    I am liking those covers. I don't understand why the fuel tank is smaller than expected for the space you have on the frame but it's ok.

    I can never decide if searcy makes their set up like that to be on the cheap or if it was actually better. I like my enclosed rack, it can be a pain some times to fit every thing in. you might have the same issue here with the material only giving so much. Then storing your tarps like that on the side must be a pain in the neck when their frozen, also takes from the space you have to stand while messing in the rack. my tarps go on top of the rack in a little trough they fit nicely.

    could have changed that tarp box into an 18 inch saddle box and got a bigger fuel tank.

    i seen one of their guys loading combines at case, lots of stuff jammed under the bed, that must answer my question.

    That’s way too much effort. I want to buy an enclosed rack but they are impossible to find. Everyone is out of stock or back ordered. I want the 3 door smooth (no diamond plate). I might be able to source one in an area I don’t run but that’s a pain in the butt.

    I’m also having a hard time getting step boxes. I want two 24” step boxes for both sides of the truck. I called tarpstop for the bawer ones and even though the steps say they are included online they aren’t. When I asked about honoring their advertisement he hung up on me.

    When this truck gets going I’ll try and stop at tri city.

    I was just curious what store... I'm guessing that number is for the main location in Ohio... I always shop in person at the Gary, Indiana location and have never had any issues.

    @Kshaw0960 Any chance you've got a headache rack for sale? There's a small small chance I might need one for a truck.
