    It’s is baffling to see how they can be treated differently just by the way it was advertised. Zoo v. Rescue

    But I agree with @RobP62 he could have killed myself & fed himself to the tigers.

    The Here Kitty Kitty music video is gold!

    :humble: While I haven't seen a single episode of the Carol and the Tigers show, we've been binge watching Investigation Discovery so I might have the edge.

    I’m bored. The thought of bobbing my bed has always been in the back of my mind. What’s everyone else’s thoughts?

    My bed rack is already for sale, and I would be able to sell my HC bumper and my Softopper as well. I would end up making money off of all this.

    The work doesn’t intimidate me. I just feel like right now I’m walking a fine line of the truck looking sexy, but also a bit beat from offroad. This would cross it over into more “I wheel my shit and I don’t care how my truck looks”. That’s my only reservation.

    I am curious if anyone else has any input.

    Where it mounts would get cut off. I’d rather leave it as one piece and sell it for ~$700 and just make a basic bumper myself, welded right to the frame.

    Considering you have another vehicle and this is just a toy to wheel, I would say go for it. Although will you still be able to bring everything for longer trips?

    That was part of my consideration as well. 98% of the time it’s only me, as Kara only joins me for maybe one or two trips a year. During those times we’ll just be more mindful of what we bring, since whenever her and tony come it tends to get a bit ridiculous.

    Unrelated to that, but I’d miss my dry storage, so if I could get it to the same length as a short bed I could put a tonneau cover on it!

    I think it looks pretty weird, but it may be because this is a bestop, and I think those look weird anyways.

    I think its just cause it's a best top and those are weight. I actually really like the top one.

    I’d want to make a bumper like this. Something low profile and basic. Sexy.

    The more I look at it the more I like it. I think I could do a little cleaner job than that guy with the rear bumper, and my rear fenders aren't trimmed so it would have a little more of a full look in the back.
