One of my biggest Internet/forum pet peeves.

Agreed, I was always do my best to close my loops when I have questions. I know I appreciate it when I can find the answers in other posts. Too bad people are slowly migrating away from forums and onto facespace/social media. The amount of info contained in this forum and other ones is crazy...
And they turn into pirates too
Installed a rack on the truck last night for the canoe we're bringing camping this weekend. I'll see if I can't flex this bitch out with a canoe on it for the 2018 CK5 calendar.
and I received some BB pics from Pat & Matt

I need to build a canoe rack. Been hauling it in the 2008 pickup but just using the rubber blocks under the front end and a wood post across the bed rails so we can still open the tailgate. That f-ing thing won't stay strapped down. Broke the cab brake light once plus scratched up the roof. I've decided some sort of rack is the best way to do it.
I was going to make something, had the square tube in the garage to do it but after some google-fu I found a lot of people use the HF ladder rack. It's rated for 250 lbs, the canoe weighs around 70, I'll let ya know how it holds up bouncing down the trail.
I built a rack for the blazer and to solve the strap down problem I built in a way to clamp the canoe to the rack (actually I ran bolts through the lip on the canoe). Way better than strapping to anything.
Hell, I almost lost the canoe hauling it home in the crew cab. Damn thing sure has fought me.
we've never had a problem strapping it to the cage and he drives this rig like he stole it down fire roads.
That's a great pic.
Do you have any more pictures of how you have your fuel filler ran? I saw the one picture where it is popping up the bedside but didn't know if you ever did anything else with it. Same with the vent
It just s straight piece of fuel filler hose off the tank into a 90 stainless bend through the bed. The breather hose is just a piece of 5/8" (IIRC) zip tied to it. I'll snap a pic tonight.
Ok. I'm to that point on mine now and need to figure out a plan
Off for an adventure
I love this truck.

Agreed
Its one of my favorites too. I just dont like the tube door look. I want to make a set like this for my blazer.
Hey, that guy has got a boat
