Just drive it, be reasonable. 7100 lbs of momentum does not stop as easily as a lighter weight vehicle. For whatever the reason when you rear end the vehicle directly ahead of you, your it. Cop doesn't care one wit what your reasoning was. People do all kinds of stupid stuff in traffic...

Watching your transformation/evolution of your truck in this thread was fun. Where did you learn your craft? It is impressive! Well done and done right.

I don't know that you can. My experience is the TPMS are set to warn when the tire pressure goes below a preset factory level. I personally despise TPMS.

Eventually the weight will knock the tailgate latches out of adjustment if you load heavy and often. It will force you to slam the tailgate harder and harder as time goes on. Worst case is the latches fail and turn your pick up into a dump truck. A couple sheets of plywood, sheet goods at a...

Janitorial supply places will have some more powerful stuff to use if still not getting where you want to be. Restoration companies like ServPro can steer you in the right direction if you have access to them or one like them in your area. Definitely change the cabin filter as mentioned above...

Put a couple of open containers of baking soda in the back on the floor overnight when you park it. It will help absorb the smell, then get rid of the baking soda each night.

A good body shop will clean it up for you. Paint matching technology these days is remarkable. Your year old truck won't have too much sun damage by the sounds of it. Hopefully Burger King will have better luck with the operator learning a new career. Sorry to hear of your mishap. None of...

Some places treat gravel roads with "tree sap" to keep the dust down. That is what it looks like to me from my past experience with the gunk.

SD Rebel GENIUS walking around! Never thought of that! I like it. Pretty easy on this truck honestly, leave the oil cap on tight during the initial drain, and the oil doesn't splash much on the sway bar.

The load limit will be about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Not all the limits will be the same. Variance is because of the difference in models and how they are equipped. My quad is load rated not to exceed 771KG of 1701 lbs. Yours will be a little lighter because it is a Limited, crew...

To the OP, respectfully By now you have learned more than you bargained for. I spent a couple of summers working in a cement batch plant in my college days. Handled a lot of material with an end loader. For your reference, 1 yard of sand weighs around 3000lbs, gravel 2700lbs, black dirt...

Can you find a lighter trailer to haul the jeep on? You are at the upper max for what you can do with a 1500. I would scale it out before you start back to make sure you are not over limits. Being overloaded is not a place you want to be. What about having the jeep shipped to you by a car...

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s gets high marks. You may want to consider the physical weight of the tire. Michelin defenders are another choice if you do not go off road much, they won't handle mud as well as an AT tire. I'm in the same quandary as you.

You got it! Looks good.

I've been having fun following along with this thread. I live in the midwest and have ridden both coasts several times as well as along the Gulf shores all on Harley's. I don't ride like you do anymore, I know better, my ole body would just raise all kinds of hell with me. Crossed Death...

Keep an eye on the rubber feet on the stand offs on the underside. One of mine fell off and I didn't recognize what it was. I took the cover off to get it out of the way and when I put it back in I knew what it was. Fortunately all the scuff marks were on the landing pad. Got another set of...

Welcome Don't sweat driving it. You get plenty of times in it when the fuel and def tanks are empty.

What have you been using to pull the horse trailer and horses with now? Dirt turns to mud when it rains. Wet grass can be just as nasty as snow and ice. In the times when you have to get out fast, I would rather have the option of an extra drive axel, even if it wasn't needed. I drive in 2x...

Lots of sound good advice and tips here from people who obviously know what they are talking about. Some things I didn't see mentioned. Surface temp and humidity play into the final outcome to some extent, depending on the products you are using. Lift the hood to dissipate the engine heat and...

That looks like a fabricater/designer that took on a challenge. I always respect the build, skill and effort it takes to get to the finish line. GOOD ON THEM!
