    Hey DefconBrix,

    We kind of like your truck too.. but maybe we are a little partial considering you are outfitted with all of our armor and suspension :) you wear it well sir!

    I agree, so much that I'm considering the aluminum pack rack for my truck.:D

    I'm curious what the price was for the truck vault? If it's actually $4,000 that's going to be a deal breaker.

    Thanks everyone for all the love!! I feel like my truck is finally coming together and getting dialed in before all the long expeditions and weekend offroad trips start.

    I got the steel pack rack before the Aluminum one was out - so now I want to switch lol

    The TruckVault I have is the standard height all-weather and is around $3,600 but depending on options you can get one cheaper. Check out there website where you can "build one" and get a pretty accurate quote or just give them a quick call - they are amazing people to deal with and take pride in not only the quality of their products but in the quality of customer service they give also. Huge Fan!

    I take a lot of photos and don't always share them right away - simply because I don't like to "spam" people.. but here are few more of previous "photo ops" in the past month:

    TruckVault
    Depending on what I am doing really depends what goes in the TruckVault. Here I had a couple rifles (one old Springfield Armory dated 1900 that I was simply dropping off at a local shop to make it more of a display piece, it was my grandfathers). In the other drawer random tools and my ARB premium recovery kit - just in case.
    [​IMG]

    TruckVault is looking pretty with a little bit of snow on top.
    [​IMG]

    I love how aggressive the truck looks from this angle - one of my favorite photos so far.

    Thank you so much. You are actually doing what all of us have said that we had wanted to do but, blah blah blah. I love it.

    The truck is very intimidating. (Never said that about a truck before)

    Keep it up!

    Best comment ever! My truck and I are both blushing over here lol

    I would love to meet up and wheel for sure! I'm trying to stay focused on the goal of this truck but with so many bad ass parts available sometimes I just have to cut my self off of the internet to stay on track lol

    Thanks bro! I love the Fox's but I hear the the Walker Evans are a little softer of a ride on the street. I have no complaints at all from highway to crawling - I have been a huge fan of Fox for so long I haven't branched out into other brands though.

    Currently, I am getting just under 15mpg but I am still on stock gears for another week.

    Hey sean, does that mount for the ax/shovel on the pack rack need to be welded or is it bolt on? Cant find it on all pros website.

    The accessory bars are bolted onto the "weld-nut inserts" so you can change the location of them as needed per trip or just take them off all together.

    Here is a close-up photo of the accessory bars:

    Yeah man, I agree definitely on my purchase list. Especially since they can build a custom length so I can keep my tool box.

    Cool build man. I plan on doing something similar to this but calling it the FMC TACO build. Being a military guy you probably know I mean "Fully Mission Capable"

    Longer travel is definitely a must but I've been reluctant to get some glass on the truck. It looks good in most cases but can be a hassle. It doesn't look like you have any fiberglass or AM fenders on your rig, but you do have long travel. So i was just wondering if you have any input or advice about that. Thanks!
