Tonto27's Go Anywhere Build

ooo much smaller

 

thanks man. pretty happy with it so far. i'm getting better at welding tubing

yeah, just a tad. tent is even with the roof racks. not finished just yet, just need to add a couple things and figure out how i want to mount a stuff. those will have to wait till i get another day off though.

so for the moment, i'm topless!

 

Dude i think its werid when my tent is off too..doesn't look right haha

and even with the roof rack? sweet. So i bet your right at the sameish height as me. looks at tad lower.

 

it just looks so....... nekkid

well, i haven't put the tent on yet but from the measurements it should be right at the roof rack. i would bet this one is about 2" lower than yours

 

Mine is 14'' to the bottom of the tubing i think.

 

yep, mine is right between 11.5"-12" to the bottom of the tube

 

ahhh okay. So right there with ole man Mike haha very nice.

 

i just liked his truck so much when i drove it. now i must copy it. i'll paint it red and hang canes from it and everything.

 

HAHAHAHAHA

 

Joey, the bedrack looks amazing man. I cant wait to see the tent mounted up on it that'll look good. does the tent come even with the cab ir an inch or 2 higher? I did like u when u had ur stock skid painted red. I just got finished painting mine and getting it installed back on the truck. had to bolt it different now that the arb bumpers on. Truck is lookin awesome man keep up the good work.

 

thanks. i haven't been able to mount the tent back up yet but it should be even with the roof racks so about 2" higher than the cab (wanted to conserve as much storage space as possible)

aftermarket bumpers will do that. i had to add tabs to the crossmember when i still had the stock skid and just built my existing skids to mount to the same tabs. benefits of building your own skids........ you can make them mount to wherever you need them to.

 

I know what u mean about having to make brackets for the after market bumper. I had to take some pieces of aluminum to mount the stock skid to the frame of the truck. on the front of the bumper it had 3 holes already their so I just mounted the front to them, just had to get a few bolts from the local hardware store but that was it. It went up fine and actually turned out good IMO. If u want check it out on my build sometimes pics are better than words. Hahaha!!!

 

aaannnndddd.....BOOM goes the dynamite

 

Nice corner gussets, looks sick Gnar!

 

haha. gussets are where it's at! thanks man

 

looks awesome man! is that a 60'' hilift handle?

 

thanks

its just the 60" main bar. the rest is now in the tool box. much easier to find a home for it that way.

 

Thank God you did this. Your white knuckles on the steering wheel made me sad.

 

nice! and good..next time i might need a 60''...
