Almost done with the bumper kit from SSO.

After picking up an Iceco vl45 on there black Friday sale, I finally decided it was time to break down and finish the "battery ina'box" that I had been using. Last year sometime I had picked up a Victron Mppt solar charge controller and some other parts. but it was a low priority project and I...

Made a set of brackets to mount a small solar panel to my roof rack I started with some.1.5"x1.5" aluminum angle that I sliced up into 2" pieces. Mounting holes where then drilled. The parts where powder coated matte black to match the roof rack. T

little housing I designed to mount some cheap RGBW rock lights to the side of my roof rack from upTOP Overland. I want the option for white light, or amber for bug control, and possibly red or green depending on the situation, and the system they have does not yet meet that need of mine...

I drew up a little mounting tab. these will be used with the 80/20 extrusion on the rack(s), to help secure zip ties for bundling future wiring for both my roof rack and the bed rack. they will be laser cut from 18 gauge (.040) Aluminum Did a rough cardboard mockup of the zip tie tabs. but...

A rough design of version one of a bed rack that I am working on

A little something I put together for the front of the truck bed. Back from the laser cutter, from design to reality less than 6 days Had to slot the mounting holes since My measurements was off by about 1 cm. I also updated the cad model to put a bit of a radius in at the bottom corners

Airing down tires for traction is an old trick that is used by many looking to gain traction. Airing down each tire on its own, and then airing it back up can be faster with a 4 way setup. I recently made this setup based on the following video. with a slight change, I made the Gauge and...

This thread is to document the build that someday may happen to my new 2019 Toyota Tacoma ORD Offroad 4x4. I retired the Cherokee recently after it hit 301,000 miles, not because it was not reliable, but it does need a new exhaust and power steering pump. and It is time for it to get some work...
