Colin that tents going to be so much better then sleeping in the truck bed with the top closed!!lol

Truck looks great man!! I'll be watching this thread from now on!!

Agreed.

But he is isn't going to have near the amount of room as he did when he was camping in the back of that u-haul

~Mark

That was the other tan guy with glasses (and his brother) in the Uhaul. I had the 15 passenger van, though.

I was about to say....

 

[Maniak]

Oh yea.. I remember that van now.. it helped move some broken vehicles from the easy sunday run a few years ago.

Double coated semi-gloss black,

Thought you were a flat-black guy?

 

[FROADER]

From the last Truckhaven run, all set up.

Update:

About an hour and a half with some masking tape and Rustoleum "Satin" (to match the bed rack) this afternoon, this is what I came up with.

 

[Stic-o]

Very Nice

I keep think about doing that to mine

 

[FROADER]

Steve, has this happened to you yet?

I was adjusting the tilt wheel and push a little hard and the handle came off! Kind of a weird design that it slides on and doesn't really "click" or "lock" in place.

It is easy to get back on because of this, though.

Also a few more pictures of the whole truck since the wheels were painted.

Now my "to do" list is:

Gears
L/S front (already in rear)
35s (it definitely needs bigger tires)
Bed drawer
Dual battery
Hard wired inverter.
..and a couple others I can't think of right now.

In time for New Years run?

 

[FROADER]

I'd like to, but having no money won't allow it. I'll post something on craigslist for a trade on the tires, but who knows.

Nice work Colin

Has not happen to me yet But I don't adjust mine...it's set to where I want, why adjust

You have the 5.5 bed right? Because my dad has a bed drawer he had built for his SD that he's been wanting to sell. I think his is 6.5 though That thing is ^%*() Heavy though! We need to use a engine hoist to move it in and out.

Thanks, Dave!

I adjusted it to clean, but I guess I won't ever do it again.

I do have the 5.5 and I want to build something custom to fit my needs.

Bored photoshop fun.

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

aww, its cute...

 

[FROADER]

Small update.

Yakima doesn't make mounts that fit around a 1.5" square tube so I made some.
Pretty basic, but that's all I need. Now I'm ready for the season!

 

[RangerX]

You made them, or Winter made them?

 

[FROADER]

Bill, even I can bend up some aluminum and drill some holes. They are even painted flat black. :

 

[RangerX]

Haha, excellent! :roll:

Ruh Roh! You made it look like Char's Scion
