    I'm not sure, you could cut them and use a test light grounded to the frame. If the light comes on with the green you know its positive, if it doesn't try the white.

    But I think you're right about green being positive and white being negative.

    That was it! PIAAs work great! I may have to loosen the bumper bolts on the right and use my jack to lift it a smidge, but its all on and solid! The IFS skid is AMAZING, it extends way back beyond the factory one, it just barely begins to cover the transmission

    Nice bumper! Im only a little biased. Seems like yours has the same problem mine has, the right side sits lower and out further then the left. I tried that with a jack and it got a little better then it was. I didn't expect to see another Pelfreybilt bumper in Nova Scotia.

    Fuck yes! Same wheels too! I like your taste in accessories ;) Honestly the droop is almost unnoticeable, i see it because I'm picky. Did you tuck your fender liners?

    Can't wait to get this done so I can work on the wheels and new front suspension.

    I didn't build it for that weight and I'm pretty sure it isn't braced well enough to handle the lateral movement I'd expect when in the tent.

    Still, the top piece of the rack is meant to be removed easily and the bottom pieces might hold a RTT. The lower bit is about level with the top of the cab. I'll have to get you to look at it sometime.

    I had all day to cut my flares, cut my cab mounts, mount my flares after being cut, BHLM and all I did was move my Tacoma badge to a new location and removed the Toyota and V6 SR5 badges.

    Yeah im down for a coffee meet or wheeling meet for sure, Kirk and I were going to do half moon trail in berwick or Ellershouse... well in ellserhouse (Windsor) we could schedule a meet in the future. And my RTT is about 120 pounds im sure that metal could hold it :p

    I have no doubt the rack will hold the tent, it's the crowd of rowdy partyers in the tent I was thinking of. Still, the rack is designed to be modular and it would not take much to fit a RTT. Which I now want. Also an expedition trailer.
