    Current set up as as of: October 2016

    My truck is for taking me places to dirt bike, but then I started doing mods to the truck and figured I need to keep track of them. Here's some photos.

    This is before I raised the front to match the height of the rear.

    This is the first weekend after I got the truck, I was still waiting on my Prinsu rack to come in so my Tepui was a ground tent.

    20151021_074401.jpg

    Installed the Prinsu roof rack, and love it. The lightbar came next.

    Then, after a deployment and the truck sitting for almost a year, I decided it was time for a lift. I went with the Icon Stage IV.

    What is a lift without wheels and tires? BFG K02 275/70/17 and Ray10s

    This super cheap sticker really makes the interior look even better.

    Here is a photo of the before shitty chrome grille.

    And here is an after photo.

    In addition to getting me places to dirt bike, its a small overlanding vehicle... I wanted to be able to hang out in the middle of nowhere for a bit so I looked into a dual battery system and Matt from Off Grid Engineering was super close so I went with his and had him install it. Really great dude, really great product.

    I now have a place to hook up wiring for future mods, and in the bed I have a constantly powered 2 usb port and a port for my ARB fridge.

    My bed turns into a soup kitchen after a day or two of camping.

    That is an amazing looking rack, just the kind of beefy, but low profile I want to use. What is the additional noise like at speed?

    Definitely noticeable but not bad. I have to listen to music whenever I drive...so I don't even hear it.

    Looks like there isn't much clearance between the roof and the rack. Any worries about the support bars putting pressure on the roof once the rack is loaded with that RTT and you in it?

    So the RTT actually sits on the top of the Prinsu rack, I placed a spacer between the cross bar and the bottom of the tent to mitigate this issue, that caused the smallest cunt hair of lack of space where the side bolts screw into holes on the Prinsu so I had to have my buddy stand on the back left corner to get the screw to start threading.. With the tent, and my 180lb buddy standing pretty far back left, isolating most of the weight to one spot, there was no bowing or bending of the Prinsu, the clearance that is shown is probably going to stay that way with weight in the tent spread out...

    That was the longest fucking answer in the history of answers.
