Just a home made chest basically with the spare held in behind it and the high lift jack mounted in front. It has everything to do a full cv axle swap. Been there, needed that

They aren't that expensive. I have fully optioned 17 Colorado LT Diesel CCLB and got it for $7k less than sticker brand new. And have seen em new mid-trim for 33k and lightly used for less. Plenty on Autotrader.
I'm pretty pleased with it. Lots of aftermarket support and parts are being made for it which is good to see, as it's been Tacos that get all the love. And I'm getting 28mpg doing 70+ mph on +-3000 ft elevation gains on my normal drive. It's pretty awesome. It's my daily driver doing about 3000miles a month so that mpg even with a little 2" lift, and A/T tires is epic and better than my past subies could do.
Waiting for OME to release a suspention kit, and a few more dollars to come my way to get more heavy duty parts (bumper, skidplates, rock rails, tires, etc.)
Right now it's got a 2" spacer/block lift, GDE Tuned, SwitchPros 9500, HAM radio and a few other bolt-ons. Spent the winter installing parts, and grabbing upgraded camping gear. Excited for the summer trips.
They are pretty awesome rigs. Like everything, not perfect, but nails everything where it matters. Pretty worthy of consideration for a jack of all trades rig.

Yeah, but can I drop a stack of plywood in the bed and it not hang out past the tailgate?They aren't that expensive.

No. That's not a "feature" of any mid size pickup. With the tailgate down it's 8' long, but it's not wide enough for a 4' object between the wheel wells.

Rats. I could do it in an '87 long bed ranger I used to drive on a farm where I worked. It was a selling point for the Rangers when they first came on the scene.

Got a bumper (and battery tray to give room for coolant overflow/windshield washer reservoir relocation in a few days) made up, pretty happy with how it turned out.

Another new guy here with a overpriced diesel ZR2 that's also very functional and fun to explore in.

I've seen both fiberglass and aluminium/ steel caps but none have had a single rear door- they've all been the tailgate and hatch lay out, that doesn't mean they aren't making them just they're less popular and I haven't seen them on the road

The single rear door would be a utility cap and not a popular option for most people. Here is one very similar to the one that was on an 80's ford long bed F250 that I drove for work many years ago.
Nice bumper. Im in the process of building one for my dakota.

Thanks man! I'm pretty happy with it. If I decide to do a solid axle swap I'll probably do a redesign, but it'll work well for now.

Leer and ARE both make several canopies for them, you can even utility ones with all sorts of features.
If you don't want hard, Besttop also makes a soft canopy for them.
They range in price for $1700 to about $3500 .... I've almost pulled the trigger on an ARE twice, but it's my wife who wants the canopy and I figure if I do I'll lose my truck to her.... yeah, I'm a selfish cuss.
