I wouldn't be too concerned, if I were you. Common sense costs A LOT more than dampers and graphene, so most of us will have checked those off of our mod lists before we got to the major investment pieces.
Ahhh very true. Sadly I don't think you can even buy common sense now a days!
If I didn't have any, I'd never be able to afford it, not on my budget!Ahhh very true. Sadly I don't think you can even buy common sense now a days!
You add about one more thing to Soupie and you'll be trading for a Peterbilt! All the mods/additions have your cargo capacity down to about 147#'s now.
This was common sense at one point of history. Too late to order it though.
Well, the day after I got the truck, I installed Wet Okole seat covers and found this errant nut! Removing that nut probably offset all the "new" weight, so I'm good!You add about one more thing to Soupie and you'll be trading for a Peterbilt!

Now that you know what Soupie is capable of towing I think it's time to buy him? Her? it? A big trailer with roll off containers. You could offer garbage service to the whole town ?????????? ?.Well, the day after I got the truck, I installed Wet Okole seat covers and found this errant nut!

In reality, I put that nut in a baggie, along with a small bolt I later found, and stuck them in the glove box.
I wonder how much weight I've added? Can't just count "big" things, like the tonneau and side steps because I have lots of little additions. From the missing owner's manual cover, to a stick up vanity mirror, to Start-X and fire extinguishers, to tie-downs and flashlights. I bet all that little stuff that most wouldn't pay attention to add up to many more pounds than one might first think.
I bet you're right, there has to be 600-700 pounds of stuff - adding in a come-along, recovery gear, tire chains, shovel, not to mention Cheech's deluxe rear seat apartment!
Great, thanks to you, I'll obsess about paring some of that down.
First thing? Strip off the Graphene! =D
Shhh, that's my business plan - going to do a coup and overthrow our municipal trash collection.
Your getting off subject. Remember this thread is about towingShhh, that's my business plan - going to do a coup and overthrow our municipal trash collection.
Time to get Big Garbage outta here! (ooh, nice double-entente motto!) =)
Check out this bad boy, this would be so perfect!
Okay, so $33k for that setup with five 12-yard containers. Here in Portsmouth, those would be about $500 to rent. So not a bad business venture!
It would be a good investment. But you can't use the slogan "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your trash back" as it has already been used by another garbage collector.Shhh, that's my business plan - going to do a coup and overthrow our municipal trash collection.

I like that slogan, and I also saw this one which I thought was clever (I'm a simple person):
Is that a Chevy LUV in the bed?I like that slogan, and I also saw this one which I thought was clever (I'm a simple person):
Bin There Dump That!
Start small and dream big ...
I completely forgot about the Chevy LUV! Took a look at Wikipedia to find out they started as Isuzus!
You know I don't mean to....lol. There's just something about the way they drive when you have access to a little power. Obviously they are not a hellcat....lol, but tuned, she be pretty quick for a mid-sized pickup. BTW.....I haven't been issued a speeding ticket in over a year.....that's really good for me!
