Finally Showed up

[markowwes]

So she finally showed up, ordered it back in March, was built on June 17, took about a Month and a half to get to my dealership. Anyway it took me about a week to get it ready to haul, this included: rebuild the camper hold-down as they changed the frame behind the cab, modify the hitch as they changed the spring hangers at the back and mount/wire in the service body, Other than that it went quite well. Made a trip to a lake for the long weekend all systems run great. I thought I might not need the Firestone Ride Rites I had on the 2008 but she still squats a little too much with just the camper. Going to mount the winch now and wire in the up-fitter switches, that’s going to be a project!
Wife wants to go to the Kalispell area for Sept long, I should be ready. Anyone know of a nice camp ground around there?

Great looking rig - love the functionality of the custom bed. And nice job with the winch.

Looking forward to your report on the up-fitter switches. I haven't done anything with mine yet but plan on sending the 40A switch to the camper batteries to improve charging.

Nice truck, but you might want to rethink your planned destination. Fires are again raging in Glacier and parts of the park have been closed.

Very sweet setup!

Question; why the winch?
I don't see this as an off-road rig.

Do you have a specific need for the winch?

Sweet combo!!! What a setup...Drooling over here in the Nor'east :):)

[billyray50]

Very nice setup!

[markowwes]

OK so got the winch mounted, holy cow that was a project, must have been a million bolts to fit and tighten, looks OK though I think.









Going to tackle the “Up Fitter” switches now. Soo much wire

Got it

If you post a link to a photo from an off-site host, does this limitation still apply ?

Not if you use the url type. If you use a IMG type inline, yes.

Correct, because linked photos will show up in another window/tab. This issue with inline photos is that large images scroll the text of the thread off the screen and not every browser will give you scroll bars unless the browser window is full screen.

Just a note - if you use the photoposting tool, it does this for you.
