Okay. Just make sure the strap you're talking about is static and not dynamic. I think most of the dynamic straps are made of 100% nylon.

Snatch strap+shackle+winch line=danger. As for your original question, I have a storage system as you describe, but I lash my recovery gear bag where it's handy instead of keeping it under other gear or inside a drawer. I learned that the hard way.

Aaron, the truck is looking better every day. Will the bumper get one of these soon?

This seems to be the best explanation in this thread so far. In this scenario, it would seem that most wheels could suffer some kind of damage.

Had to reschedule. It's this Thursday. I've already got the wiring and plumbing all run and sorted out.

Glad you're enjoying it. You'll find it's quite capable. Departure angle is definitely something you’ll have to work around. I know this statement could be interpreted a few different ways; but just in case, please make sure you’re following Tread Lightly principles. We all represent...

Here's a good resource for quality info. http://www.adventureparents.com/

Lots of good info here and here; although, these discussions contain more than just espresso talk.

Yours should have a locking center differential. Do you have a question about it specifically?

Nice looking truck and low miles too. 31" tires will be no problem. That's what you probably have on there now, as 265/70/16 is the stock tire size in the US. It looks like it has a decent set of all-terrains on there now. Probably not too bad to break the truck in over the next several...

Oh, I know. We're actually looking into it this year. It will be a slow process. Find jobs for both of us, find a place to live, sell the house. But, hopefully, we'll be able to pull it off.

Ok; I'll bite. How is it that the radio and the handcuffs hanging from the rear-view mirror go extremely well together?

No worries. Now keep in mind, that the 80 with a rear locker would be quite capable. You could add the front later if you can't do it now.

No, this would not. A center diff is used in full-time systems vs. part-time systems. With the center diff locked, it functions the same as any other part-time (traditional) 4WD system. Power is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles; which wheels get power is up to the...

Just rub salt in the wounds why don't ya, Brian. :sombrero: I'll be driving for 2 days. I gotta do something about that. :rolleyes:

Wow, Nic, nice find. I've always really liked the 60 series trucks. I'm subscribing now; I can't wait to see what you do with this.

Here's a view of Mexico (that's a bend in the Rio Grande) and Texas (Chisos Mountains) in the same shot from our tent. I would love to have this view every morning...:coffeedrink:

Wow, I guess I missed this. This completely changes the function of the ER setup. I'm curious about what led you to the transformation. If it's posted elsewhere, I apologize for hi-jacking the thread. As for your original question, the first thing I thought of was one on each side. I'm...

Front Bumper??? or an RTT?
