What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Today, I removed the OEM roof rails from my 4Runner, and loaded up with parts for the Prinsu rack and Gobi ladder. We're doing three of them, so might not get to mine tomorrow, but I'm ready if we do!

Finally got my "made from scratch" trailer out on its maiden voyage last weekend. Very happy with it

Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!
Awesome, I'm in the process of converting a 3.5x5 utility now.

Installed and wired up the new 2017 raptor style grille in my 05 f150. Been drawing up the letters free hand to cut out of aluminum and put on the grille next. Here is the template.

I would say make it bigger, but honestly it looks good with just nothing as well. Amber lights looks good.
 
Finished National Luna 60L Twin Compartment Fridge/Freezer install in the F450 camper. Fridge fits near perfectly in the Q-cab; easy access to controls and contents, and removal from the truck, if need be.

Two sides of the airflow vents are completely unobstructed, the rear facing side was blocked by seat back padding. Created an airflow barrier against the seat back padding, using 2 larger polyurethane cutting boards. 1" spacers between the two boards, holes drilled, to keep air moving to the compressor.

Wow now thats pretty BA how much did you save building rather than buying?

Probably cost moreLOL. I did it cause there wasn't really a trailer with the wheelbase of my Hummer. Lot of work, but I got everything I wanted

This evening I reassembled my np203 range box in preparation to build my doubler. I'm waiting on a few more parts to complete the actual doubler, then I'll figure out my shifting linkage and the all important 4l80e rebuild. It's getting closer and closer!

Havent done anything but drive today but my high lift and quick fist mounts from relentless fabrication arrived today while I'm at work so that is defiantly going in this weekend.

I also want to mount my cb. Not 100% sure where right now.

Today I went to a friend's house where three of us were installing our Prinsu Full-Length Roof Rack on our 4Runners. We got two of the three done, as well as mounting my Gobi ladder. While we were there, two other 4Runners showed up and helped with the install.

The first one took a while, as we made extra sure we were doing everything correct, measuring twice, etc. The second took much less time, and the third should as well when we get to it.

Photos of mine tomorrow (if it isn't raining)

Thanks Mike, @JMFP!, @Wide Five Aaron, and other Mike!
