That could prove useful...
I got three deer with my 97 dakota, after the first one I bought a steel bumper with grill guard, and the last two didn't do any damage. Here in MT the Deer, Elk, and antelope out number the humans by 3 to 1.

Loaded with motorcycles and heading south, just in time for another winter storm to roll in...

Those colors are Sharp! I had a sidewinder step rail on my last truck, the ****** thing didn't do well in snowy country. it would get frozen muck on it and was treacherous! wondering if you have the same issue? And yes, I am jealous of the upcoming bike ride! My brother in law, and I plan to do as much of the eastern T.A.T. as we can in two weeks, minus driving time to/from.

That's not an all bad thing, when they're not cutting you off on the road that is...

I'm getting rid of them this spring.
They work OK but after 5 years they are rusting terribly...
Makes my truck look like crap.

I mean, "work" I guess. It does give the rear some squat when loaded.

are you required to put those one by's ontop, or did you just have a long way todrive to dump the load?
I'd rather have something over it. "Unsecured load" is frowned upon, and for good reason I suppose. I do stamp it down tight, so it probably wouldn't put up much fight if the wind got under a piece the right way. I have had a couple close calls in the past, so unless it's something like 80lb bundles of shingles, I don't haul much these days without something holding it.

It will be travelling a fair distance, not to mention going to work with me for two weeks. :oops: it's still aboard the truck. Was supposed to get rid of it last weekend, but weather interfered.
