Hey everyone. I’m interested in getting a new rack for my truck to haul heavier duty material such as the image I’ve attached. I have a cap on my bed that I’d like to keep. Is there a rack anyone can recommend that I can use with my current cap if I take off the aluminum tube rack I have on it now?

Images below are the rack style I’d like and my current set up.

Thanks.

Lifted F350 on 40’s and I have a full size spare. It occurred to me the stock jack won’t work. What am I supposed to use? Thanks all.

This old beast resides alongside the Boulder Creek Trail outside of Boulder, CO.

I have a 2003 GMC Yukon and right above the driver's seat (on the ceiling) is a little fan that never shuts off, which I was told was part of the automatic climate control system. Well, the one in my truck makes a horrible racket and is dying a slow death, but I can't find any resource online about what that part is called or where I can get a replacement. I'd be just as happy deleting it entirely too if that's possible without pissing off the truck's computer. If anyone knows how to help me with this I would appreciate it.

Which one of these starters would you pick? Are there any of these brands you hate/ like?

Thank you for your time!

I’m genuinely curious and not trying to make fun of anyone!

It seems to me by looking around and looking at sales data that the most popular trucks are crew cab half ton trucks. This is the case for all 4 of the major manufacturers.

My question is why? The whole point of a truck is to be able to utilize the bed space. But, the cabins of these trucks are larger than the beds!!! Why not just buy a Suburban, Expedition, or Sequoia at that point?

Like I said, people can spend their money how they want, just honestly curious. I see people everyday driving around with empty beds and just 1 person in the cab.

Disclaimer: I own a truck, it’s an extended cab Silverado.

They clear, zero rubbing anywhere, even twisted up.

the clamp for my gator tonneau cover is stuck and unable to be unscrewed which has made it impossible to remove. this has happened before but i dont remember how i fixed it, have you guys had anything similar and have any ideas to get it unstuck??
