Thanks Tim! No, the fenders clear by about 1/2" with the bags dumped.

I didn't forget the pics of the burned truck yesterday, I didn't get there. He got called out and didn't get back til after dark. I'm supposed to go up there Thursday afternoon now.

You bet they have a warranty!..They are Guaranteed to stick to something

No need to order a case I will send you a couple, hermetically sealed ( We have an Illegal named Herme sealing these up for shipment) that way the envelope won't be leaking diesel fuel in your mail box

Want me to use the address I found on that poster of you in the Post Office?

Great work and truck there Scott.
I have thought alot about getting a bigger truck for a bigger RV as opposed to pushing my 3500 to pull something outside its limits. The used market looks real good and that would do the job. The length of the frame could stay that way and one could put bikes or other cargo inbetween the RV and the cab.

Hmmmm.

Yo LEGGED one of the south. Those stickers I got from you were only good for Low Sulpher Diesel.

You have to mount them higher on the vehicle...mount them low like that and they are only good for low sulfur diesel

Maybe sulpher is different from sulfer. I figured if I used the stickers as mud flaps...ULTRA LOW, it would help. oh well. My older Twin knows his Stickers. Moving them up to the roof line now.

Thanks!

You give me too much credit Stan. We brought the truck home in early November and I've been working on it ever since. Granted, not each and every day, but pretty close. There's lots of little stuff that you can't really see that's time consuming too, and lot's of little stuff left to do as well. Still have to do brakes and drums but that's easy stuff.

Then paint all the primed stuff.

Have to check out this bedliner I just got for the jeep. Monstaliner. Suppose to be one of the tougher ones and UV resistant. Also chassissaver. Protects like POR-15, but UV resistant and not as finicky to apply.
