    Very nice!!... I was afraid you were going to say it was custom. I'm looking for bike transport options. Not a fan of the hitch carriers and dont have quick release so fork mount is out. Looking at a tailgate pad but still not sure how I feel about them.
    Thanks for the pics and info.

    I've made a few for folks around here with Tacos that liked mine. I could always make up one for ya and ship it out :thumbsup:. I'd have the main rack separated into 3 pieces for shipping so you'd have to have someone make 2 welds and then it would all bolt it. Let me know if you're interested. Can make from stainless like mine, or plain ol' steel

    Ordered up all my wiring goodies for putting in my switchpro setup last night!

    Had a great day this morning! You know that feeling when you find a $20 in an old coat? Well imagine what it feels like to find $350 you had stashed in a cabinet a few months ago and forgot you had put there! Free truck payment!

    No I already have a 2 molle attachable things. I want to see how they attach, then decide what else I want.

    https://www.amazon.ca/Military-Tact...9848&sr=8-17&keywords=molle+tactical+backpack

    I think the backpack will fit nice, I want to see if the smaller pouch will fit above it.

    Very cool. I'm sort of doing the same so I'll attach the thing to the back of my seat, then add my items that don't need pouches, then see what room I have left over for new pouches. Some of those pouches can be pretty pricey by themselves.

    Just hit 82K and did spark plugs and oil change. Interesting to see that Toyota put two different spark plugs, Denso's on passenger side and NGK on driver side. Install of 50qrt ARB fridge and ARB Twin Compressor coming soon!

    You’ll love the compressor. I just installed mine the other week, and my mind was blown airing up with it the first time.

    Im super excited, Im going to be taking my fold down seat out in the back of my access cab and building a platform that will have one drawer per side and a slide on top for the fridge. Where did you mount your compressor?

    Nice! I mounted mine under the hood with a Slee off road mount. I originally thought it was too pricey, but extending the wiring harness to mount it somewhere else wouldn’t have been cheap either.

    That looks very nice. I picked up the Viair (because it was inexpensive, and still works with 33"s) and have considered mounting it. Right now it's easily moved around, and can connect to any battery with the alligator clips. I just have the issue of not having a solid place to store it.

    Have you had any issues with the compressor getting too hot?

    That’s what I had before! The viair 88p. It’s a solid compressor for the money.

    Nope, it has a fan that runs the entire time from when you turn it on. I have aired up 12 tires, 3 rigs in a row no down time with out a single issue. It took almost no time to do 3 rigs, the other guys where very jelly.
