75obo
    Front & rear mud flaps (took them off at 180 miles) - $75obo

    Pictured below is the steps & bull bar installed, but they're no longer on the truck. The bull bar has been off for about 6 months, the steps I just took off 2 weeks ago when I got my N-fabs.

    PM me if interested in anything. Also selling my couches if anyone is in the market for those.

    My dad lived in Tonopah when he worked at test site. Research Alamo or Caliente as your main place of residence and just stay in Tonopah when working.
