Excellent read thank you for posting it.

I would return it asap and if the retailer wont a list you go through your cc company to dispute the charge. If you used Amazon they are very easy to return through as well. Good luck. That's too bad. And too bad about the vertical storage only, I can see that being an issue. I have honestly...

Next year Chevy is restarting the 4500, 5500, 6500 series of HD trucks with the Duramax. You may well be sold on the Ford platform but "exploring" the Chevies might be a way to give you some negotiating pressure with the dealer when the Chevies come out I dont know. Just a thought.

I'll echo what everyone else has said- keep it. My 04 Yukon has 240K or so and keeps going. I think the key is how you look at that odd repair that crops up- I view it as my annual car payment, it might be $500 or might be $750 but its once a year. The downside is I dont know when it will...

I like wood decking....much quieter with stuff banging around in the back and can replace single planks as needed. Rough cut (true dimension) Doug Fir makes excellent decking and you can sand the upside if you want it smoother (but some times the rough cut helps keep stuff from sliding around...

Put gutters on everything and get a bunch of rain barrels.

This may help your fitment options. Of course with the flatbed it may change. But this is the upfitter diagrams for 2005's and you can see the dimensions to know what alternatives might fit etc. Some of the early pages give you a breakdown of layouts. But especially pages 173 and 174 have the...

I like the idea of the Anderson's like that. I was just going through how to put together a similar setup so I could have jumper cables but also a portable air system. I dont have air lockers so dont need permanent air tied to the vehicle. I like the ARB portable system but the price is high...

I "sort of" like the Titan stuff but waaaay to spendy in my mind. No thanks! I'm betting you could find a way to make that work. Might be worth looking at some of the older versions that had tanks on both side? I dont know but maybe you could get one on the other side too....then you'd have...

Yetti what bed length do you have? The '05 1500HD had a 34 gallon tank and I'm guessing that might fit? Might need to have some different brackets so I'd spend some time looking at them. But it's not a totally diff body style or anything. I would see if you could get one from a boneyard...

Very cool! I love how these trucks look done well. A lot of folks will throw a camper on the back and while I know your plans are far more than that it does seem like it's a way that you can get out and use them with the body as is - not sure your overall timeline but it seems like that would...

So is Jace saying that no one at the company can access emails sent to "info@...."? I'm astonished at this level of nonsense. And as others have said it's too bad bc they are good looking bumpers. Its times like this I recall how LL Bean started their 100% lifetime warranty....its because the...

Thanks Box Rocket, appreciate the feedback....I saw elsewhere they will be available this spring so maybe we will see them yet. I'm not so concerned with the nesting height as long as the "studs" dont pull out and leave a misshapen hole that cant have a new stud put in.

I posted these links in Evldave's $50 Dual Battery Thread in the electrical section but thought they might appeal to folks in this thread too. Here are the links to upfitter manuals from GM, Ford and RAM. They provide documented measurements for all the various layouts of body and bed styles as...

I learn so much from threads like this and have literally nothing to add as far as technical expertise on wiring. You guys have it WAY over my head on this stuff. I really appreciate all the info people have posted here and especially evldave who has a knack for taking something complicated and...

Great truck and I like the thoughtful approach to everything you are doing with it. (y)

I saw on another post he made that he swapped it. I think the 5.3 was his "starting point"....

Of the two- Durango area v Key West I would go with the Durango hands down (having been to both). Not that Key West isn't fun just not the same. Get to Silverton and you can spend days prowling the back country doing some of the lesser rated jeep trail/county roads- Hurricane Pass, Ophir Pass...

Looks good....always good to see someone local too. (y)

Pics look great. And thanks for the answer- so with no kids and 2nd seating being available for storage, break it down into what you need to be able to have quick access to versus less access to in deciding what goes in the 2nd row area versus bed/decked system storage. I would also keep noise...
