I agree with this. But still, well done

Yea I had to cut those lights in. I got them at my local trailer supply store. Wasn't too hard really and being that the other back up lights were in the tail gate already made wiring the new ones easy.

Ha ha thanks for the compliment. I run around all the time in my runner, love it. Its not to hard to build your own and It's way cheaper then buying one of the 500+ dollar ones. By next year I plan on long arm extending the front and putting a t100 rear on widen it out and make it more baja capable.

Yea I should have powder coated it. Ohh well I'll just shake that 95 cent paint can once in a while.

@Court: I dont think I'll be able to find a good long travel for very cheap. But it's one of those things that I would really like done right so I am willing to save up for it.

That thing looks great man. I plan on building one very similar to it. Only issue I'm running into is how to mount it, cause i got the pickup with no pre existing mounts on the roof. Any ideas?

Well Yakima sells the towers for naked roofs (which are spendy as F***). Or you can just pull a system off a 4runner and screw on the tracks? Looks like you have a Xtra cab so you might take some measurements to see if those 4runner tracks might fit.

Only other option I can think of atm is making a headache rack that has a rack off of it.
