    Introducing the "Overland Junk Drawer"

    Oh, now that's pretty darn nice. I usually collect different range bags and what not to organize my gear. That looks pretty flippin' sweet and could replace them all. Can you put "tactical" or "extreme" in the description, too? ;)

    Working on my setup

    This looks outstanding! You did a terrific job and could probably market these overhead consoles. I agree with you... wrapping the surface with batting and then covering the wood with a fabric material like the headliner, cordura, or vinyl will soften it's appearance and mask any imperfections...

    Rear tire carrier mounted camp/work light build

    Really? Cool! I like it and use it more than I thought I would; next I want to extend the wiring so I can switch it in the cab too. Let me know and I'll swing by so you can check it out. Be sure to mention it to IPOR - they can give me a call.

    Rear tire carrier mounted camp/work light build

    I'm not skilled enough to take night picks with my PAS camera, but 1350 lumen, whatever that means. To put it in plain terms Mike, it's been observed about the light in operation, "that's freakin' bright," "retina-searing," "hey, turn off that light - it hurts my eyes," and, "that's so bright...

    Rear tire carrier mounted camp/work light build

    Part I. Inspired by other threads from this forum we built a light for the rear bumper swing-out tire carrier for my Tacoma that's been working flawlessly for the last 9 months of travel and use this past season. Special thanks to Iron Pig Off Road and Vince (Skrewball) whose skill translates...
