    I got it used and had to drive a good 4 hours away to get it. I paid 950 for it and the dealer installed it and installed some yakima tracks for me as well. It was a good deal, but I was on Craigslist for months trying to find it. Black and short bed is rare apparently

    I got to use my RTT and loved it. I need to get different springs. The deavers can't handle all the weight

    Even the upgraded deavers suck haha, maybe ome Dakar with the aal, or all pro expo pack might suit you better

    I've been looking at the all pro expo pack, but yeah I really thought the deavers with the overload springs would work. At least I got them on the cheap

    Thanks, Ron! I just use a drill to spin the gear to raise and lower it. It works out great

    I haven't updated in a long time so I thought I'd share some images of some electrical work I am doing. I got the idea from @DirtJumper14 so thanks dude!

    I added some lights on the shell of my truck. One on passenger, one on rear and one on driver. I set them up so when I arrive at a campsite at night it's easier to setup with some light! I also have a light bar on top and a small 20" in my bumper.
