You can bring whatever, sxs, atv, even other brands. It's just a good time with like minded people that we talk to on a regular basis. You'd have a blast.
That's a great story about Jack, your Dad sounds like a character. I don't know what the shipping would be but if you cover that you can have them for free. Worth it just for that story alone.

@trigger ......... @BrotherofJack if I can save you a buck or two in any way by picking them up at TO let me know. If shipping is cheaper from my end then I don't mind. Or we can meet up on my way down.... 🤷♂️You can bring whatever, sxs, atv, even other brands. It's just a good time with like minded people that we talk to on a regular basis. You'd have a blast.

Sounds awesome @trigger, and I definitely appreciate that. If you can figure out how to package them and get a shipping quote I'll gladly cover that and a little extra for your time. I'll send a DM with my zip and we can figure out paypal or however you'd prefer I pay.You can bring whatever, sxs, atv, even other brands.

@JenElio I certainly appreciate the offer, but my schedule is way too hectic lately to guarantee I'm even available as you pass back through this part of the state (I'm only about a half hour from Croom and still haven't had the time to make it out there 🤦♂️). That and I wanted to throw trigger a couple bucks extra anyway. Thank you though!

You got it buddy 👍 that's what we're here for. When we both get some time we'll have to meet up for a FL ride. I rode with some members last year up in Apalachicola it was a good time 👍

Yea I'd definitely be up for something like that 👍

Soon after purchase I replaced stock tires with ITP Mud Lite XTR 25" because they were same width (or slightly narrower) than stock tires but actually closer to 26" than 25". So my 520 remains original width, 50". The 2012 Tundra's wheel-well to wheel-well width is 50", so no, 54" would not drive fully into bed without rolling up over the wheel-wells and I didn't want that.
I use my 520 mostly as a tool, e.g. a tractor for hunting property food plot work, and very seldom (or never) really play with it like many on this forum do. My needs are pretty tame but the 520 has been great at everything I've asked of it.

No, I'm pretty certain it wouldn't have any significant affect on the truck, not other than some scarring/wearing of the bedliner spray. Equally important, several on here have stated that the 520's front wheels have enough play to handle tilting inward to pass between the wheel-wells and I'm confident that's true. But 4" is more than I'd want to put it through as regularly as I load and unload mine.
FWIW, before the 520 was introduced I'd thought about going with the small Ranger model and think its width is 54". I was looking at possibly building, or better yet getting someone competent to build, a pair of ramps to fit between the wheel-wells and front of bed. That way, the 520 would drive up over the wheel-wells and onto the ramps for hauling. Obviously that means it'd be positioned at an upward angle. Not ideal (to my way of thinking) but certainly doable and not a safety issue when strapped in properly.
Don't know if this helps but I suspect you can get a good deal of feedback and various ideas if you post a new message about your specific situation.

My first pioneer 500 I picked up in Kentucky in my supercrew F150 with a 5.5” bed. I removed the front bumper and put it in the bed facing forwards on top of 2x12s. Drove it home 400 miles or so that way to Michigan. My rear end was puckered the entire way. Made it fine though. I had it strapped down very well but still the back tires were on the very edge of the tailgate.
