my twinsie build.. sorta. lol

Looking good boss

 

Thanks man! yea were almost twins haha. I lurk over on ur page every now and again. Got me thinking about a soft topper after seein urs. Can't wait to see it in person at the hurricane creek ride

 

Yeah boss i almost got a 1st gen(actually what i wanted) but this one popped up and dad was like eh.

Yeah hopefully i'll have the bed rack over it painted... it's rusting and it's been cold for weeks...

 

teaser of the bed bar. gonna get daytime shots tmrw

 

updated pics with the bed bar and finally with the sliders mounted

 

was able to get another bed bar built. this one i mounted so i can mount it in 2 different spots and used cotter pins to take it on and off easily

 

Looks good man!! Now just connect them and youll have yourself a bedrack and can getcha an RTT!! Still looking into a rear bumper?

 

I like it a lot, interesting use of cotter pins. Not exactly sure how it works but way to go.

 

thanks dude. if i did alot of camping id definitely get a RTT, jus wouldnt use it enough to justify buying one unfortunately. but yea hopefully this spring i can get you to make me one, ill keep u updated.

thanks. the cotter pins are basically used in place of bolts so i can pull it on and off or slide it down to the other mounting location easily. still fits tight with no movement and i dont plan on running anything heavy on it. but the one holding my hi lift is bolted.

 

had a chance to hit the trails again today with nathan (02_trd_tacoma.)
remembered to take plenty of pics this time

 

Where is this at? Looks like fun! Next time im up that way, maybe if you get a bumper ill deliver it to you as well and we can go wheel!! BTW put he first test on my tube bumper last night, got it stuck pretty good upto the top of my front wheels in much in order to see how itd hold up to snatching, held like a champ with just the hitch receiver shackle mount, still think itd be better to add actualy recovery points tied into each frame rail which will be standard from here on out!

 

its right off hwy 321 towards boone. believe it or not the whole trail is on a gps since its considered a road. but the bumper definitely sounds stout man! when i get one it'll be from you for sure. but yea if ur ever up this way holler at me or nathan and well all hit the trail

 

How about this weekend theres a place called Big Creek im just learning of we all can maybe have a small meet and hit some trails

 

ahh unfortunately this coming weekend is the weekend i have to work. unless you come up on friday cause I'm free on fridays and could meet up then.

 

Probably will go Friday unless im still busy building anything. Have a rear tube bumper to do as soon as metal comes in. probably stay all weekend up there but ill see about coming fri

 

next mod. cb in the ashtray location

 

CB installed. got power using an add-a-fuse and installed the antenna on my bed bar.

 

Have fun tomorrow man. Get some good pics. By the way I finally got my build done

 

Will do man. I was hopin you'd be able to tag along with me and Nathan.

Nice I was waitin for u to put one together. I'll check it out
