RE: Bike Rack Questions-- Again

I carry our bikes on a pin box mount that I made and purchased a bike rack to slide in it. Here is what I did. You can make them fit either a long or short bed.

RE: Firestone Airbags 2013 Silverado

Congrats on joining the "bagger club" as one member here calls those of us that use air bags. I really believe you will love them. I know I won't ever tow heavy again without them. Let us know how you like them after the install and first tow.

RE: Firestone Airbags 2013 Silverado

It can be done by yourself. Just a little easier if you have someone hold the bags/brackets while positioning. A significant other can be of great use, that is if they are allowed under the vehicles:B:W

RE: China Bombs Got Me

At the Atlanta RV show this spring, I had a conversation with both a Keystone and Forest River rep concerning tires, and they both told me the same thing. Both said that they couldn't get a tire manufacturer(GoodYear, Michelin etc.) to guarantee them a certain number of tires each year due to the number of rigs they build. They stated that they wanted an OEM name brand tire, but that couldn't be done due to no tire company wanting to commit to that large number of tires. I still think that may be a load of crap, but they will charge you an upgrade fee and put on whatever tire you want if you order it that way. I call BS. I still think they buy what covers the weight at the cheapest price, which we all know what type tires those are.

RE: NC Haulers new ride

That is one beautiful truck! Although I've never owned a Dodge, they are now on my radar. As a Chevy only owner until my Excursion 7.3, then a Ford F350 dually, I never liked the rear fenders on the Dodges. Well, lo and behold Ford went with that type fender on the new ones and Dodge went with a BIG BOY set up and made a real side on theirs. Just thinking out loud, but if I had just won that $600 million Power Ball, I'd have one of each of the Big 3!!!:B Congrats on the truck, she sure is pretty!

RE: Firestone Airbags 2013 Silverado

going the same way with no bells and whistles on our 2007 to level the truck camper.
anyone recommend the cheapest place to get Firestone bags? would like to get in the next few days.
we are itching to go after rebuilding the roof :)
There are many places out there that sell them, and occasionally have sale prices. Here are a few examples: Jegs.com, truckaddons.com, sdtrucksprings.com, etrailer.com, summitracing.com, and you can even try Ebay after going hereFirestone Info site to find out which set is for you. I strongly recommend a "No Drill" kit.

RE: Need dealer in Atlanta who knows Ram CTDs

There is a really good Cummins dealer that has very good techs but it is not in Atlanta. Just a little bit NE of there though. Ed Murdock in Lavonia. Also, Akins Ford Chrysler Dodge in Winder has a really good Cummins tech.

RE: Firestone air lift ??

Firestone makes "no-drill" kits for most every truck. Even those with in bed hitches and for ones without. Check out their website here Ride-Rites
You may even have to call them or a dealer to make sure before ordering.

RE: B&W Companion Hitch Front to Back Adjustment

I have my B&W Companion set all the way back and at the highest setting. And I have a long bed. I did not notice any difference in any of the setting I've had the hitch in as far as backing. I now keep it rearward so I can open my toolbox(to get to fire extinguisher) while carrying out bikes.

RE: Replacement tires 20 inch

Nitto makes a decent 20" tire. My camping buddy put them on his F250 about 3 months ago and is happy with them. Take a look at their website.

RE: Anyone care to place their bet?

By then, it will strictly be preference as to whether you like a bowtie, horns or a blue oval. They will all do anything we as campers request, just one may do it with a little more finesse than the others.:B But, I want to be one of the first to read/watch the shootout!!!! While eating popcorn:B

RE: More Wiper Blade Questions

Costco has Goodyear Assurance blades for $8ea, sometimes buy one get one free. I have little reason to use anything else. They work as well as anything else I have used in 20 years of driving.

RE: sandpiper

We love the 365. It has everything those of us with kids need. Seperate rooms, bath and a half, large bunk room and we love our outside kitchen.

RE: sandpiper

Typical of ANY manufacturer. Some rigs have issues, others don't. That's why you can't put too much stock in the complaints you read on a forum. A large majority of posters only end up in the forum to find a solution to a problem. Glad to hear you haven't had any issues with your rig. My philosophy - "camp more, worry less."
Well said! 2 Sandpipers in 3 years. Both great.
