    Don't know exactly.

    I'll let you know if I hear an update before they post one. :D

    Truck feels great right now. Honestly feels fast compared to the 2nd gen. :rofl: Was able to pull over speed limit in 4th gear up I-70 both ways. I don't think I would want 5.29s, even with 35s.

    I attribute a lot of that to a lack of weight. Going to make a point to not make it too heavy again.

    Gears became the top of my list after pulling a trailer to and from Moab. Almost had to resort to double low on vail pass. Lol.
    Whats your idea for a rear bumper/spare tire?

    Super simple tube bumper. Just need to buy a bender and learn how to use it. :rofl:

    Spare tire upright against the front of the bed.

    Is this in conjunction with a SAS or just bobbing for the time being?

    Nope, no SAS quite yet.

    :thumbsup: I'm waiting on tires that are on a national backorder, and the ecocrawler. Hopefully both show up soon.

    So if you take this to moab, does that mean you're going to tow it? As clearly the GFC does not fit anymore haha

    Damn, looks like it's gonna be 60 there this weekend. I'll give it a think, I've been itching to get on the bike.

    What's the GFC have to do with towing it? It'll drive itself to Moab just fine, and I own a ground tent.

    Thought about cutting 13" out to make in the same length as a short bed, but landed at 10"
