Usethe2nds ACLB build. Currently: Building sliders

Ya, I had to look at a few different pages and compare them before I finally cut into it. Glad you got it figured out

Triple tapped that

 

Is the bed rack just sitting on the bed sides, or is it fastened down some how?

 

Right now I have it tied down with some ratchet straps while I wait on my T-slot nuts to ship from Armortech offroad. I hope they pull through with the unicorn that I requested to be drawn in the box

 

Armortech rules



And the artwork

 

Got a decent start on some jerry can holders today during break. I had some old bracketry laying around the house that I cut up to make the bottom mounting plates. Each one will have a drop bracket coming down from the cargo rails where they will attach, one will be on the passenger side and the other on the drivers side.

 

If anyone has a good source on some new metal jerry cans let me know

The one I'm using as a template is on its last legs

 

Drivers side is mostly done

Waiting on some hinges/metal and going to finish the passenger side when I get a chance

 

Both of them mounted, I might end up using ratchet straps to hold them down. One less thing to rattle

 

Well I decided to save 2 of the 6 jerry cans I had laying around the farm, bead blasting and then I'll be reprinting them. Now I need to figure out what color they'll end up

 

Cool Jerry can mounts and rack man. Interested to see how this turns out.

 

Ended up going the ratchet strap hold down route, I cut the eyelets and welded them onto the holder.

Now I just have to paint my cans and get some new gaskets

 

This is my idea for a hi-lift mount, whether it works or not only time will tell. I got two 1 3/4" exhaust clamps from the local parts store and drilled a 7/16 hole through the center to slide a bolt through. I ground down to flats and the head of the bolt to slide in between the clamp faces. I'll end up welding the bolt inside of the clamp the the clamp to the bed rack

 

Got the hi lift mounted and hanger welded on

Now it's just a little more grinding/prep work and then I'll be ready for the herculiner

 

Truck looks awkward without my bedrack on, it's the first time I've had it off since the install.

Hopefully I'll have it back on tonight or tomorrow

 

FYI Herculiner is a huge pain in the ass, not because of the prep work or the application, but it's damn near impossible to get off your skin. I gloved up and everything but the splatters got me. Forgot to snap a picture of it finished, I'll grab one tomorrow once it's cured

 

Lol

 

I have another coat that needs to be put on, I think I have Sean convinced to do it tomorrow...should probably compensate him with beers for his pain and suffering. I also need to buy my gf a new loofa, hers is now trashed with herculiner.

 

Dipped outta work early to put the 3rd and final coat on
