ALBtacoma build

sorry didn't realize you had asked me a question. I like it so far, it worked out of the box and I have used it to recovery my truck from a sticky situation once already (high centered on a rock going backwards down a 45+ degree hill near the edge of the hill.). Only time will tell.

 

Found a really good deal on a pair of lightforce lance 140 so I mounted them this week. Also had a friend of mine wire in some back up lights in my bumper and we also wired in @Up2NoGood heated mirror kit. Can't wait to use these in the winter

 

Mounted up some shovel and axe mounts in the back of the truck. I'm pretty happy with them

 

Got my ottraw switches in the other day and was able to wire them in last night

 

Built in Alberta! Subscribed! Keep it up dude!

 

Thanks man. It's coming together still saving up for a winch and a snorkel

 

Put 1700 miles on the other week for a wedding not much camping but was able to snap a photo of the truck in its glory. Also picked up a

$323 ckma12 on-board air compressor high performance 12 volt for air locker differentials and tire inflation

ckma12 yesterday hope to get it installed with in the next couple weeks. Now just getting everything ready to hit up crowsnest pass this weekend for some trails. Standby for some pics of the trip.

 

Sweet rig!

 

Like the set-up!

 

Well took off for crowsnest last weekend and what a great time. Pulled late on thursday night to meet the other guys and just stayes in a campground to make it easy for everyone. The next morning we all packed up, grabbed some coffee and gas and headed out. First stop was to a little opening where we would set up base campe as some trucks were packing heavy from being on the road for a couple weeks. As camp was being setup i mentioned to the guys my brakes feel soft. After talking we thought it might be air or the master cylinder failing. We decided to bleed the brakes to see if it was air. We did get some but the didnt fix it and almost made it worse. I told everyone i would see how bad it is and decide if i would park the truck to be safe. We aired down at camp and started heading up seven bridges trail. Lots of creek crossings on the trail and some tight sections but not too bad. We stopped about half way down the trail for some lunch and to start taking in the scenery. They asked how the brakes were and i said it was a little sketchy sometimes but are holding just have to push the peddle twice to start getting pressure. After lunch we kept heading down the trail and got to one spot where we decided to turn around as only one truck has a locker and there weren't many winch points down this embankment to get back up.
Next trail we headed up was tent mountain. Pretty easy trail but takes you up to a old open pit coal mine with some great views. From there we continued up to very top. Ot was a pretty good climb to get up there and i think the wife puckered up a little cresting the top. We spent a good hour on top throwing boulders down the hill and being boys again. All the wives just laughed at us and let us be. We then headed back down to base camp for a potluck supper and a relaxing evening by the fire. Day 2 up next but need to get some chores done first.

 

Beast truck.

Do you have a side-view pic with the tire carrier closed?

 

I did in my old phone. I will grab one tomorrow for you. Do you want just the box or the whole truck? And thank you

 

Whole truck... box... whatever. Just curious about the profile of the spare tire on a truck with no cap. Usually you only see tire carriers on trucks with caps or soft toppers.

Any major issues with blind spots out the rear view?

Thanks.

 

Its not too bad for blind spots just need to make sure you look out the side mirror. I need to get my back up camera installed sometimes backing up im way off on distance especially with low cars.
I bought the truck used so i could never get to the spare. When i did get it off it just stayed in the box.

 

Any updates?

 

did these switches fit direct or did they require cutting?
