Corner shot. It came with a little body damage on the bed so I don't feel too bad when I put more on it.


Front shot. ARB and warn 6000lb, the hook is tied on with a knot gotta fix that one. Actually I'd like to go with a synthetic cable, then I could take off that roller fairlead, maybe even cut and grind off that big fairlead truss on the front for a cleaner look. (any suggestions or experience here?) I'll probably be relocating the solenoid box to a more hidden location too.


Brand new YOKs. 31x10.5.15 on stock steelies.


Back corner. I REALLY NEED a new rear bumper. Hope I can find one that compliments the ARB. (suggestions anyone?)


Bed. The guy I bought it from was a carpenter, he designed and built this bed storage system. Several removable lids made of 3/4" plywood covered in HERCULINER! I love it. I can load it up with camping crap and still sleep back there.

My partner in crime. "When are we going Wheelin?!"

 

Welcome to the site... your Wallet and truck will never be the same again.... nice truck and cute pup you got there.

 

nice lookin truck. i dig the storage system in the bed.

 

thats cool

 

Good stuff!
Looks like you bought a hell of a truck there.

 

nice rig, that rear storage thing looks like its got a lot of potential

 

that storage setup is like what i have drawn up on a peice of paper somewhere around here..........


anyways, mine won't go that high, maybe a foot deep, the whole length and width of the bed. im planning on a possible drawer system or just as you have, lids. but that depends on whether i decide to take out the gas tank and run a fuel cell in the back, and have my spare where the tank was (lid would be the way then), or mount a tire holder in the bed, thus leaving me with drawers.

 

Nice looking taco.

Whats your location brother ?

 

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm going to try not to sink my life savings into this one if I can. I do want to do a few things to it though. Lockers front and rear would be cool, since I don't have any suspension mods planned, and I definitely need some armor to match the ARB: rock skidders, a decent rear bumper that comes around to protect my butt, and some better skid plating. Other than that I'm pretty satisfied with the truck.

The bed storage system was a pretty cool selling point for the truck, the only thing I don't like about it is the lids don't lock down, so a big bump makes a big racket. If anyone wants better pics of how it works just let me know and I'll post some when I get a chance.

I Just Updated my profile, etc. I didn't realize I was posting without anybody seeing anything about me.

I'm from Shreveport, Louisiana. There's a few places to get into trouble here locally, but the closest place for me to do any "real" wheeling is Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer, TX. I had a blast when I went there w/ my Trooper. If anyone ever wants to go, all you have to do is give me a holler and I'll do what I can to get there.

Do I have any other North Louisiana/ East Texas Bretheren on this list?

 

Very nice looking truck, makes me want a new front bumper and a winch. I like the bed storage idea.

It's pre-taco.

 

that dog is SWEEEEEEET.
