Nice looking build.

Wow! Great work! Definitely subscribing to this one.. Some great stuff happening here. Keep it up.

Awesome build!

Few questions when you have time....

What LED lights did you use for the interior dome lights? The stock lights are terrible!

How do you like the OR-Fab tire gate so far?
I just ordered the gate with the 2 Rotopax cans mounted on the inside and will be installing it this coming weekend.

The interior LEDs I purchased from David at northridge4x4. They're CREE LEDs, really nice quality. I think the front and rear LEDs were like $25 shipped

The ORFAB is awesome. Quiet, strong and well built. It's a ***** to install though. You HAVE to have a small 90 degree drill. I have one of the new dewalt 20v max right angle drills and it was too big still. So that took some creative rigging to get everything together. Be prepared for a 6-8 hour install

my fresh hilift xtreme arrived today. got it mounted. rattle free.

my cherokee roof rails came the other day, but i just got them to my dads to get cleaned up and painted.

2 quick coats of rustoleum truck bed liner

Thanks for the info! I'll check out those LEDs.

Noticed the BFM sticker on the rear window! KCCO!

kcco!

my maxtrax came today

heres how the cherokee rails look with the rustoleum bed liner

my stepmom who is a quilting mastermind finished up my tank cover. we ordered 2 yards of DuPont 2000 denier Cordura fabric. we decided on a pattern and stitched it together with kevlar thread.

overkill? completely. but thats how we roll

Boy oh boy was I wrong.... Saw the first picture of your 'build' with the black matte hood sticker and thought... another Mall Cruiser 'build'

Like alot!... Well done indeed.

 

[marshal]

i thought the picture of my TJ would have been evidence enough

So is it much more cost effective to build your own powertank? I'm thinking about pricing the pieces out to see how it would compare to buy a setup from Powertank

 

[stioc]

Lots of thought process went into the planning and parts selection I'm sure- nice work and looks great :victory: even with the power-puff blue :elkgrin:

I saved about $100 in the end

Please please please, it's powDer puff blue

 

[PGT]

great build! I'm a bit in awe at how perfectly circular your tape job was on the headlight black trim. :wings: Did you use something to guide you?

 

[marshal]

Nope. Just eyeballed it. Human eye can see a variance of 1/32 of an inch

 

[08Silverado]

What did you have to pay for the tank itself?
