Thought I'd submit this because I'm off today due to rain. I just got my Coopers installed yesterday and sold the original Bridgestones 15 minutes later. Next week, . . . windows get tinted and cb radio package coming from Right Channel Radios.

Yup. I appreciate these more than ever after hauling a bunch of stuff to the desert.

I did not get the windoors with my topper due to how high the bedsides are on these trucks. How tall are you? Can you actually reach in and get things out easily? For me it didn't seem like it would make much of a difference.

5’10, I put all my camping stuff/more needed items that are needed for quick off loading I can reach in and grab to set up quickly. Things like food bags, toiletries bag, ammo and gun bags. Also helps that I have a camper bed I built I place things on top of.

No, they are 265/70/17's.
Man I'm so conflicted. Maybe its the tire manufacturer. Sometimes 265/70/17's look like an upgrade over stock and other times they don't look any larger. I read the whole thread on 265/70/17s and felt the same way. Hard to tell sometimes.

Ah that platform probably helps a ton. I'm planning on building something similar as well maybe I should have got the windoors after all.

I understand what you mean, they don't look much different than stock, but they are just slightly. I'm not putting a lift on the truck, so this is about as far as I can go I believe without rubbing when I go around turns.

Got my windows tinted and recently installed my Husky mud flaps. (Not real impressed with how they are mounted, so I used some self tappers to make them much more secure). CB package came from Right Channel Radios. Tuned it up, and works well. They shipped it awfully fast. Very happy with them.

In the end, I am sure you will get used to your setup and just place easy to grab things towards the rear windshield on the camper. Essentially the same thing, I am sure your camper will be just dandy without them :) Just an added luxury type accessibility.

Windows look good. I did mine 45% because at night I suffer from CSS (can't see $h!t). With this heat I'm thinking about getting the 70-80% tint on the windshield to block the EV rays.

I had an adult ride in the back seat for the first time an it wasn't pretty. 20 minutes each way to see a band. This might happen once a year.

2021 SuperCab XL 4x4 in Velocity Blue w/STX Appearance Package (w STX Special Edition 18" alloy wheels w/ machined edges). I wanted the SuperCab because of the longer bed, and I like the proportions better. All the kids are grown, so people hauling is only once in a while, and we have Mom's car for passenger travel when it's more than me and the wife. She loves the truck too. Says she feels secure and comfortable in it.

I wasn't going to get the 4x4, but the dealer had this one in stock the day I rolled in to look. (SOLD!!!) I really love the blue, Added Westin HDX Drop Steps and WeatherTech Stone / Bug Deflector. I think the deflector detracts from the appearance a bit, but the roads here are ALWAYS under construction, and the bugs are filled with paint stripper (literally). Got the steps to accommodate my second half (she's really short, and not as agile as she once was), but I like the looks and they are very well made. I'm getting a rigid rolling tonneau cover (Truxedo Sentry CT) but it hasn/t arrived yet.

Thanks. I wanted 35% tint, but when I went to get the truck, they told me it was 30% tint. They apparently didn't have 35% so they went a shade darker. You can't see it in the pic, but I have a strip of 5% tint going across the top of the windshield that goes just under the mirror mount in the center of the windshield. I think it's about a 6" strip.
