Okay, will do.

 

I hate it when guys from the mainland assume that all of these DB trucks with low-pro tires on 20" rims are all from Hawaii. There are a lot of them here, but when you look online, majority of these type trucks are in the mainland, wether it be a Ford. Dodge, or Toyota. You could call it a "hawaii style" but there are much more trucks like this scattered all over the mainland. I like to call it, "Bro" style.

 

My DB lift breaks the mold on that one so it's going to be fun when I'm driving my truck in WA, but that won't be until August. And there in fact are a lot of street queens back on the mainland.

 

I don't see anything wrong with a DB lift. A lot of people exaggerate the negatives to a DB lift when they are just fine for a lot of applications.

 

for those of you who have hi lifts: where and how are you guys mounting them? anyone have an extra set or making them

 

I've had an ATO hi lift mount for a while. It's lockable

 

it wouldn't be hard to make. I have a set of Relentless, but might make a new set when I get back.

 

There's also the All Pro styled ones.

 

I don't either to be honest. I love my lift and it has done me well when we go out for the weekends. It just bugs me when people say "Sick truck what kind of a lift do you have?" I tell them then they respond with "Screw that, I bet you don't offroad." And that's when I laugh at them.

 

You can go get some 1/8" steel and bend it to make a mount. Mine's not lockable or anything but it's been working fine since I mounted it. It's fastened to the bed rail with a couple of bullaculla inserts.

 

How does your bed get so dirty with a camper?

 

dirt and stuff still gets inside, it just doesn't go anywhere unless you wipe it down.

 

Does a camper seal better than a soft topper?

 

probably. mine leaks water in 2 places when it rains hard, but it isn't bad.

 

I'll just leave this here

nice looking blower

 

Ahh shetty

 

That's how dirty it gets when you don't have fender liners. It doesn't get dirty anymore, I just haven't cleaned it since.
