samiam | One Thing Leads To Another

My alignment numbers from today. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know shit about the numbers, but truck felt rock solid zipping down the freeway on the way home. Thensteerin wheel is a tad off, but not bad.

 

A package with edge trim from Trail Toys @SMKYTXN arrived as I was heading out for a camping trip so I took it with me and installed it during a rain storm. I used the edge trim to put a finishing touch to the side rail of my rack. I was a little worried that it wouldn't conform to the curve at the ends, but it had a super strong bite and was not an issue. I'm very pleased with the result.

 

Hell yeah! Not having to worry about glued on crummy trim is a plus! Installing it in the rain on a wheeling trip is a new one bud. I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

It's been a while since I've made updates to this thread, but my truck has undergone quite a transformation in the last 6 months. I'll try to update everything with pictures this week.


This was a trip to Williams, AZ last weekend. It rained almost all day on Friday. The last three times the wife has gone camping it rained all day on at least one of the days.

 

I got in on the molle panel group buy so in anticipation of it's arrival I pulled the plastic bins and applied sound deadener to the back wall and under the rear seats this weekend. I like it so much that I ordered another box of material so I can do the doors as well.

 

Truck is coming along nicely!

 

Thanks man. What have you been up to?

 

Been busy, had a kid, moved back to NV, started a new career, bought another house. Now looking for another toy. I hear it only gets worse...
What have you been up to?

 

I quit my job back in January to take care of my dad, who is handicapped. It's given me time to mess around with the truck, and spend lots of money. We're now looking at moving to Prescott, AZ in the near future.

 

I'm afraid of I didn't have work to occupy my time I would just spend and spend. I've heard Prescott is pretty nice.

 

Front doors are done.

 

Very nice on the sound proofing! RTT & awning look great! Glad to see your updates.

 

Thanks Nick.
Sound proofing on rear doors coming soon, then tranny tunnel, then other places. It's so addicting.
I love the RTT, but wife hates it. She wants a trailer, but that aint gonna happen.

 

Molle panel is installed with a few pouches. I still need to re-fit my air compressor.





...one of the few projects that the wife actually likes.

 

So many solid ideas in this build man. That looks good man great idea on the trim Im really diggin your rack for my next project. I like the side pieces and trim especially.

 

Thanks man. I'm having tons of fun working on it.

 

What did you use for the side pieces on the rack? I couldnt find any that big at Home depot or lowes?

 

The sides are slotted angle metal that I bought at Home Depot.

 

thanks I will keep looking.

 

Did you go with a 60 in length rack? I found that slotted angle metal at 60 in which would be perfect and I like how yours fits 5 bars nicely.
