The camper will sit over the passenger door, although with the six foot bed it's obviously not going to cover as much of the roof as it would with the five foot bed. I also have the sunroof so between the two I probably won't ever attempt to put a roof rack on. I am getting load bars on the camper and can store light items up there. Maybe my recovery boards for example....
I purchased and had the wheels and tires installed at Discount Tire. We just reused the stock TPMS sensors (I separated the stock wheels from the tires for resale). Discount Tires had the lug nuts in stock so that's what we used. I think they charged me ~$60 for them.
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I have. The odd thing is finding this part number for sale isn't straightforward, for example it seems Amazon carries the lug nuts, but only in a 5 lug set (20 total), not the 6 lug set.
First, thank you for the kind words.
I actually would have probably preferred the 25mm offset if it had been an option in the wheel I chose, mainly because that would have made the tires perfectly flush with the side steps. TBH though I think either is going to look good. 10mm is ~3/8in, which although probably noticeable, isn't a huge difference.
You're a mad dog! These threads are awesome. Thanks for all the useful write ups and photos. I wish I was as handy with my truck. Practice makes perfect I suppose. Keep 'em comin'!First, thank you for the kind words.
We always want what we don't have!
I have been doing other things to the truck and have been remiss in not posting links on this thread so here are some more items.
I installed an aftermarket "heritage" grill and a power distribution box. Link here...
I installed Dobinson springs on the rear. Love them! This is a long thread with lots of good content if you're considering carrying permanent weight on the rear. Link here...
Currently sitting in my shop is a CBI Super Sport Covert front bumper and HF winch. I'll post how that goes when I get around to the installation. As part of that I intend to replace the junk light bar from the heritage grill with a Diode Dynamics 18" light bar. It's going to take some modification of the grill so we'll see if I can pull it off. The weather has been cold here in Western Washington (for us) but we're supposed to be back to normal rain next week so hopefully I can find time to get the install done.
