Replied. Thanks.

It was my first experience with a winch and I never actually got to use it for a recovery so it's hard to judge. That said, it seems like a great winch. It might not have the fastest line pull or the most silent motor, but most of that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Winch sold. Thanks. I don't think I'll be installing a winch again for a while so it's time for this to go. Here's the deal, the truck it was on was involved in a front end wreck and the winch hasn't been tested since. It looks like it avoided any real damage, but I'm no expert and again it...

I just home built one of these because I didn't want to pay 200 bucks for one, but that's a great price. How about a local pickup? Also, if interested I have a Rigid A-series 48003 light with an angled mounting kit if you'd be interested in a trade.

That has me thinking.. Something a bit custom though, since mine is already so tall. I'd have the rear vertical support reach just below the height of the topper and remain open above. The forward support could arch over the lower front and extend a low profile cargo tray over the rear of the...

Yeah, I wouldn't mind something like that. Also thought about a rack over the cab matching the height of the topper, but I like the idea of something that makes use of the sides. I never really used a roof rack enough to justify it.

Got the bumper finished up and back together. There's a few spots I need to touch up, but I like the end result. Pics soon... One of the other things on my "to do" list is potentially figure out a means of protecting the angled front and upper curved sides of the topper. These areas tend to...

This must weigh a ton.. So much dirt and rock came out of here it was ridiculous. More holes! Spent about an hour hitting the chrome with the sander using 200 grit. Took it down to a good dull finish that should hold some paint.

I think for brand recognition and simplicity, it's best to keep the exterior design minimal and as complete as possible. I guess you could look at it like a work truck version and a fully loaded edition, both can look pretty similar on the outside. Better comparisons are found in the popup truck...

One of these days I'd like to purchase a trailer like this. I don't have the means to build one myself from scratch, so I'd prefer a basic no frills model to customize to my needs without all the added expense for stuff I can do. Making it mine is the part of the build I really enjoy doing. This...

Woah.. Thanks guys, I don't really expect those kind of compliments on my build. It's appreciated. I pretty much look at the truck each morning and try to figure out what I might be able to accomplish next from the very small to large task. Wednesday I took the doors down and painted them...

Things are coming together... I wanted a good but not overly blinding work light that would be relatively low profile. I'm hoping this does the trick, but I'm not sure of the ideal mounting spot. Anyone used this type of light before? I figure in the middle top of the door might work best...

That's actually just a nice waterproof plug cover that I used to make an access spot for running a propane hose through when using my heater. Here's how my camera is setup as of today. There's two wired up, one is actually running all the time through a rear view mirror monitor and the other...

Getting a bit crazy with the hole saw lately... But, I had some ideas. Awning is still flush with the roof line, but remounted on a piece of 1x1x46" aluminum tube freeing up a lot of space above the door. Removed the third brake light and made ideal backup camera positioning. Additional...

Glad you came to your senses. Haha. I think you would really missed that one once it was gone. Too much of your own sweat into it making it what it is.

Looks and sounds like a museum piece. If you ever stopped by Stapp Toyota off i25 they keep a few vintage Toyota models on display. Perhaps they may have an interest.

Sorry, no pics at the moment. It's really dead simple to install. The hardest part is finding a place to put the unit that allows you to run the wiring easily and plump the hoses to the washer lines. I decided to bolt it on the inside of the passenger fender and ran the wires around the...

Fold up table Inspired by those fancy fold up JK tailgate tables, I put this together with about 25 bucks worth of hardware and some bits and pieces from the garage. It still needs a bit further refinement, but I think it came out alright for something I threw together in an afternoon. 6'...

Keeping my fridge above freezing would be nice. I'm wondering if a small low wattage heater could be implemented somewhere. Something like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261457005932 I have an older DC Thermal 12v heater that uses quartz tubes, but haven't been able to really test it out yet...

Haha.. I had no idea how bad it actually was, but it was bad. I was getting sick of everyone yelling at me... Just in time to hear all that holiday music extra loud and clearly.
