Thanks man! Ill try to get some closer pics, cant remember the name of the threaded part that is welded into the DOM but that's what the heims thread into
Thanks, I guess I just wanted to be different haha, not many guys rocking the prerunner style like this mixed with the bedrack and RTT setup. Really trying to give my truck the "Expo-PreRunner" look
HAHA! thanks dude

KMF PreRunner Tiregate Build - Final Day
Headed out to Andrew's last night to install the last addition for the gate!
Needless to say this has been a long yet very successful prototype build The Y-Bar and aluminum sleeve were the final touch! Here's some quick pics I took last night. I'll add more in the next couple days

KMF Tiregate Build
New Y-Bar installed and Swingout action
As you can see it needs to be touched up, but from the bottom of the gate under the tire, you can see there are 2 mounting points/studs for the Y-Bar to screw into. The other mount point is for when the tire is inside the bed/opposite direction from where it's shown
Only thing that may be necessary is to add some sport of spacer for the top heim joint. The tabs were welded wider than than the bottom ones to allow the gate to swing through them when the tire is flipped and mounted inside the bed. Also need to cut down the pins and find some orange plastic dip

RTT Lighting
My buddy Andrew at KMFAB also hooked up my RTT with some awesome interior lighting! Absolutely love the output from these little LED bars purchased on Amazon!:Wow1:
First off is this little box he made entirely from scratch! Drilled the holes for the switches (Ambers of course) and wires coming out of it, then worked some magic inside.
From that box, 1 wire goes along the tent to the center. Then the wire is ziptied to the center pole for the interior LED bar
Let there be LIGHT!
Zooming out shows the wire that is drilled through the bottom and silicone for the Ladder/Annex LED
And a pic from below
MOAR Light!
Going back inside the RTT, this is a 12V accessory outlet that I originally bought from amazon. Again Andrew worked magic, so the red 12V power cord that extends from my blue sea 12v sockets in my bed is wired directly into it. This keeps both accessory outlets free It also has the original power wire running over to the first box with the switches, transferring the power once the main red wire is plugged in!
Heres the main red 12V power wire running to the outside and into my bed sockets

MOAB Prep and Updates
About 4 months later I have a lot of updating to do! I have been busy with mods and the big trip to Moab, UT back in May!
After breaking another stock lower control arm, I picked up another sponsor, Dirt King Fabrication! They hooked me up with their Heimed Upper Control Arms, and their Stock Length Uniball & Boxed Lower Control Arms! Also purchased the new TOYO R/Ts in 35/12.50R17 then upgraded to Superbump Front Bumpstops and welded in some Total Chaos Cam Tab Gussets
Shortly after this Mod day, I found the infamous Skygear in Tucson! He built me one of his 5 Relay 10 Fuse, Bussmann fuse blocks aka Skygear Box! This cleaned up all my wiring under the hood for the LED lights and a few more electronics. Cant thank him enough, he truly is a master for all your aftermarket wiring needs!

T.a.Co Rock Therapy 2015 in Moab, Utah
No better way to describe an EPIC trip than with every picture I took! It was the biggest adventure I've ever been on, and definitely challenged me, but I still took this 2WD PreRunner to one of the best 4WD hotspots in the US!
Monument Valley
Area BFE
Rolled out with RebelTaco and crew to TOTW immediately after arrival in BFE
Made it to the Top! No damage and no tugs!
Just as crazy as I am!
I'll blame lack of sleep and attention for this. We left the group to get back to town and get groceries before we got really tired so I basically did the whole rest of TOTW loop by myself...in a PreRunner This ledge sucked but with the help of my hi-lift, we got out of this mess pretty easily.
