Papa Taco's Hard Caaaaarl Build and BS

you might want to take that picture and lighten up. No problem.

 

I think hard Carl was abused like red headed stepchild by John Bull...

 

Hahaha, at the very least....But hey, that fuckin' Jared/Hard Caarrlll def. gets it done....




Nice strap wrap on the stinger buddy !!.... I usually run mine around the LCA's....

 

After the first few tugs over the rocks we figured he should just keep it there.

 

I think it's time to invest in a snatch strap too hahaha

 

Looks like Hard Caaaaarl broke it's nose and you tried to bandage it with that strap.

 

Nah that's his rhino dic condom .....

 

More holes than Swiss cheese. Perfect for making more Caaaaaarls.

 

I think I may just run it 24/7 show how hard carl really is

 

Where's your front flares?

 

pulled them off. I still need to put the plugs in the holes. Gonna color match em

 

Do you still have them? If not I might be going the same route as you.

 

I still have the passenger side. I cut the drivers side to see what they would look like but I didn't like it. I'm gonna cut the tabs and paint them to match. there is a thread on it somewhere. it seems pretty easy and I like how it looks.

 

Added a few more things to the truck lots of storage and what not with the help of some friends. Thanks to everyone who helped out or let me use some tools or shop space. Big thanks to Allen for all the help.

I pulled out the rear seats of the access can and decided to build a box. I used 1-1/4" angle steel and 3/4 inch plywood. That box is sturdy as hell and ain't going anywhere. I'm almost done carpeting the whole thing. Red has approved of this.


I used buckles for trap doors in the side. I think it worked out pretty nicely.



I also decided to build a platform in the bed that was level with the wheel wells for storage underneath and sleeping up top.





Got a pic of Mikey showing off his manliness

 

looks good man. Did you finish in time for grand Canyon?

 

for the most part. I still want to build drawers underneath on rollers and have latches and what not for the top but I got what I needed for the trip done. I never would have finished if we had the meet hahaha

 

yea.

 

Went to the Grand Canyon this weekend. Had a lot of fun with the girlfriend and pup. But more importantly tested out the bed and storage system I've been working on. It went really well. I think with a little more padding in the back it would've been perfect. Also need to make the hinge doors for the bed. Kind of a pain in the ass sliding everything in the bed and even worse when your trying to get anything out.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

 

Do you need to add a suspension system to that just to counter the constant back and forth motion? Perhaps resis are in order.

 

Awesome !

Where did you camp?
