Not so much a mod to the truck, but an accessory...a hitch mounted carrier for the old snow blower.

If/when it snows, I'm on duty to clear my father-in-law's driveway. He's only 1/4 mile up the road and last year, I used a Jeep TJ with a snow plow. I don't have the Jeep anymore and am hesitant to attach the plow kit to the new truck, so I'm relegated to using the snow blower this season.

When driven onto the carrier, the snow blower wheels nest between two rungs, so it stays put well. The ramp pivots up and will be held by a strap.

The rack is aluminum, all of which was various material I had on hand. It's made from 1" square x .060" wall tube and 1/4" plate. The main support and receiver are 2" x 1/4" wall square tube. Since it hasn't snowed much in the past few years. I didn't want to spend a lot for a carrier just for this, so making it from scratch was a nice way to burn a Saturday.

And yes, for you snow blower experts, that is a 1984, Montgomery Ward, 24", 2-stage. Old as heck, but starts on the first pull every time.

What did you end up going with? Are you using factory head unit and amp?
Click to expand...

I am using Infinity reference 6 1/2 2 way speakers for the front and rear doors.

I am planning on picking up a ported 8" JL Audio microsub

I will be using a Rockford Fosgate 750 watt 5 channel amp to power everything and just tying into the factory speaker harness behind the headunit

Headache rack yesterday. Bed reinforcements today. 3 hours to do the reinforcements just because I had to throw anti-seize on every single bolt since they love to rust and seize up.

I set it where I wanted it on my rack and put sharpie marks on the underside where the bolts go through. Then got some leftover bolts and nuts and drilled holes. I then smothered those bolts with silicone and heat gun'd them dry. Basically.

Hi- good job. Haven’t installed my Meso map and dome lights yet.

Two questions - did you disconnect your battery first? Also, do these LED lights “fade to off” the same way that the factory bulbs do?

I don't have 1st hand experience doing a recovery with the front end, at all. So take my opinion with a huge grain of salt.

I've been watching a lot of Matt's 4x4 recovery (Winder Towing) on YouTube. He has to recover a lot of stock vehicles. His advice and practice always seems to be to use either both tie down points or to use the lower control arm.

For me, I ended up going with the ARB. It's the only recovery point that's actually rated. I want to have something to get me out of a stupid situation I put myself in without harming the truck further. The other options are to do something like the mobtown off-road front hitch or a winch bumper. All of these connect to the frame and not just the subframe.

All that said, I'm still waiting for a "I ripped my front end off" thread. So, maybe I just worry too much.

Had mine 2.5 years. Don't disconnect battery. They fade just like the oem.

I have these in my high and low beams and they are a definite improvement over stock and I never get flashed. There is a very lengthy thread about lighting and the “resident expert”, he has tested a lot of bulbs, says that these are the only LED retrofits that he would recommend for these trucks.
Click to expand...

I bought them specifically because they’re the only recommended led for our trucks but I still get flashed multiple times a week. I wonder if I need to adjust them since my truck is lifted.
