I'll watch for deals. I did save a few of my last set for a matching spare if your interested. I think all the spares are 18s, which is what I got.

I’ll probably wait until next fall unless a huge deal comes along. We’re at the end of winter and I know they’ll be fine for the summer.

I'm enjoying these wildpeak at3w's that i put on the jeep. Stock tires on my truck are useless, i see why people get 60k out out of them they are hard as hell. Im to cheap to replace a tire with only 16k on them, guess i need to start doing burnouts so they wear faster lol.

I'm on the fence, it's so close to spring and they are good I'll probably let it go. If it were closer to early winter I would take off and sell the originals. Oh well, it'll give me something to spend money on next fall.....

I did order one of these Peragon bed covers yesterday. Anybody seen these before, looks like a cool idea. Not sue to ship until the 27th....

yep, it came down to the peragon and the revolver x4. Only reason i didn't go peragon is i normally have crap at the head of the bed when camping so I would have issues opening it. Their CS seems to be top notch as does the quality.

It seems to be a cool concept, I really wanted something that I could see the fifthwheel when hooking up, the folding covers always seem to be in the way of that......even when having the center high mount camera....

I think I am just going to cut out the bed liner also. The truck came with a bedrug liner, so I should be able to cut out around the goose neck section if I ever want to just haul a gooseneck, then I'll cut out a bigger section when the fifthwheel and adapter is in place for the Curt hitch. Should be cool if it turns out the way I have if pictured in my head.....

I take it you have factory prep? On my body style guys have been cutting just the hole open, still room to drop the hitch in with most bed mats.

No, I do not have that. It's pretty much got everything but that. I am going with the B&W gooseneck, then I'll add the B&W companion sliding fifthwheel hitch.

On that note I do have a brand new Curt Q20 sliding fifthwheel hitch that drops onto industry standard rails if someone knows someone looking. I'll be listing it on craigslist this afternoon, these retail from $1250-1600, I'll take $900 for mine, I think it was hooked to a trailer one time.

Have you considered installed the factory fifth wheel subframe and just using an adapter?

Cannot get that from anyone for my truck. Ford tells me they can only sell it when ordering. The kits are available for your truck, but not the new body. Beside this will only be one hole in the box instead of 5. The big plus is the companion hitch from B&W it pretty much the best hitch out there in my opinion, extremely heavy duty.

Huh. I thought you could retrofit the fifth wheel subframe. The B&W is a great hitch though.
Have you guys had any issues installing the universal rails on the Alumaduty? My buddies step dad (a dodge fanboy) who's an RV tech said his dealership was seeing the beds were collapsing under the rails. My B.S. detector was going off, I suspect their guy was not installing them correctly.

We had only done a couple, they make a no drill side plate that fits nice. I just don’t want rails in this truck. Honestly we have installed more b&w in the new ones over anything else.

Dont get me wrong, if I could get the real Reese elite underbed Mount I would in a heartbeat....

They likely were installing the generic L brackets, those are easier to screw up.
The B&W would be my first choice outside of the factory setup as well.
