Neat shot. I'm sure you've heard this before, but the red lettering on the tires is cool.

Surely the truck was confused with the darker surface material called "dirt"...
The dirt was mean.
It bent my rocker panel when the step bottomed out on a peak.
I bent it back.

Ditch the steps.

I need to. Quite honestly, I don't even notice they are there until someone mentions them. I've never really cared for them, but never really took the time to remove them...
The unfortunate part is that the rockers are fiberglass patched, and it goes right over top of the step mounts lol.

2x6 fixes everything
We can make this happen during dunefest cuz rich's truck won't be in the shop the whole time..lol
And wait there's more!
The 2x6 will stiffen it all up even more. And it will give you a base to put stringers to the frame when you attach everything solidly

What tire pressure you running? I tried 20 psi and it seemed to work decent on ethel.

For crawling, or general driving?

Not worse than solid/comp engine mounts
I think I was at like 18.
That reminds me. I should get my CO2 tank filled before dune party...

What size of tire are you running? I found I could deflate the back tires a whole lot further than the front ones (before they started looking sad). With stock 235/75R15 tires I ran 16psi in the back and 25 in the front.
Should have some new numbers for you soon, too.
My cage is mounted to the floor with Kerts staked cage plates. With poly mounts on the lower plate, with kickers to the frame.
Do you even notice a difference at 20 psi?
There is a lot more traction to be gained by dropping lower.
