    Just got back from Big Bear! Had a super fun time using the rig. Definitely noticed a very big difference with the new 255’s and wasn’t struggling up hills anymore. 308 miles a tank, woo!

    Things I did notice - I need a high clearance bumper @Shmellmopwho (sell me yours lol), a kitchen table on the swingout would be nice, and a bedslide would be nice.

    They are available for sale! I just got it in today and test fitted it...

    Contact True North Fabrications on Instagram. I believe he’s selling them either as a weld-together kit or fully welded by him.

    Any recommendations on 38-42" light bars? Looking for something pretty good and bright...Might skip the eBay ones this time around haha. I found them to just not be bright.

    Trucks just puttin' around. Really don't know what to do with it haha. It drives fine, but it's asking for more money spent on it. The GFC is catching my eye, but the price tag is scary.

    All my money went towards alcohol

    I’ve seen a couple pop up here too! But I don’t think I need it now since I’ll be able to stand in the truck bed and be covered.

    Yup! Hopefully between my RTT, shell, and roof rack...it’ll help me out a lot. I’m lucky to be living at home this semester - Next semester I’ll be moving out, so saving will get a bit tougher.
