Awesome build!
How about a set of the sliders? I want a set for my power wagon I just bought when money allows...

Rock sliders are on the list of things to do. Unfortunately I am going to run out of time before my trip. When I get back I am having a local fab shop work up a design that I have drawn up.
Back in the day I was all about wheeling my lifted jeep and loved that it was nimble and could go anywhere. Im building this truck with the mindset that ultimately it will be the tow vehicle with off road capability. Until I procure the other vehicles, this one will have to do. I know its not a short wheel base so I will have my own challenges on the trails but that is ok. A lot of times you can get around what you need to and if at the end of the day I can't then I just do go there.
So the local crane/lifting shop did not have the 1", 8.5T Crosby shackles so I went with the 8.5Ton Chicago Shackles
Very nice. I'm digging the style of your build. Looks like a work horse! [emoji106]

Ditto... REALLY liking what you are doing with it. Looks great and very practical.

Now that's clever! I've never seen a roof top basket used as a bed slide before. Very neat!
I was lacking the time to finish the box drawer before my trip. At least this way, I can put all of my stuff in the box and it stays safe with the tailgate up and locked.
Well, my trip was amazing and the time away was much needed... now its back to the grind here. A couple notes from the trip. I really wish I had the drawers done. Those would have been so much more fun than trying to grab stuff from the bed of the truck. 2. I found my camp stove... pics to follow. I will be incorporating the stove into the drawer systems. I think next on the list of things to do is going to be installing new gears. The 3.73's on 37's didn't prove well on the gas mileage. Looking to upgrade to 4:10s. The rock rails are a must... those are high on the list of things to get done. Beyond that. A couple little things. Tune the CB antenna, install a Titan Fuel Tank for the spare, complete a couple hard mounts for gear and I think I will be good to go!
