    Need to start grinding some of these welds. Hopefully my axle comes in some time this week. Thinking about doing some type of cooler mint for the front. Still not sure yet. So many options!

    I'd still keep the cooler in the truck unless you get a really big one. When you go out during the day you'll want to take it with you for drinks/snacks but also to keep it cooler and not in direct sunlight. Looks good!!

    That spot where the cooler is would be prime for a nice tool box/storage.

    Yea those are good points. really don't want to keep it in my truck though. Im going to be doing a small cooler mount on my rear bumper for the day trip stuff. Similar to this. Still thinking all of this stuff though. Ready to get it on its wheels!!

    That's pretty cool. Are you making that area dual purpose, water/fuel/ then day trip cooler area?

    I love that design but I don't think I'm going to go that route. I'm most likely going to run a rack similar to what I have on my shell across the top of it and make it henged on one side and pinned on the other so it acts as a lid... If that makes sense. So the rack will henge to one side sort of like a lid but just not sealed. @zscott

    Similar to this.... Minus the sealed lid. The rack itself would be the lid....

    UPS man passed. Trail gear rear bumper. Planning on building a swing out off of this thing eventually. Debating on whether I should powder coat it now and run it as is or wait and get the parts in and build the swing out now. I just already have a pretty big project sitting in my garage..... Either way I'm very happy with how solid this thing is. Much more stout than I was anticipating. It weighs about 75lbs or so. Very simple and good looking design. Spikes have already been cut off though :anonymous:

    I just grabbed a used TG rear myself. I agree, the spikes have to go. Did you buy the flat round end caps from TG or just cut something to fit?

    The spikes are actually solid so i just grinded on the spike side of the weld and the spike was then the cap. I was pretty happy about that. Does that make sense?
