Doug-
Thanks for the comments about the cargo area. Oddly enough I'm about to do 3.0 of that evolution over the next few months. Same kinda theme as before but maximizing some things while also keeping rear ac on this truck. Will be updating the thread here at some point as it comes into shape.

Now I'm intrigued by this mirror...I've got a DII mirror in mine that the PO didn't wire in-but when we put the 2m in I lost my front courtesy light so that might be a good mod to throw in.

Let me know what you end up doing. I have the black 96 Se7 that you helped her with @ MAR and have removed the rear jumps and my back door has no pockets so the back of the truck is a blank canvas. Like to retain the ability for the shepard to ride back there

Haha, Mine has been "leaky" since the day I bought it. I don't even notice it anymore. I actually have a D2 mirror all set to install. I got it for free on here from Chazz Layne. It's nice because there's nothing to leak and it has the built-in compass. The only reason I didn't install was because I'd lose my Map lights.
Mickey, if you want it its all yours. Otherwise someone else can have it. Might as well pay it forward.

Brett,just saw this.Sorry for delayed reaction.Has someone else taken you up on this?If not,be more than happy to cover shipping and then reciprocate in kind for other goods or services.Let me know.

Cool. I'll probably try to document this version a little better as it comes together and will post back here on my stale build thread. Something else you could consider is my old setup is in PA (Randy has the old Coyote hulk). That should have the diamond plate for the right and left rear panels (gives you a little more room on either side) as well as that shelf setup that I had which is sized to let the rear seats fold down and be nearly even plane. Could use new carpet on the wood as a refresh, but last I saw of it it was ok. I did get the gas/h2o can holder from Randy not too long ago but that's easy to source.

However if you do decide to wait Feb/Mar I'll be doing that build, and it should include some interesting new features that may facilitate keeping the dog in the back and such.

That front bumper is gorgeous. Detailed pictures for me, please!

Best mod that came with the truck is the front bumper the PO built

Was the grill cut for that particular model winch or would it need to be cut regardless of winch model?

 

[franko]

Umm from the picture it looks like it was cut to fit the winch..
Wild guess on my part

 

[t42beal13t]

Not too familiar with different winches so I didn't know if they would all need similar cuts.

 

[Ray_G]

Because of the the placement of the winch on the bumper, i.e. recessed to tuck it back against the truck, it required cutting the grill. That saudi-esque grill was post solenoid relocation, I'll dig up a shot of what the stock grill looked like while the solenoid was still on there too. My previous truck had an RTE bumper on it (same winch) which also had a cut grill b/c of the size of the solenoid and such.
