    Custom, only one ever designed and built interiors, heavily welded frame, all sharp metal turned bed rack and a roof top I made for $75. Power pedal, injen intake system, cat delete, summit racing brake proportioning valve controlled on the fly, slightly adjusted or perhaps unrecognizable ECM, built in under bed storage, high clearance rear built with 1/4" on a 6011 1/8" rod at 120 amps, 360 degrees of led light, a PA and CB, on board air, on board propane (to cook food), on board fridge made from an old red bull fridge found on some guys man cave built into the storage cubby under the back seat, imported tranny and clutch from a good friend over in Europe to replace this aisin junk we get, combined 32 gallons fuel capacity, 18 5 gallons of water storage, built in gun locker under RTT, and all it cost was to hear the wife ramble on about upset neighbors at 2 in the morning every night since I bought that damn truck..
    I figured it was hight time to put this out there, and I'm sure I'll get roasted and it should be in that thread bit here she be. My factory inverter, which btw I did NOT do the 400w all the time mod I actually did leave something alone, caught fire. Long story, anyways, that was it. I was done with every length of that damn harness. So I'll take questions or criticism but I believe the pics are self explaining. I take grinder, utility knife, sand paper, the red wrench... and go to town. It's my system, it works very well, it's simple for idiots like me to fix if that need should ever arise which somehow has not. I already know I'm not a carpenter and yes it will get done but I literally had to stop while sanding to have that phone call that it's time to head hone and say your last goodbye to the man that started me on the path im on today and take over where he left off. I'm sure he would've said finish the damn thing as he was a mad scientist and inventor of crazy shit. Anyways if any body wants to know how I made this all go together and also how to build (not buy) a solar set up that btw, puts redarc or whatever that dual battery shit is to shame, PM me I'll give ya the recipe ain't trying to patent anything or make money.

    I have an anytone 5888 dual band, tuned
    Stryker sr-94hpc 10 meter, tuned,
    980 SSB which I tuned myself but I'm tinkering with the antenna confidence currently
    Midland mxt500 gmrs plus a trunk tracker which I had professional (that hurts saying) tuners do as I'm not an expert in that category yet. And that for tye time being is in the jockey box for temporary reasons.

    Thank you, he was the legend I went thru life not knowing he was and everything he contributed to the shooting world. (National champion rifle and pistol 1st place several times) and to answer.. I have no idea but everyone says I need it. My buddy said if we had a pro camera man and we offered 20% of the earnings we get from views or likes or whatever it is, he would regret not taking us up on our offer and that someone else did haha.
