    Yeah, it's not noticible with the wheels straight. I saw the taught line with the wheels turned back in November and thought, "Oh shit! That just moved to the top of the priority list!"

    Then I wheeled it at Hollister, changed the back bumper, went to Death Valley, changed the camper, went to Hollister again, changed the bumper again, had the shocks revalved, 700# springs, installed the skids, went to Carrizo Plain, changed to an @Iggy. dual battery mount, got the swing out, and finally switched brake lines before slickrock.

    I don't recommend this sequence.

    Ok, will add lines to my next list with the new swing out and sliders I am ordering.

    I just noticed some cap rack cracks, so need to figure out a new rack or a fix for those next also.

    And I just got done saying I have nothing else to do to the truck....

    I kept receipts for the first truck...and for the first year on this truck, then I gave up. Did a rough add up in my head the other day and chuckled to myself because I'm NEVER telling the wife that number. EVER.

    i keep all my purchases in an app. on android it was aCar. Was great, told me how much i spent combined with purchase, my average spending on it a month and the like. Good app for maintenance records, MPG records as well as reminding you of maintenance for whatever mile variable.
