    It needs a suspension to handle the weight. It has a lot of body roll and drives like crap.

    It’s also desperate for a regear and it’s supercharger should be back from rebuild soon. The tundra brakes make a huge difference.

    I can shed a bunch of weight by leaving tools at home. I like to work on the camper at camp so I carry all kinds of stuff.
    I want to replace the golf cart batteries with lithium when the prices eventually come down.
    Also get rid of stuff that lives in there that I just don’t use. Like there’s 6-8 cans of food I’m never going to eat while it’s in the truck. And do I really need a bottle of mezcal, a bottle of light rum, a bottle of dark rum and a bottle of tequila?
    between those I can shed around 200 pounds.

    Edit: and carry a reasonable amount of water and a water filter. 7 gallons is a bit much. I almost never have a campfire when I’m out solo so the extra water just isn’t needed.

    What kinda shocks do you have?

    Ive been thinking custom Alcans and Kings. Do the rears next spring and the fronts later.

    edit: just noticed the lol in your post so I may have totally misread what you’re talking about.

    I have OME with the add a leaf in the back. It has about 65k miles and is getting tired. I also have Timbren load bearing bump stops. They help a bit.

    Exactly. Plus, if I'm camping alone, I'm too lazy to start a fire. Rather eat and go to bed cause I've usually been fishing all day.

    Awe, man! I was just about to say I'm in!

    If you change your mind I have a decent size Kelty Noah's tarp we can put up.
    Is it afternoon thunderstorms because those are cool as shit!

    You should just take 5mg of edibles. Any more and you might break your personality (Edit: I might be thinking of something else).
