    Looks awesome!

    I started out by making a 4'×4' base. Dug down 4" and leveled it. Then I added 2" of compacted and leveled paver stone, followed by 1" of compacted and leveled paver sand. Then I set 9 16"×16" pavers down and locked them into place with some paver lock to prevent migration.

    The walls are just 36 landscaping blocks. The steel bowl is a 36" firepit I bought at Lowes. I just left off the legs and set it down in the circle

    Oh I love them. Just thought the street tires that came on the Trail rims would serve me better on the stockers.

    The Trails have Duratracs on them now. Well...2 of them anyway. I will buy 2 more soon.

    Ha ha. Last weekend I emptied the garage to clean the floor. So everything was sitting out.

    I already had 2 DTs that I would throw on the rear for a little extra traction in the snow. So, I'll be buying 2 more at some point.

    Not a mod, there's not been many of them for a while as I'm kinda trying to figure some stuff out with the camper. I just used it like a truck which, to me, is just what it is there always seems to be work to get done. I hooked up the 5x10 trailer and went and got 4 yards of mulch. I'm sadly playing a 3 year catch up game around here with the surgeries the last 2 years the yard and flower beds have suffered. It's getting back in shape slowly the 4 yards of mulch was just enough to do the 1 main front flower bed. It will take at least 2 more loads to get all the beds done. The mulch yard was a swamp so at least that was a little fun.

    For those who have a 3 leaf progressive add a leaf IDK how they've worked for you but I've had them in 2 different trucks and they have been great so far. Even with this heavy load of mulch the rear of the truck barely dropped at all. How they will last compared to a set of Dakars or comparitive spring pack IDK but they work good now anyway and ride good.

    Thats a crap ton of mulch. My back aches just looking at that.

    I had a single leaf aal, and it squatted with a heavy load. I think the 3 leaf aals are probably better in that regard. But those dakars people have are beefy as hell. I have helped install those and the all pro expos. Those are also beef. But some of those expo leafs ive seen after a year or so and they get rusty. Fast.

    I’m happy with my icon aal I loaded it up this weekend with about 6 80lbs bags of soil an fertilizer an I’m armored like yours. It did squat but not like I had thought maybe 1/2in at the most rode good. I do have my overload leaf out currently but will be putting back in getting a rear bumper sometime soon am doing u-bolt flip with timbren bumpstops.

    An aftermarket leaf pack is in the future but I’m impressed with how these are working for now. As far as the mulch goes, I’ll need at least 2 more of those loads to get all of it done you’ve seen the flower beds around our house
