It is a little low here, but overall not bad at all. The temp of the water is just about perfect. And it is beautiful!

Zero... And it is plenty hot today. Oil and water temps are consistent up here in the hill country.

Thanks a bunch for the pics. Makes me second guess not getting white haha. It’s funny how 37s look about perfect to maybe slightly small on these trucks.

I agree 37’s are the perfect size, really anything else looks too small. I daily drive with 37’s, tow, haul and use my truck for camping, I have no issues in 30,000 miles.
What kind of mileage are you getting with the 4.30s and 37s? I bought my 3500 for a big slide in camper and now that it's sold I only tow my bay boat and lifted popup camper. I was thinking 4.10s.

I carry allot of gear in my truck and have a topper, that said, I get around 17 to 18 with my mix of city and highway driving, mainly highway. I have no complaints on mpg, I got a big heavy truck, big tires, heavy winch bumper and a topper.

Thank you! Me too.
Yea, I looked at a ton of bumpers, and this one and the AEV had the better fit and finish IMO. I really needed more front protection and space for lighting, so I picked the ARB.
Not a problem. 37's fit these trucks with relative ease. Your truck looks awesome by the way!
30K! Now that is what I like to hear.
You have any pics of your truck you can share with the topper? I am STRUGGLING to decide on one. I keep thinking ARE HD, but I really like the Snugtop outback as well. I just want one that lasts, and gives the easiest access, with the best features.

We arrived back from our little family vacation late last night. Was a fun time, and we have for sure outgrown the RTT and Annex. The boys are getting old enough to where they want to take over the RTT, so we took over the annex. We all sleep good with the AC on etc, but mama wants a bit more privacy and room to grow. I can understand that, so we will be selling the trailer soon, and looking into a UEV-490. She really likes the setup they provide, especially the private shower/potty.
We stayed at a little ranch camp right on the river. It was fairly private, and there wasn't much foot traffic at all. Lots of places to swim and relax. Was strange not having to worry about solar panel alignment, or dealing with power management. And was nice having shore water etc. Didn't have a worry in the world.
So... Here was camp, along with the kitchen setup. Most of our stuff is old, and has been well used, but works. My wife have enjoyed camping together for over 18 years, so some of it has been around for a long time. I just fix or replace what gets broken.
Here are some pics of some of the swimming holes and birds. I love all the birds here, wish I would have brought my Nikon. The boys LOVED the rope swing.

We also went to Gruene TX about 20 minutes up the road. They have a nice little town, and the Gristmill is awesome to eat at from the lower deck. It feels like you are dining in the trees. Got the boys some old cap guns and actually found some caps for them. They love em'. LOL
