    we're about 20 minutes outside of washington dc. it was a great place to grow up, but i had to get away from all of the hustle and bustle. traffic is some of the worst in the country, and everyone seems to be pissed off. i'm enjoying florida much more, but it's still nice to come back and stay with the family a couple times a year.

    i'm sure they would love to make them as well, but the casings are probably just too hard to come by.

    you looking for a little more bite, or just wanting something a tad taller?

    A tad taller for clearance while also not rubbing the cab mount, sheet metal etc. also, rotational mass has got to be way down on them so a little savings on gas would be nice too.

    yep, the guard dogs. really looking forward to them.

    haha, thanks. I got the tool box from jason, one of the members down here in FL. really wanted to have some watertight, lockable storage in the bed (used to have a tonneau cover for that), but my previous bed rack, while functional, didn't allow for the use of a tool box. took some thinking, but i'm happy with how it turned out.
