    Wouldn't it be nice if all vehicles came with rubber floors like the old days? Carpet in vehicles is as close to idiocy as carpet in a garage.

    Here too, the Coopers for my FJ Cruiser were $1200 a few years ago, and they were normal car tires, not rated E.

    Nice rig. I'm curious about your decision process to select Steelcraft? Was it a matter of dealer proximity, style or price? I am considering one for my rig, but Steelcraft doesn't have dealers in my area.

    Actually all three. Dealer was 1.5 hr drive from home, I liked the design better than Ranch Hand and it was several Benjamins cheaper.
    This company will ship to you...https://bumperstock.com/collections/steelcraft-bumpers

    And the right color too. Think they'd ship it to me?

    I'm sure they would...replacement beds and tailgates is big business...and it's not hard to find white, the most common truck color, by a mile (IIRC it's something like 25-30%, depending on the year) probably getting a lil harder to find OEM tailgate for that vintage truck though...aftermarket is ok, but gotta watch out for the real cheap stuff, quality is poor for sure...wouldn't last you any time at all!
    Locust Post probably knows which aftermarket tailgates are decent.

    Im thinking its close to time for a "new to me" truck. I kinda planned on seven years for it which passed end of October. I browse FBM for F150's now and then and found the identical truck with a utility cap tools boxes and ladder racks, showroom clean for $4500. Thinking current one for firewood only and the other for my other job. It may have sold. This was a few weeks ago.

    If that was legit, I'd almost guarantee it's sold...any decent truck under $10-15k sells fast these days! But if it was 4x2, that's helps keep price down quite a lot...still sounds like a deal if it checked out mechanically.
    Here's a nice one for ya...only 66k miles too! Screenshot_20241124-225515.png

    if the aftermarket shows to be CAPA certified it is usually pretty good, also if you buy it from Keystone Corp. it will have a lifetime warranty.
