I had some spare time today so I trimmed the rear bumper cover from the tires to the metal brackets and I also took the black evap canister and located it sideways behind the front frame crossmember. Was pretty simple as I just took some spare rubber hose in different sizes and extended the stock ones to fit. Came out alright I think. I will get pics taken and posted up tomorrow.
I acquired a chuck box for my camp kitchen today. I'm so stoked. It has 5 small drawers for silverware and what not on top, a large drawer on the bottom that my two burner stove fits in and long handled utensils. The main compartment has my coffee purcolator and large pots and pans along with plates and bowls. The box is made of aluminum so It will never rust. Pics to follow.
I spent some time in the shop today and found out my new chuck box fits in the back on top of the rear deck under the metal shelf. My youngest son/expo buddy was askin if it fit and it does. I also built a shelf underneath to store my folding camp table. It sits on top of my parts/fluid rubbermaid packer and the crate bin that has my 3 tool bags in it. Ill try to get pics up tomorrow.
Depending on how far you are on the roof rack, you may want to remove the factory rack in its entirety and just use the mounting holes. It worked out pretty good for us!
I got my roof rack finished up and mounted. I mounted a small ammo can for tow strap/recovery gear. Also have a hilift and spare tire mount. Came out good I think. I also put together a passenger side awning. I used some poles and the canvas support system from a pop up camper I stripped out recently. Only expense was a 5.00 6x8 tarpaulin. I'm looking for a green one as the blue one doesn't match my rig. Its mounted to the roof rack. It came out really decent I think. Pics to follow.who is handing out free GPS units?
