Got my KB Voodoo ProMax lockers in. High quality and very handy to add great cargo space for heavy things or whatever. Btw I have discount codes if you like KB Voodoo racks or bed bars. They work with tonneau covers as well A3D8FA0F-ECD3-4779-BC3C-063394672E00.jpegCF97D5F6-FAFD-4563-BF73-87FB98E05DF5.jpeg739061D4-6116-46C0-BE11-62B89F3716E9.jpegB5B611F9-A933-42AA-9116-1A560A0DA43A.jpeg4B5EF8BD-DAAD-4880-96A0-08C41A05B49C.jpeg1F406504-DDCB-41B4-92CC-DCFB7A27B1C6.jpegFF9C868E-35BE-4C29-810E-1F4639D562C7.jpeg

Not exactly today, but this week:

- Cut the battery clamps off of my Viair compressor, installed Anderson plug. Ran wires from the battery in behind the grill with an Anderson plug as well. Basically a QD attachment for my air compressor so I don’t have to fool with popping the hood.

- Installed my ProEagle Jack and cradle onto my Decked drawer system. I use the Decked Yakima/T-slot tracks to mount my fridge slide and the ProEagle cradle. Had a lot machine shop slot out the bolt holes to have some room for adjustment for the cradle.

- Had the same shop slot out the bolt holes for my Alu-Cab tilting fridge slide. The holes were off just enough to cause some binding while trying to use the slide.

That is a GREAT idea w/the Anderson plugs for the Viair.
Thanks for that great idea!
Unfortunately, ProEagle's Largest Capacity Jack - 3-Tons - isnt quite enough for my rig...bummer.

A 3ton Jack is enough for your ram 3500. You’re only lifting a single corner, not the entire truck

I took a 30 minute job and found out it turned into a 3 hour job of just installing a simple set of ABS guards on my 4runner.

The front was super easy, bolt out, guard on, bing-bang... The rears were a nightmare!!! -- No room to get any sized wrench on it and the da#$)* bolt would not thread properly to save a mule on a train carrying a sack of gold... just annoying.. My left hand looks like I was in a bar fight - knuckle busting... The videos always look so dang easy....

Anywho - got them threaded * I use the word lightly as more in then out... hope I never need to replace those darn abs sensors...

Awesome idea for the air compressor. Might have to borrow that.
