    Noice! Me mum's family is from Wisconsin, the land of cheese, beer and brats. I've had a few other brands but nothing stacks up to Johnsonville.

    Cloudy, not sure you saw this in my build thread. Picked up a bunch of bolts, wingnuts, sleeves and washers and think I have an easier solution for the hilift mount:

    IMG_0452_zpsbe795fa1_c6c883826564c74a1fb1a218a39cc08270c4dd84.jpg

    Thinking of mounting at an eyelet at the top like we talked about and just above the base plate. Minimal drilling and fab work. I've got to test fit it and see if I can set it up so it draws the edge of the baseplate down to the bed surface. It'll prevent any twisting and the resulting bending of any sheet metal. Might still need help drilling the lock hole and possibly cutting down the sleeves.

    Actually, glad to hear this. Totally makes sense and means your mechanic is one of the good ones. 300k+ miles on a fork. Gotta love Toyota.

    Yo, Im down for a BBQ on friday, I can bring whatever, burgers, beer, brats.

    Edit:: I boiled 2 different kinds of Johnsonville Brats in Guiness with diced sweet onions and then threw them on the grill for St. Patty's day. They were Fucking delicious. I can bring a pot of them boiled and ready for the grill this Friday. Just let me know fellas.

    That could work. For the wiring, are you talking about kc's locker or a different project? He is heading over to my house about 230 to work on his truck.

    Also, we have work to do on the can mounts.
