    I went down to Relentless Fab yesterday to help Eric & Kolt prototype and test fit the new no drill bolt on sliders. The front leg mounting plate bolts not only to the frame but also wraps around and bolts through the cross member. the rear three legs are all on one mounting plate. They are beefy (like you'd expect from Eric) as bolt ons and could be used as super heavy duty frame reinforcing weld on sliders.
    Wait until you see the new bumper he's working on. It's a high clearance rear caged bumper with double swing aways. One holds the spare & a table the other one holds a gas can. It's still a work in progress & I can't wait to see the finished product.

    Are you talking about the stock power inverter? It will run until there's still enough juice to start the truck and then power down? That's good info.

    For me it's all about the math.
    Great designs + great workmanship + great prices - shipping charges (local) = no brainer.
    That's why Eric will be making sliders, skids & bumpers for me someday.

    Took a while but I finally found one.
    I've been looking every day for over a year. This was on Craigslist about six months ago, but the guy wouldn't answer his phone or return my calls. I figured he sold it and didn't take the add down. Then it pops up again $200 cheaper.
    Haven't noticed any additional wind noise. I had a Truxido (sp) cover and wouldn't be surprised if my mileage drops a little because of the weight. I'm not sure if I'll add any more racks to the canopy. Might have to for the long ass canoe.

    I got the Console Lock Mod done today and got this nifty organizer for my Center Console from a member on here had to trim a corner on the front divider so there was no interference w the lock. The center pocket fits My G27 in a Desantis Super Fly like a glove and keeps it surprisingly at the ready.

    I put mine to work today. Hauled about 3k lbs of scrap metal off to the scrap yard.


    Dakars FTW! Handled it great. Sagged a few inches, but didnt look like it was dragging the ground. Good ride too.

    I tightened the U bolts to 80ft lbs. what a difference it made. Ride is like it should be without the clunking.

    I tried to wire the DVD part of my head unit today, it didn't work. I wired the iPod cable through the dash scoop and it works very well. I tried to put a SPST switch under the AC controls but it didn't fit. A switch to ground doesnt work for my deck I guess. Ill try again later when I add speakers/subs.

    Has anyone seen a switch panel above the cup holders?
