So your planning on mounting the tent offset to the drivers side? How far is this going to move your CG off of the centerline of the truck? Would it not make more sense to mount the tent offset to the passenger side, as your fuel tank is offset to the drivers side (the fuel tank is on the drivers side isn't it?)?
Just wondering (you know how us anal retentive guys get at midnight when we are rolling through the message boards...)
BTW, what happened to all the emoticons that used to be to the right of the "reply" field? They have been missing for a week or two.....
GT,
As always, you are the most observant of fellows...
When I did the drawing, I did not take those items into account, but after further review, there were several items that requires me to have the tent on the passenger side. The first is the shovel and axe mount. The tent will not fold over them (they sit above the bedrail slightly). Then, the second issue, and of biggest concern is the fuel and water, as you mention, which is both off-set to the drivers side. So, you are correct amigo, the tent will be on the drivers side, I just didnt want to redo my drawing :smilies27
On the smiley's, I don't know. I have them :wavey:
