You're "killin" it man!

 

Overtime wages are the only way I can keep the mods going!!!

Have a great day partner!!! ​

 

I hear ya! You too man

 

I may have to do the fuel filter, I haven't thought about it. But yeah my mpg isn't bad but can be better I'd hope

 

I just buy the pizza

 

Ya if you've never done the fuel filter, it could probably use one.
I paid $34 from Earnhardt Toyota on eBay.
I just pulled it up to post the link and they've changed price to $40 lol
It ships fast n free though

 

And hold stuff that's being welded. And pass out the beers...

 

I'll look into that. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt

 

Well I went to pick up a shell last Friday. @Mad T showed up to the Mod Day the weekend before with one and since I bought my truck with one I've wanted one ever since. So I took about a week to find one. There were a couple in TN and thats about all that would reply to me. None of them were color matched but it wasn't too bad. I kept altering the words on Craigslist (camper shell, truck topper, etc.) and I found a F.S. ad for a truck that said he had a matching topper. "I wonder if he sold the camper yet" I thought to myself. Seeing he didn't post any pics of it, I figured he didn't. Damn was I correct, we went back and forth and he told me it just needed new gas struts, clamps and maybe new locks becasue he didn't have the key. So I asked a price and he said $150. SOLD! No way I could find a better deal that was semi-local. So on Friday me and @bryanbyers28 drove down about 1.5 hours to pick it up!


Damn it looks so good too! So then I took it back to Bryan's place to wash it. I stopped by a couple stores and snagged some struts and clamps.


Damn thing was super dirty but hell I couldn't complain.

After that we headed up to a buddies place for the weekend.


The next day we started the activities!






Finally got to shoot my guns! It was fun but mine jam'd about half way thru my ammo, so the AR ended short (I have fixed it tho) So I just spent the day shooting my Glock and Colt.

Here are a few other shots throughout the day





Bryan jacking a truck off

Then it hit Sunday and we headed home





Thomas snagged some rolling shots of us



Overall a damn good weekend with some good friends and made a few more. Super excited about my shell too. I'm keeping my RTT but won't be putting it up on the shell because it'll be too high of a COG.

Thanks for reading!



Pics curiosity of @Mad T

P.S. I was drinking on Thursday night after school and I have now a new addiction


More to come

 

Looking great brother!

 

Thanks mah dude

You bastard with your pretty, clean, color matched shell.
Have you figured out a solution for mounting the RTT yet?

 

Glad to see the swing out is holding up @Mad T!

 

To mount it onto the shell? I'd go Prinsu cabrac and install it on that. But I don't plan on putting it up there, just need to fab up a new bedrack and go back and forth between the two
