    Was just curious if there was any decent offroad fab shops in Oklahoma or even surrounding states that could build things like bumpers, tire carriers, bed racks...things like that, without having to order from a shop in Cali that had a 10 week lead time.
    Thanks for any info!

    There's quite a few offroad-specific shops around OKC and the state. Might check out Exploration Outfitters.

    Toy Soldiers in Atoka. I have seen some of this guy’s work, and it is awesome.

    Thanks for the replies fellas. I'll look into Toy Soldiers for sure since they're just a bit south of me.

    I know what you mean, I'm wanting to pull the trigger (as soon as my wife OK's it) on a cab and bed rack from dissent, but it's a 10 week wait. I'm too impatient for all that lol.

    Also, those running boards are working out great for me Possum. Thanks again!

    I'm thinking about pulling that campershell off mine and building a bed rack.

    Well...I have a set of Relentless Fab bed bars that I got off here several years ago that I put on my white 2010. I guess I had dreams of maybe putting a RTT or a spare tire carrier on it. All I really did was use it as a rod holder while I was catfishing.

    But I think I may put them on my gray one after I yank the campershell. Then maybe mount a roof basket to the bars and carry my spare and a few other things on it.

    First thing, I got to get these ditch lights mounted since they've been sitting in the living room for the past 4 months.

    That would be sweet. I'm thinking about doing something similar if I ever wear out my vinyl bed cover.

    Man have you seen those Diamondback bed covers? Kinda half tempted to get one of them and mount a basket on it.

    I have, and they look awesome. They are extremely strong and should make it nearly impossible for anyone to get into the bed, and carry just about anything you could put on top of it.

    Yeah I think that thing could haul most anything you put on a flatbed!

    I always want to spend more!

    I think I crossed paths with you today on South Main. I waved once I realized it was you. I really dig the white lettering on the grill.

    FINALLY got a day warm enough and enough time this week to install my ditch lights. Feel bad about having them sitting in the passenger side floor board for 4 months before getting them on. Now I just gotta get some free time to get out in the woods and see how they do.20190225_170855.jpg
