    Tire replacement: All Terrain or Highway?

    Hey Gang, Been a while. I'm replacing the tires on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500, ext. cab, 4WD, Z71. Vehicle has 90,000 miles on it. The heaviest load will be my 2004 Four Wheel Hawk camper. Most driving now is on paved roads, with some state parks and wildlife areas thrown in. Snow not an issue...

    Alternator power to camper, none to camper battery . . .

    Tonneau cover recomendation . . .

    Tonneau cover recommendation . . . Hey, Gang, I've been thinking of putting a roll-up tonneau cover on my truck during the times the 2004 FWC Hawk is on blocks under covered storage. The low profile, inside-the-bedrail covers look nice, but I think the clamp-on rails for the cover would eat...

    SuperSprings?

    On New Year's Day, I mounted a 2004 FWC Hawk (approx. 1100 lbs) on my new 2012 Sierra 1500 ext. cab 4x4 5.3L. It squats the rear end 2 inches and change, and 1 inch on the frontend.

    Using OEM bed tiedown loops...

My 2004 FWC Hawk was mounted on the old truck using four eyebolts installed in the bed floor by the FWC driver when the camper was delivered. It's now going on the new truck. I would like to try to use the OEM tiedown...
