nice photos, beautiful scenery.

The rollover must have been caused by the evil DPF

if mine fit like the ones on the red truck, I wouldn’t hesitate to install them. I prefer that look, because they only go the length of the glass, rather than the entire door.

Rodney, I will be buying a new Weigh Safe within the next couple of months, but will be using my 2.5” with the sleeve in the meantime. Great pics!

Hmm, maybe I was confused as to what you meant. These are stick-on, and they do extend into the B-pillar just a bit. Mine are made by AVS.

Rodney, some time will need to be spent making the General look showroom again. What a nice rig, though! Makes the Ranger look a bit...plebeian.

Tyler, General washed and dried. RV washed outside and detailed inside. I just rotated the truck tires and it is about to get vacuumed and washed. Almost back to pre trip condition all around.

Hey, let's not get nasty. I prefer utilitarian. Sporty just doesn't work once someone has seen a RZR or a General.

I like utility too. This is why I went with a General and not a RZR. RZR was pure sport and couldn't do the work I wanted. Well, maybe it could but that's not what it was designed for. The Ranger was just utility and wasn't as much fun on the trail. Although, once again, I saw more Rangers up on this trip to St. Agatha than any other machine so they perform well in that regard too. There is one for everyone and I like that. For me, I wanted a great trail riding machine that can do the utility work too. So far, I'm very pleased with how the General can do both equally well.

Wow, I will say you are efficient. That would not have happened for me yet.

Nasty...sorry, lol. I've ridden in a couple of Rangers...a 570 and a 900. Both great rigs, would love to have one someday. The General just seems so fancy.

These are also peel and stick, as I don’t care for the friction fit that go inside the window channel. Although not on the truck - for obvious reasons, the picture should give an idea of how they would look on the truck. They basically butt up on the B pillar.

Yeah, I don't care for that either. Try the AVS like mine then!

There was an enormous excavator that had just arrived on scene to attempt to flip it back Tim. The "show" along with patrol closing the right lane caused a couple mile traffic back up. Not too bad since we were still far north with little traffic to begin with.
