continuing to work on my storage box, taking more time then I intended for it to, but workign 60 hrs per week and life in general really cut into time to work on it. Also, only having a one car garage and the damn heat lately has made it hard to work on it for very long. The basics of the box...

I really hate backup camera's (I guess it comes from so many years driving semi's and backing with mirror's only), but I really like your idea especially for trail use.

definetly, don't trade her off. There is so much potential there. I really miss my '81 RC. I swapped out the tired 318 for a fresh 360, even here at altitude I was getting 13 to 14 mpg. I built a custom center console for it, and really wanted to do more when life intervened. I bought my...

thanks man, since this is my DD, it has to do definite double duty and be reliable on all ends. It's been a slow build, but I've pretty much decided that unless I get a smoking offer on the truck I really really want, this one has a lifetime (it's or mine) commitment. Even with 119K it's still...

had to scrap 50% of my storage box build up and start over, was working on a pull out table idea for it, but when I did the Urethane on it, the wood swelled too much and totally ruined the base. Today my table saw burned up while cutting so, I'm even further behind, had to buy a new sheet of...

I need that setup for my Dakota

I'd like to get a really good deal on some synthetic 11/32 winch line, say about 100'. 4 Wheel Parts is giving a decent deal on the Smittybilt in that dimension, I'd like to see what else there is for a good price.

No, I'm in Denver. Ft. Collins 4x4 and Johns 4x4 used to rebuild them but don't anymore. Supposedly Off-Road LTD does it, but they are kinda goofy to deal with. They want me to pull my winch so they can bench test it first, but, my biggest concern is the general noise it makes, so I've asked...

yep evldave is on track (no pun intended) had a similar situation and that's what I had to do

a friend of mine has one similar to what you posted in his Ram, it's the type that reads finger prints and he has it mounted under his seat. He keeps his CCW pistol in it when going places he can't carry.

measure 3 times, cut twice, plan a trip to the lumber yard for some new plywood, oh joy, I mismeasured not once, but twice

A little dress-up under the hood I did Billet battery hold down and t-handles

so wait, let me get this correct, I spend $50,000 + on a truck that is supposed to be driven hard, from the factory, and I have to spend another $1,500 +/- to have a special aftermarket piece installed to fix what is technically a factory defect? Um, NO!!!!! Note to Ford, if your claiming this...

I have a Mile Marker that needs similar loving attention, no one in my area works on winches to even take a look at it.

try one of the 4wd shops in your area, maybe someone will fabricate for you

The grill guard/winch mount is Manik, not sure if they are totally out of business or bought out. Try Tactical Armor Group (formerlly Kennesaw), I priced out a bumper from them at around $1,000 shipped. Yeah, my lights are mounted on my Yakima rack, it's been off for the last several months...

So, I've started building my storage box, it's going to be a bit of a long process to build: 1. because I hate the heat and it's too hot to work on it in mid-day, 2. have to fit it into the budget as I go along, thankful for a mid-year bonus to get me started on it, 3. I have to work on it...

yeah, I've had that happen before on a previous vehicle, actually, the base for my bumper mount bike rack obscures more of the plate and makes me more of a target to the cops, but, knock on wood, three trips Colo. to Ohio and one to Tx. as well as 3 trips in Canada, in 10 yrs, never a problem.

well, let me ask this where do you plan to carry the cooler? I use a large Igloo powered cooler that plugs into a cig. lighter. I ran two cig. plugs off a dedicated fuse block into the bed of my pickup under my topper, I can then plug anything into them that I want. When the truck is running...
