The RAB Build

Thats a real nice truck

 

That truck rocks! Nicely done.

 

Yeah I figured it wouldn't fit on my truck. Looks great!
Your 265/75s look so such bigger than mine.

 

thanks guys.

I think it's because they stick out so far, and because you an see a lot of tire from the front.

 

I got some interior pics today, I cleaned it up, and mounted my gps, it's an awesome mount! also pics of my mag light mount, dog platform, switch for my hella's, and sirius, which will be coming out soon.











I also got rid of the last of the old bumper mounts from the sides, tucked the fender liners up and got all of my wiring out of the way and protected, here it is all cleaned up...


haven't done any work on the bumper lately, maybe tomorrow afternoon

 

Where'd you get that gps mount and do they make it for garmin?

 

Love it man great truck I mounted my mag lite running along the side of the shifter on the passenger side I've got a pic up on my not near A's impressive build thread. How many miles you have on that badass yota now? Sorry if I missed it but how did you relocate the hood latch for that grille? Keep up the awesome work can't wait to see what's next!!! And I love my BFG'S too

 

it's all me! very hard to explain this, there is a suction cup, with that piece of plastic on the back side of it.

I took out the 12v accessory plug to give power to the gps,
then I pushed the mount with suction cup through, so the suction cup is against the back of the 12v, then I slid the plastic piece that you can see back over and clicked it into place, it holds it very tight! and I can go back real easy.

 

182,000KM not sure what that is in mile, 110,000?

thanks for the kind words, I updated the first post to give more details without having to go through the whole thing.

 

I took some time tonight and put my hid's back in.

so, I think they were upside down, from ddm.


all I did in the first place was put them in, then tonight I took off the shield as a whole, and flipped the light/shield over, put em back in, aimed them and BAM back in hid action!

and for some weird reason my cel came on, I'll read the code tomorrow, hopefully an easy fix

 

nice, so whats the bumper going to look like once its finished up

 

it's going to be plate in the front, and a bit on the side pieces

 

Stop being on TW finish the bumper!

 

I don't have steel, i'll pick up another piece tomorrow to finish the sides

 

Ok, I got some steel, a flap disc, and a receiver for the future winch.

getting up early, and going to try and finish all the tube work that has to be done.

 

patiently waiting...


Cleaned up









Painted (quick shot for this week to keep the rust away)


on!


next on the list is the receiver for a winch, plate on the front and front/sides and small supports for the side's

 

more! fit's nice and tight the whole way around.

 

Looks good man, i like it. How big of a welder are you using?

 

I have an old lincoln 180 arc welder, 220 or 240v, whatever it is...

I bought it for 100 bucks and it came with a huge box of rods 1/8'' rods.

 

I thinking about picking an arc welder up, just cause i can get one for cheaper than a mig, and im looking for something that can have a little better weld penetration than my little 90 amp mig. Cause i want to build a front bumper and i want to put a hitch reciever on it but i need something bigger to weld that on with, cause i dont trust my little 90 amp to be strong enough, to make something that i would pull my truck with.

How hard is arc welding?

I have only ever done mig welding.
