The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Covered his ass...

 

So got my awning on. It's bad ass. Love it.

While it came with brackets they weren't tall enough for what I wanted. So We made some.




Fitted




I love how this thing works. Pretty easy to setup and is quite stable. It's very clever on how it all works.





Bobby also sent me the mesh room too. Also very easy to setup. Will help with the bugs!!





And the final brackets and installation

 

Yea it is. 55" wide and like 8' long.

Covers the tail gate great for cooking and stuff. Provides shade for 3 people easy. ,y truck only fits 2 so..no prob

 

Oh no... I haven't seen one of those before... must.resist.urge.to.buy... Immediately.

That is exactly what my camping setup needs. Nice work.


EDIT: OK, I'm biting... You mind sending me a link to where you bought it?

 

Ha! Yea man they are great. I can't wait to use it.

This is the link to mine

You can't stand up. People like you and me are too tall. It's only good for sitting. Which is all right, I suppose. Looks cool!

 

Actually I put mine high enough I can stand. Why I made new brackets

 

Hmmm...

 

Flat belly skid plates?

 

You're putting on more lights!

 

Lol nope. Well..finishing front skid and making a swing out lock and table for the tire gate.

Well..I still need to do rock lights...

 

Did you get the 55" to extend off the back? I like that idea.

 

Yea man. That's how it's hanging now not sticks out about 5" past my RTT on each side..but I don't care.

I love it. It'll be great to use.




Also got ,y bumper back on and it's straight again!!

 

Ugh, so jealous how much stuff you do to your truck! Haha

This past month or so stuff keeps coming up to where I can either afford to have a life, or buy stuff for my truck and be bored when I've installed everything... Maybe I need to get a weekend job... Haha

 

Dig the awning man! I'm probably going with the 55" off the back with the bug net, annex to the mckinley (87") to the drivers side, and then the 99" on the passenger with the cloth walls. I want it to be hard to find the truck underneath it lol.

 

Haha well..i have no life..literally just been hangin out with my dad working on our trucks lol been fun! haha

but i like to think of it as my truck is my life..every week end is a new adventure and thats why i dump all my money into it.

thanks man! its really nice!!! probably one of the best addition. Super easy to setup. Im sure once it stop raining here and i get a vid up more people will be sold on them. If i had known how nice they where i woulda bought one long ago. They are really clever.

and dang man! that would be intense! you could sleep sooooooo many people haha

 

The way I figure we'll cook out the back utilizing the bug net for ventilation, and the full walled one for eating and hanging out. Awning will serve as the dogs area as well as changing area.

 

Haha I think I might actually prefer my truck being modded more than a so called "social life"...

 

ahhhh gotcha! well stay tuned to see my new table get done then my rear area will be great!

I will say this..with my swingout table..i won't be able to use the netting. Just in case your palnning on that too..

what i did..i don't drink, smoke, or party. Nothing. Just work, and play with the truck and stuff. I still go and hang with some friends every now and then. But rarely ever spend money or save for it. id rather fill my tank up with gas and truck with new toys and go for a trip in the hills. Love it.

should have a portable shower soon too..

 

Nice haha I was never much for partying and stuff.

But I've eaten out a lot with friends as well as went home at the beginning of May, so the drive there and back cost me about $250 in gas. Let alone the money I spent while at home...

Once I go to New Mexico I'll start building up money again for mods! Hopefully I'll do some camping on a few weekends out there, even if it is just sleeping inside my truck haha

Portable shower sounds nice! What are you going with? I've looked up some stuff about it, but it seems very complicated and I haven't found a full kit that I like.
