Yeah, you wouldn't want to use the most expensive way to mount the most expensive way to carry something.

You won’t regret them. I use the additional tie down spots that they add all the time.

Installed my Rigid Chase Lights today. Took me 4 hours to install and that was with prewiring the strobe and ground wire to be ran to the engine. Just took my time to do it right.
I was going to use wire taps but could not find 22 ga taps so I manned up and soldered the wires to the harness. VERY happy how they came out. Got the running, brake, reverse and strobe lights working. Due to daylight quickly fading away, I will have to hook up the cargo lights next weekend.

A little rednecky, but then that's what I am.

I removed my finger....bearing.

MoonDogSwampFox said: ↑

I was back in my hometown briefly for the holiday and had the used car dealership track down a mechanic that could swap out the finger bearing in my front differential. He covered the labor and reimbursed me for the parts which I had already ordered. The vibration was mild to begin with and seems to have improved, though I still feel like it’s there from around 20-26mph both accelerating and decelerating. At any rate, knowing there’s not a small grenade rattling in the differential is a relief.

Made some brackets for quick fists to hold my small metal detecting shovel. I'll build another single for the other side too. To hold my C15 Fiskars Axe.

Some of my Christmas mods I done & blew a fuse while I was at it

DawgLover · Dec 27, 2020

Installed my new TRD Pro shift knob and much overdue bed mat. Ashamed it took me this long to get it. In-laws were kind enough to gift me both as well as some funds towards my Diamondback SE. I have the best in-laws in the world. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. Now I just have to wait until February 10th for the DB. Praying they work overtime to get it to me sooner.

Geno 17TRD · Dec 27, 2020

Installed my Rekgen mud flaps, just in time!!!!!

Just got back home from seeing where my last uncle left his ghost at on Tues. 12/22/20 He had a massive heart attack and drove off the road into the ditch and traveled just over 400 feet and came to a stop where you see the glass on the ditch bank. 1st responders came from 10 miles away and when they arrived he had no heart beat. They worked on him for 30 minutes and got a heartbeat then flew him from from the hospital 10 miles away to Evansville, IN. his son took him off life support at 9pm on the 23rd. He was 63 years old, 5 years older than myself. He was still working for Olney township, had 30 years in. He always told me he was going to work till the day he died. And he did. Last picture is my taco sitting along the road him and I took to go to the river bottoms on a regular basis. Going to miss him. We drank allot of Budweiser together back in the day.

Picture of Jeff sitting in the backhoe with his great niece on his lap.

This picture is where he 1st hit the ditch.

And about 400 feet later where he came to a stop.

Looking back north from the above photo to where he had traveled after entering the ditch.

My taco looking back from where he entered the ditch. My truck is on the apposite side of the road from accident site.

So sorry for your loss. I lost one of my Grandfather's on 12/22/70 when I was 10. Buried him on Christmas Eve. Was a difficult Christmas that year. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I got my bed stiffiners installed today from @Tttacodan. Very happy with the quality of them at about half the price of the big companies. I picked this set up for $65 shipped because of a blemish that is hardly noticeable. The instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. Lost a chunk of my pinky having a slip torquing down the bolts but that just adds to the memories. I’d definitely reach out to Dan if you are looking for new stiffies.
