    I really like your truck! Very nicely done and cool videos. The mudflaps on your ATO rear is a great idea and interesting spot to pick for your backup camera. I decided to mount mine to the swing gate just so i could have a corner of the tire in the camera view to help give some depth perception, especially when backing up to pickup trucks.

    Have you broke your hinge pin that holds your tire gate in the "open position" yet? Doesn't take much force, i've already went thru 3 "quick release pins" and now i'm considering upgrading...

    Thanks....yeah I broke it once so far. Lets hope it doesn't break again, but it is only plastic holding it in place. That was Kevin's design for the camera. I actually have the exact same bumper that he put on that expo build. If you find a way to upgrade the pin, please give me a heads up.

    IMHO i think that release pin is definitely not very heavy duty, especially for the weight it's holding. I been doing some looking around and am considering upgrading to something like this. Of course that means i'd have to fab a new mount and reinforce the plate that will hold the pin, but at least it should hold a 35" tire and water/fuel without issue...

    and here's a pic for reference...

    Thanks you two...I decided to finally wash and wax it yesterday. Been about 6 months since I have done it by hand :eek: Happy with the way it came out, but I need to clay bar it now :facepalm:

    Getting a tacoma in about a month and a half and your truck is probably going to be the inspiration.
    Nice work!
