for field parties you really need a cap and an air matress. air mattress is like 30 bucks tops from wal mart and look in the local penny saver u can get a cap for like 50 bucks....i got mine for free, my buddy bout a psd from some dealer and the dealer hooked me up with a cap and receiver for free. good deal for me, he drops 28k i drop 5 bucks in fuel and get free stuff. TINT THE WINDOWS OR THE CAP. and make it so u can lock the cap from the inside. i want to hook speakers up in the bed that will come out with the cap. and dont let your friends know the possiblilities. they will try....

Oh i got ya that makes sense. Here in OH there are very few regs on pickup diesels. my buddy had an old 6.2L diesel in a chevy he had straight piped with 2" pipe(cackle queen) anyway he'd get pulled over fairly frequently and could never get a ticket for the truck, because there is no emissions or muffler law on diesels.(not stories, was with him twice gettin pulled over)

Here in NM you get a permanent exemption for Diesel after the initial inspection. They dont even look under the vehicle to see if you have a cat or not! As long as it doesnt smoke you are good to go here. I dont have a cat at all, just straight pipe.
