The beer is all gone, with a little build and some BS thread

Keeping my distance

 

gotcha

 

Unpacking some goodies for the truck.

 

Starting to put things together.

 

These are a lot easier to get the bolts started with a 2x4 beneath them.

 

Starting with the middle of the outer armor, then moving to the front and rear makes the spacers a lot easier to deal with.

 

Probably all I will get done today. Still need to attach the front fairing, the grab handles, and of course mount it to the truck. I've got some stuff on order from Amazon that will need to arrive before final assembly.

 

Easier reference.

Rack looks stout!

 

Thanks, man! I drooled over this thing for a while before pulling the trigger on it.

 

Hell yeah, its definitely worth it to get what ya want!

 

That thing is sweet. What kind of rack is that? Are all the attachments(armor, handles etc) add ons or standard?

 

It's the upTop Alpha rack. Does not come with any real extras, just the GrooveTek for wiring, handles, and I got the color-matched side armor and BDS8 30" cutout. They do have a bunch of add ons for it. I'll be slowly adding more junk to it, so my truck will get slower and slower.

ShadeBRKT will probably be the first add on, then one of those Foxwing awnings to go with it for maximum factor.

 

BALLIN

 

Ordered about a grand of computer monitors, stands and BS to go with all the other shit I ordered and don't have yet...

Next up is a drum set. My neighbors really need to hear a drum set played by my kids.

Hell yeah.

 

More boredom buys. Easing stay at home restrictions will probably save me money...

In anticipation of getting into the outdoors again.

 

Just waiting for the wiring harness now.

 

Still need to add the lights and get things wired up.

 

Much beef!
