    How does your truck handle with a swing out tailgate, big tire and wheel? I put 200 lbs of bagged cow poop just inside the bed for easier unloading, didn’t like the weight distribution. Although I don’t like the sway bar delete for on-road handling either. Good write up and photos!

    Truck handles fine. The leaf pack I have is designed for a constant load of 650 pounds before it starts to sag I believe. The weight of the bumper and swing out softened the rear end so it's not a back jarring ride anymore. Only thing that's annoying right now is my alignment. Need to get LCAs so I can have a good alignment. The sway bar delete took me a bit to get used to, not too bad to me anymore

    One of my stimulus parts came in the mail today. Got a mirror riser with ram ball mount from Birddawg industries. I had to make some changes to the mirror so the riser would fit. I wish I did this sooner

    Got bed corner tie downs from ATH today. I'll eventually get them powdercoated down the road. This will definitely help whenever I'm hauling stuff and I can't get my arms to the D rings in the bed20200420_190544.jpg 20200420_193322.jpg 20200420_193340.jpg

    Got my TC bed stiffeners on yesterday and got my new 1/8th inch thick aluminum bed side caps from KB voodoo on today. Reason I took the plastics caps off is because they were sliding back and forth and digging into the paint all the way to the metal, pretty sure the Leer topper was the reason because it shifted back on me a couple of times, and so I can have a flat surface so my Softopper rails can seal better20200423_185405.jpg

    Actually we did a bang up job cleaning it. Can barely smell anything, and even then, you really gotta try

    Nothing truck related. Got a bigger tool box at Home Depot Friday and did some cleaning and reorganizing in the garage the last 2 days. Actually regained some space. Now it'll be a little easier to work on stuff20200509_195459.jpg 20200509_195512.jpg

    Oh almost forgot. Also took the roof basket off my Subaru because I'm planning on putting it up for sale after I put new shocks on it and redo the hood previous owner did a shit job painting the hood and putting sealant around the STI scoop. Definitely looks weird without the basket and lights nowreceived_1930860383614898.jpg 20200509_183824.jpg

    Did some wheeling this past Sunday and today with @Cav_BluTRD @TacomaDad18 and @JTFisherman at a new OHV park in Missouri. Trails are tight as hell but overall we all loved it the park definitely has a lot of potential. I don't have pics from Sunday but here's some pics from today :Dreceived_263281894816595.jpg received_820295838494365.jpg received_722710868560782.jpg received_510149653095392.jpg received_571870533742632.jpg received_708994963225723.jpg received_257261225717185.jpg received_304040657255402.jpg

    Stole @Tigerian 's platform idea for the back had to take the plastic back off so the mat would fit and put some sound deadener on, looks like crap but it should work, next is to get a piece of foam to cover the back up and get a molle panel to put over it20200525_132646.jpg 20200525_134953.jpg 20200525_132646.jpg
