Hey there, some considerations 1:50min. Your TQ's wont be there anymore after a rollover. Mb you should get a sun visor rig and attach them there. Along with a Seatbelt cutter/rescue tool also mb Flashlight/Chemlight for some illumination within the cabin in case of emergency. - Secure your dogs with a harnest that interlocks to the seatbelt. because on a crash the will be hurled around the car just like you will. You don't want injured dogs. (in general don't have anything loose in your cabin because everything loose becomes a projectile in a crash.)
Absolutely right, worst case scenario roll over will send everything flying around. Attachment points are great to ensure they stay put and are in the works. As for lights inside the cab I always keep a head lamp and thin LED work light in the center console to use. Dog harnesses are a solid idea, I'll keep that in mind.
From personal experience I would suggest mounting another fire extinguisher inside the truck within arms reach. You’d be shocked how quickly your engine compartment can go up in flames. The extra seconds it takes you to get to the back of the truck and retrieve your extinguisher could be the difference between a minor repair and a total loss. It’s smart to learn from your own mistakes, but it’s wise to learn from another man’s.
Might want to secure that first aid so that it doesn't become "lost" in a major accident. Anything not bolted down or secured, good, WILL end up exactly where you can't reach it after an accident. And if your windows are down or shatter during that accident, all the stuff WILL become a yard sale all over the road when you vehicle comes to rest. That's just how accidents go.
You better secure that first aid and TQ otherwise in a serious accident they will fly into who knows where. In a pouch mounted to the passenger headrest is a pretty handy spot. How are the bins in the bed secured? Again, shit moves.
Good point, the headrest is a solid place to mount them. While overseas we would mount them there or to molle panels on the doors interior. The bins have the cover folded down over them and arranged to not shift as much as possible when its closed.
I've seen roll overs, good luck finding anything boss especially after those 2 big azz dogs beat you half to death after flopping around. wasp spray is better than mace or pepper.
Generally people buy them as an investment for work, rich people drive luxury cars. So work harder, you can own one too. And personally I stick with SRW, I like buying 4 tires, not 6 lol
@@Northwoods208Agreed, unless you have money enough to be stupid with they aren’t worth unless you are towing regularly and decently heavy. You also lose mpgs and ride quality along with higher maintenance costs in general.
I have a Ram 3500 dually I live remotely in those Duallys really suck in the mud, I swapped them out to single aluminum wheels, with acorn nuts, and believe it or not a single aluminum wheel has a higher weight rating than the factory steel wheels together, I found some Iron Man Mud terrain tires, heavy load range sort of like a super single in a 315 75 same with the weight rating on those big tires the single big tire is able to hold a heavier load than the two Factory dual tires together. and now I just skim right on top of the mud. if I was going to be in the market for another one I just try to find one that was 10 or 15 years old, let someone else take the hit on depreciation.
Ill start making more dually videos, I have some upgrades coming in the next month or two. It is an expensive investment, but worth it for me. I use it for for towing my race car, boats, or campers along daily driving. When you put them on a diet, the 6.7 cummins respond very well with MPG and power, I had a crew cab Duramax LLY prior that did even better economy-wise, but would struggle with some of the heavier tows on long distance through the mountains. I have no regrets going with a dually over SRW for what I do with it. I dont know what higher maintenance costs @northwoods208 is talking about besides an extra set of tires (which keeping stock sizes arent bad) Also the ride quality is nothing to complain about at all. For mud, yes they arent desirable, but I havent had an issue in wet grass pastures even with a decent slope. All about knowing your vehicles capabilities. I have a newer lifted 4runner setup for anything actually muddy or on the trails.
