    If you were to build a bed rack for an access cab bed (idk if it's the same as a long bed or w/e) with two fuel can holders, spare tire mount up top and room to hold a shovel and hi lift, how much would you charge? PM if you could please :) I'm trying to price out how much a bed rack would be for my truck.

    That looks awesome! I might have to do the same. Is that just the lighting or is there really little dimples around the holes for the fenders?

    My next tires may be something different, just because i like experimenting and trying out different options, however, it is not becasue of any downfall of the treadwrights. i have no regrets purchasing them, and absolutely love them so far. soft enough tread to grip offroad, yet durable enough to take a beating and get good treadlife on-road. they are a couple pounds heavier than other 285/70/17s, but they also have a deeper tread and measure a little larger than stated. on the louder side, but if you drive a truck that will actually put a tire like this to use, odds are, other aspects of your truck are just as loud on the highway.

    my recomendation is, if you offroad, can't go wrong with these. if you want a mud tire for looks, go with something else that is a little lighter and maybe with a couple 32nds less tread.

    Yo dawg, we heard you like bed racks, so we put a bed rack on your bed rack, so you can overland while you expedition and burn fuel while you burn fuel.

    Headed up to Jacksonville to deliver the latest Overland Off-Road bed rack.
