I wore the tread down to nothing... few to many long road trips on'em... then I traded them for these grapplers..... I liked them a lot but these ride on the street a lot better

Lol. I bet. Longest trip on mine has been 300 miles. I've also only got 3,000 miles on mine in 5 years so they will dry rot before I wear them down.

The fuel door took a bit to get just right, but other than that it was pretty easy to put the new bedsides on.
the hard part was to take the original beds sides off
