Congrats on the new truck.
If I knew how to build and weld, i'd be designing tons of stuff that an 80 would need in terms of storage and all. Ive seen some carriers before, but not sure if they are being made any more. My tools are all over in that bag, i think down the road im going to get one of those 180 pc tool sets and keeo that exclusively for the 80, in case i need em. Im trying not to add too much though as i like to have the room if i need it, as this is my only big truck. My daily driver Buick park ave trunk is huge, but not big enough.Your rear cargo looks a lot like mine. I have the spare strapped down but with a 10K strap and my tools are in their bags.
I really need to design a drawer system for the rear cargo area.
So due to circumstances that I couldnt control, I am back in NY. The 80 is being shipped from Tucson this Saturday! Looking forward to hitting the trails in PA! Just need to make sure everything is rust proofed!
Someone had slashed all 4 tires on the 80 while i was out hiking, and given I have had past problems with an ex-girlfriend, I am pretty sure it was her. She was crazy. There was no evidence at the site to prove so, but having dealt with a prior, similar problem almost 2 years ago, there is no doubt in my mind as to who did it. Don't want to deal with her sh!t, so i moved. It is for the best though. Sorry for the long story!Remind us again why? It was a crime committed against you that forced the move?

Cant wait till my 80 comes home. Looking to pick up a job in the next week or so, so i can start working on it! Got a garage and plenty of space for it. Clearance might be an issue, but we'll see!
Or just get a winter beater. If you want your truck to last, even with coatings/etc. the rust will still get to it.Welcome to the Northeast. Get your rig rust proofed before winter for sure. I know that NH has a place called The Rust Stop that does good work...

I must have missed where you made the switch, but how do you like the Ironmans?? They don't make the "official TLC size", but they look effective none the less. How's the on-road ride after a few thousand miles of ownership? Everyone I've talked to that has them is quite satisfied with them. Haven't gotten any snow performance reports tho :\
