The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

I'm guessing you could make yourself some fairly easily.

Whip out that Oxy-Acetylene welding outfit your dad used to cut up that 1/4" stuff and make yourself some.

 

Yea could do that I guess. I think I'm going to go pick up some material for my front skid so ill ask how much it costs.


Also.



I missed it by a day, but today is a good day for it.

Last year and a day ago..I rolled my truck. It's been quite the journey to get it back but it's alive and well as you all know. I'd like to thank you all for your encouragement and help through the last year. Has been immensely helpful to me and helped me get through the rebuild.

And also 11 months and 29 days ago..my grandma also passed away. God bless you grandma and thank you for your love through the years. We all miss you.




Okay back to build

 

RIP G-MaDawg

 

+1

 

haha thanks guys.

 

Nice welds buddy! Stick or wire?

 

just wire. I only have access to a Eastwood 185 MIG. Works great tho. Id really like to try stick and TIG tho..

 

hmmm..

 

Go on

 

What is it? haha I don't know this shit.

 

An awning! Like a roll out roof from the truck for shade. Also has screen walls.

 

I see. I was thinking an annex or something but kind of doubted it since the tent came with the annex. haha

 

Well..it sorta is..it's an extra room. Just no tent haha

I'm trying to decide if I want it out the back of my truck or off the roof rack to the side

 

I'd say out the back.

 

x2, then you have a built in bench to sit on/work on in the shade/rain

 

I know what an awning is. haha.

I would try both out and see what works better. I am thinking off the side though.

 

Exactly. And cook under mainly.

My dad and I decided to do both. Haha setup brackets for it on the roof rack and out back. Then I can switch when needed. Or ill buy a second one.

 

The reason I say off the back is because then you'd have the annex diagonal from the awning as well as the tailgate as a table/work bench.

If the awning was on the side, you'd have the annex all the way on the opposite side.

Edit* Just buy a second one!

 

Well it would be off the drivers side just like my annex. So they would be right next to each other.

And considering I didn't pay anything for this one don't see why I can't haha
