Devil Dog Runner

[*** YELLER ***]

my bags are sealed in a bag and then going into my roof bag to keep everything clean, probably keep the tent and sleeping bags on the roof and the camping equipment, tools and ice cheast in the runner to keep the weight low but not overload the cab ..... ya herd

I might just throw my stuff in trash bags

ya know they make ZIP LOCK bags that are big and strong enough for sleeping bags right and they werk great, i think i have 1 left from the 2 (lost one) i started with ... Wally Werld

I actually have somehing like that. I'm not down with putting my sleeping bags up there to get bombarded with dust tho. Maybe the porta potty, easy access for when nature calls

Just be sure to clean the   real good so you don't get any   stains on yer roof!

space bags? We have some of those. But they make the stuff inside smell Luke plastic really bad and I can't take it, had to wash a pillow case twice because the smell made me nauseous.

our ZIP LOCK bags didnt smell at all, were yers ZIP LOCK brand if nothing else wash them out real good and let them air dry fer a couple days

Good idea keeping the light stuff up high.  I plan on something similar when I one day get an exo. 

I will be using some of these for bags.  Yes, stupid expensive, but very rugged and water proof.

The pivot blocks you have in the back....are you sure they are ok with being streeted and not just an "offroad only" sorta thing? In terms of on road handling?

to be honest NO but I have driven Kyles truck at 70 down the road with 15 lbs of air and it was fine, so
 
now I get the weight differance but this was with his truck fully loaded coming back from MCR 07 or what ever year it was and it drove fine down the road

   Maybe you should swap springs from Mini's rig....

if you are worried about body roll why not do a custom disconnect-able sway bar???

what did you have in mind that was discussed in another thread but the cost would be the problem,  I can + or - leafs all day it just takes time

[Shamb]

what kind of shocks are you running?  you sure your shocks aren't blown out or something?


Phat Biatch (yea that's his username)  just built a 1st gen PU and it had ALOT of body roll but once he put the new bilsteins on it road like a dream. We cruised down to Fresno and back yesterday without any issues. Drove like a dream.
