    Yea it has cruise, something to note the one with steering wheel controls fits the one without. The links in my order history are dead but here's the info from my invoice. Pics of them in my build thread.

    With me barely driving it now other than weekends I dunno if I'll catch ya. The bearings are starting to fail, getting the wine/ grinding noise and the truck would randomly die while running (this might be a short that i think i know what it is)

    There was about 140k on this one, first fried due to high water and my stupidity..

    All other pulleys seemed fine though

    What do you think of that truck-bed tent? I'm weighing my options for camping setups. Looks like its cheaper than a tepui, any complaints/drawbacks?

    Thanks man! I'm planning my build and want to prioritize things like tires, sliders and skids first before getting to roof racks tents and all that stuff, it looks like a good low cost "for now" option for this summer.

    Cheers!

    So I sold thr rear bumper and finally got to start the new one....


    Today's work, a ton of welding and grinding to do though. One side is now fully burned and ground down. Hope to have it done next weekend. Still have to add the final pieces, gusset the hitch, make side supports and get electrical done. Gonna be stronger than the last one and has a lower profile.
