And IMHO, 35's don't make a good DD on a truck this size. I had them on my '87 F-350, but that had about 3000 more lbs, more wheelbase and width. For a daily, 33x10.50 KOs are good, but 31's are perfect.

 

If you are going to use a non-Comanche Bed, then a Ute style trayback would be my choice. I would probably have less overhang, and the ladder rack is meh, but I think they have a lot of utility and can look pretty decent.

What the heck is a .jfif?

 

The rack on this is actually a canvas canopy kit, and would be cool, but still shows what I mean.

 

That would be very cool looking!

Well I got it! And a bunch of other parts, but I did pay more than the asking price so I could get a bunch more parts. 

[BeatCJ]

No, no, no...

 

I got a great deal on the the.Comanche, and for a little more I had.an opportunity to buy some premium parts.

 

You need to learn to spin these things now, or you'll never be allowed to board cool stuff.

Nice! And now you have a sport bar for the shop to replicate.

My dad is actually looking to buy a tubing bender, but the ones that they have would take up way too much room in his shop. And he can’t add on because he already has a variance for the size of his shop from the county we live in already.

I don’t have room for it either, someday I will, but not yet.
