1st Gen. Customs

I wanted to start this thread where people can post fully custom things that they have done to their 1st Gen. So nothing that was bought. It has to be made by you or someone else. I want this to be a sticky so we can see all the unique things that people do with their trucks in a single thread instead of 50 different BS threads. Anything from bumpers and suspension, to audio and interior work, let's see all those genius things you have all done!!!

 

How about a bed rack that raises and lowers the RTT?

That's interesting, did you make that? I've never had one so I'm sure exactly what the benefits are of this. Are they that heavy or does that do something else?

 

I'll play....here is a front receiver I made.

That looks awesome, this is the kind of stuff I'm talkin about, great work!!!

 

My design and I did everything but bend the tube and the welding.

RTT's are inherently heavy, around 100 lbs. The lower you can mount this, the lower your CG will be. Stick it up high (on the rooftop for example) and your truck becomes a bit more top heavy. Additionally, if you place a large flat surface (1' x 4') up in the airstream, you tend to decrease your MPG.

Conversely, If you utilize the 'annex', then you want to deploy the tent above the top of your head. If not, annex walls are loose and billowy, and it is nice to stand upright when using the annex.

This was my solution. I can wheel / travel with the RTT in a lower configuration, yet raise to to the desired height to utilize.

 

Very nice. Looks to be a well executed answer to the issue of that raised COG. Nice work.

 

I understand know, very unique and well build, the video makes it look like you need more powerful struts? or did you use springs

 

Nice loafers .
Do you have a build up tread on that ? great idea
