    I posted this in my build thread but i dont think i will get very much of a response lol. I have a couple of thoughts here. I was thinking about getting a tool box for the bed of my truck. Im not sure what brand is "good". I defiantly want a black low profile one. I also want to get a small air compressor to mount inside as well as a tool bag, battery (or all in one jump starter), and maybe mount some backup lights on the lid of the tool box. Thoughts?
    Edit: also, for the air compressor would an air tank be necessary for airing up tires or would the compressor itself be ok?

    Should work good.

    Make sure the battery has a good vent. I'd actually just make three small compartments in the actual box one for tools, one for battery and one for compressor.

    I'd also make sure it's a deeper box too. That's my least favorite thing about tool boxes that below them you loose some storage space.

    I don't unless it bad. But Wyoming mud is high in bentonite which basically makes it like super glue mud. If you don't get it off ASAP it stays on for a long time.

    This trip..sucked to clean up

    At that point I'd just roll it into a detail shop and hold them to the normal price

    Shoulda got in on theGB! They sold like 67 tents or something like that. 30% off. I got my Mt. Shastashipped to my door cheaper the what it costs out right.

    I loved it. The ladder isn't the greatest..but not something to fret over.

    Made a mount for my spare. Just something cheap and temporary until I get either a tire gate or something from cbi.

    Just made out of some spare metal I had. Welded 2 bars to a nut on some all thread. Then removed the factory spare tire winch cable thing, drilled a hole up and welded a nut to the factory xmember.
