    I carry so much shit...

    The last time I drove my truck over a scale, it was over 6000 pounds. No joke. I trimmed maybe 200 off that since, but maybe not. I DD it like that. And wheel it like that. I have the Dakar pack with AAL.

    255/85/16 tires

    Oh, and I tow a trailer with logs and branches and other debris regularly too - I do forestry work.

    And my raft

    This comes down to driving style/needs. If it is a question of travel, there are better options, let's face it

    In the cab, I have: Tire chains, socket set, wrench set, random tools box, retired climbing rope, rain gear, bottle jack (in addition to OEM jack), road flares, PB Blaster, window cleaner, starting fluid, ARB inflator and hose, 3lb hammer, tire plug kit, roll of shop towels, and toilet paper. Then I shove a bunch of other stuff behind the front seats. This includes: large crescent wrench, channel locks, framing hammer, wire fence tool, gallon of water (currently frozen:D), rifle scabbard (currently unoccupied), CB (because it's huge and old. I'll mount a newer smaller one eventually), and magnetic base antenna.

    In the back, I have: 100' of 3/8" cable with attachments on each end, 2 - 2"x20' tow straps, 20' of heavy chain, 3 large shackles, 3 logging rated pulleys, my Warn X8000i on a removable cradle, shovel, grain scoop, pulaski, crow bar, come along, 4 way lug wrench, extra automotive fluids, Husky 550 XP (72d bar) with extra fluids, a sled and cross country skis (in winter), various lengths of rope, and a small plastic bottle of whiskey. The small stuff is in a milk crate, and everything fits under my sleeping platform. I also have a 60" all cast hi lift which nests beside the platform, and the off road base and lift mate.

    [​IMG]

    Plus my 200+ pound topper, skids, sliders, front hitch, 60 pound tires, wood platforms, etc...

    Alrighty just spent my two weeks earnings on suspension parts with the 885 coils, billstien shocks, Dakar leads, and 3/8" spacers what tire size will fill up the wheel well nicely? I am not looking for off-road tires but I want a nice allterrain or something. Thanks again for all the help.
