Re: Tork lift outside arms compatibility
I took the good advice here and called Tork Lift. Folks were very helpful. It sounded pretty iffy on the fit......straight vs. curved so I'm going to order from them for a grand total of 32.00 more (total) over the price on Craigslist. If anybody's in the market, there is a set of arms for sale on the Portland, Or Craigslist. Thanks for all the help.340Views0likes0CommentsTork lift outside arms compatibility
I sold my Tork Lift tie-down arms with an old camper but still have the brackets installed on my 2005 F-250. I have an opportunity to buy a set of arms off of that the owner says fit on his 2004 Dodge 2500 and also 2001 F250 Superduty. Sounds likely to fit to me. Can anybody confirm or deny this?? Thanks Using square tube made in my shop arms right now and not too proud of them....1.3KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Carrying stuff on the roof

I have driven 5000 miles with the thule cargo box and close to 3000 miles with my kayaks on the roof rack system. Are you referring to using the factory roof rack system as a base or something else? I'm a little leery of the strength of the OEM ones. Maybe for no reason.753Views0likes0CommentsRe: 19.5 Tires or Not??

They are half the price and my truck is much more enjoyable to drive. Those 19.5s beat the ball joints and tie rods to the point of replacement. My truck carries my Northern Lite camper wonderfully with the new wheel tire setup. I wont go back to 19.5s and I dont miss them. If I were to get a larger slide out style camper I'd make my truck a dually first. I'd be interested in the model and purchase location of those wheels. Sounds like a good way to go................. I purchased my wheels and tires at Les Schwab right down the street, so easy warranty resolution, free flat repair, rotations etc. http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/open-country-at-ii-on-off-road-all-terrain-tires http://www.visionwheel.com/wheel.cfm?id=702 Thanks, my bro-in law runs the Enumclaw store but it's a hike to shop there for me. Got a couple local stores though.738Views0likes0CommentsRe: 19.5 Tires or Not??

What is available to get a true read on battery state. Running 2-GC2 batteries. The monitor panel isn't real helpful at showing condition with a green, yellow and red light. Don't want to pull them down too far but I want to know what is truly available. I know this has probably been covered too but how far should you pull them down without damaging them?
