MS33601 Is the spec for the track, I saved it a while ago in case I wanted to make some custom inserts. I used it in place of the thin sheet metal tracks in my tundra, and have 2 more tracks ready to mount to the top of the platform I plan to build. Great job on the build, your fabrication...

I'm not sure exactly how much a 16 foot boat weighs, but the 22RE powered trucks I've been in had a good time geting moving on their own, let alone towing a few thousand lbs. You could easily get into an early model tacoma or T100 for $5k, the 3.4 liter V6 would handle the 33's and weight of...

I use the same jack, had it for 6 years and it has held up well.

Looks like del city has a 15% coupon code until 10/31: WRD1015

www.waytekwire.com and www.delcity.com are my go-to sources. www.mouser.com has a larger selection and sometimes better prices, but more minimum quantity restrictions.

No difference from 2013-2014.

Or how about the 2 foot tall bumper?

May be worth checking into a local credit union, should be able to do a LOT better than 4.25% right now. I am really not a fan of financing through the dealer.

You havent priced a comparable diesel truck new lately, have you? Crew cab 4x4, you're probably looking at $50k for a ram, more for a ford or chevy.

I vote for using them for wine :)

If you want posh, stop by the patagonia headquarters in Ventura :) Just down the street is Real Cheap Sports, good place to find patagucci at a discount. There's a place called Santa Barbara Outfitters that carries good quality camping gear, but don't go looking for a bargain there. REI just...

Nice truck, got a build thread on it anywhere?

Is the scangauge system car specific, or could you get one for any vehicle that used a 5.3 and get all of the aux info (trans temps, etc)? Not as pretty of an interface as a tablet and the torque app. Dang, that would be cool for my Scout 80 application except I'm pre-OBDII. Will definitely...

I looked back on how I've used my truck over the last few years, and came to realize I've hauled exactly one thing that I would have had to remove the campoer shell for, which I can easily rent/borrow a utility trailer for, so the decision towards a hard camper shell was obvious for me. MTB...

Unless you really don't care about body damage, I can't see wheeling a 2nd gen tundra on anything hard enough to require a solid front axle. Any trail I can think of is going to be way too narrow for a truck this wide and long. I'd trade the truck for a 4x4, then see what type of trails you...

Southco makes similar latches: http://www.southco.com/en-us/c5/c5-21-15 Many other versions available. Not sure of distribution channels.

Just an updated picture of the new truck with the camper shell in place, taken at the summit of McKenzie pass during my road trip last week. Truck performed flawlessly, the dogs like their playpen.

Yea I can see how it would cost that much to build a truck like ICON does in small quantities, just can't imagine every paying that much for any vehicle. I figure you're a jeep guy, hence using a jeep based aqualu tub, but did you consider doing a land cruiser version? You're not using much...

Occurred to me you're basically building a jeep version of a Icon FJ43 :) http://icon4x4.com/overview/fj/gallery/by-model/fj43

My thoughts from my similar but different Scout 80 build: The 5.3 Chevy is a great truck motor. I'm starting with a TBI 350 for simplicity sake, if I don't decide to go with a 4DB1T or similar turbodiesel I'll eventually swap out the 350 for a 5.3. One of my goals for my truck is to have it...
