    Here it is... This one works with the factory hitch which was a requirement for me. Plus it was half price of new and the guy mounted it and didn't like the bulky look. Now I'm going to get rid of the logos - either led pods or just weld em' up.

    Maybe....as long as it's not during the rut,lol.
    I hunt heavy late season. I'm usually on vacation from mid-Nov. to New Years. One advantage to being an old fart is I get 6 weeks vacation.

    Were you thinking something local or out of State? Just one night or a weekend? If you're thinking raush creek I'd probably be out, even the "easy" trails look like they involve a lot of rocky terrain, anyone ever been there to see the trails first hand?

    That sounds like it would be a fun trip but would definitely need a lot of planning and advanced notice on my part because of having a "better half" and two little munchkins. Not for them to go, but to make sure the wife would be cool with it and handling the kiddos alone.

    I've been there a number of times. A completely stock Taco without any armor is fine at Rausch on any of the green trails. The terrain there can accomodate anybody but if a stock truck stays on greens they are fine. I usually do greens, blues and some blacks but I'm lifted with bigger tires, sliders and skids

    The rails mount right into the track on the inside of the bed. Just take your time making sure they stay flat on the rail and that the clamps are on solid. the frame goes together easy and so does the topper. It is recommended that you you leave the topper attracted for a week to stretch it out to form it. Took me about an hour.
