Prior to leaving, I had installed Firestone airbags and made my tie downs front and back based on Torklift T2305 and T3304 (they call me frugal, James Frugal...) So, basing this on our previous rig (92 chev longbox extended with import 7 foot camper 1289# and airbags), the new setup rode like a dream over wobbly forestry roads and steep hills. Way more stable, more than enough power (I was almost aroused how it performed going up hills) and did I say stable? Yes I know someone is going to dig out their calculator and state that I am over weight by x number of kg but based on how this performs - I know there is not going to be any problems. If she snaps in half - oh well - the main point is that we are out there camping and a crappy day of fishing far out ranks a good day of calculating GVWR's...
If someone lets me know how to post pics, I'll stick a few up.
