The space is for the bed of the truck. It was raced in the "full size stock truck class" which required a bed. There are actually small bungs welded on each of the four corners of all the plates to sit down in the ribs of the bed. It was the cleanest way to make the rear section removable that I...

They were gifted to me by a friend, I'll try to figure out where to get some. Thank you! I personally like the zj for the rear coil springs, but they are both great choices! Thank you John! I have been welding for a lot of years, but I still have a long way to go :) I am confident that the...

Addition to the Wife's Kitchen cont. Well all, I have taken your advice. I decided to mount the table paralell to the slide out. I am very happy to have listened to you all on this one, as I ran into a situation that I needed to squeeze in between the slide out and fold down table to grab some...

I picked up some spring loaded pins, but I am kind of happy with the over center clamps for the moment, simple, and rattle free! hahahah, I wish I could put some of this stuff into production. If only I had the resources to manage such an endeavor. Thanks for the kind words regardless :)

Epic work there Kyle! I'll pull you guys through the nasty stuff and you can laugh when you pass me while I stop at every gas station :) hoping to see you guys tomorrow. G

Addition to the Wife's Kitchen cont. The end result offers the wife a place to put pans that come off the stove. Putting them on the wood would not work out so well. We are also thinking about adding a sink to this table area, likely the folding fabric version from Grub Hub. We will see how...

The only thing left was to add the struts and the locking system. I realized that the top was going to rattle unless I placed some rubber bushings in place to keep it from doing so. I picked up a couple of rubber bushings from the local hardware store and immediately threw them in the freezer...

Addition to the Wife's Kitchen cont. When I mocked up the table on the bumper I imediately had several concerns. First and foremost... I did not want to have additional rattles. If I mounted this thing improperly it would chafe and destroy the aluminum as well as annoy the "you know what" out...

It is something I have been thinking about for a long time! As far as larger propane tanks, I haven't considered that yet. We have been making due with the little Coleman versions. I imagine a larger tank would be great for longer trips!

Addition to the Wife's Kitchen I have been eyeballing the swing out spare tire mount ever since we completed it. I finally asked the wife if she could use a little more counter space while she is cooking out in the field. Of course she said yes, and that gave me the green light to get creative...

haha! That is what this forum is all about. I can't tell you how many time I stopped dead in my tracks after reading about how I was on a path of peril from someone elses experiences. I have come to appreciate what this forum is about, and happily share my experiences. Thanks for reading...

Rock the Poison Spyder Rock Brawler, it is an awesome bumper. Lots of guys I know have them, and they are perfect!

Good call on the tape! I guess I could have asked before I dove in LOL. I know exactly what you mean about the pivoting parts. I'll figure something out! I have some cool latches, but I am afraid I won't get them lined up correctly :) I'll be googling this for sure, but for another purpose! My...

Welcome to the party! Looking forward to checking out your build :)

Yes, they are the diffused versions. I was just looking for some extra night light. Nothing like waking up in the morning to realize you have set up camp the night before on the world's largest red ant hill :) These are a great buy for the $$. I have a suspicion that these will do the job a bit...

Storage Solution Cont. With the box out, I could mount the new additions I mounted the passenger side flap with 3 hinges for some reason the drivers side flap was warped, so I had to use 4 hinges on that side. It was longer, so not a big deal... I was just grumpy because I like...

Storage Solution Cont. As expressed earlier, I tend to have 3-4 project going all the time on this vehicle. One of those projects was to finish the storage system in the back of the Jeep. It still isn't 100% (is anything ever 100%?), but I thought I would share. I was bothered by the look of...

Thank you for the kind words! I am actually very impressed with the SRM Rigid lights, they are the perfect amount of light to see everything around the vehicle for about 50'. Any more than that and they would be obnoxious. I will admit, I will likely have to move them a little, as I have to look...

OH YA, I am all to familiar with that little mechanism LOL. Looks like your is in it's proper place. Mine was only held in by the first tooth, not both :( Looking back on it, it had to be my fault :( Very cool you checked yours! Now you can go forth with confidence :)

Ya, it wasnt the most pleasant of experiences, I was just glad to sort it out. It would be a good idea to prevent the issue if possible, and doesn't take that long to access it! Good call on the sneaky wire to open it, I may take your advice there. The all thread was not fully secure in the...
