I've seen one like this on a Toyota and have thought it would be kinda nice to have a little extra storage for long trips with the family. Downside is I don't want it up there all the time. Curious to see how yours turns out.

Looking forward to Zack's headache rack as well.

probably getting paid at work to post this from my POS phone

It's going to take me a while, still waiting on the steel for the flat bed part, I've got some drawings, but I'm saving them, I want to wait till it is built before I show it off

Well I got lucky and checked once more for the location of the leak... turns out it was a cooler like had a tiny pin whole it seeping. Cut it out and replaced it with black 3/8ths hose and two clamps. Done. Instead of a $150 steering box, it cost me like $5.. very very happy now lol.

Possibility of tint and/or exhaust and stack going on tomorrow.... fingers crossed lol

Spending all this money on things I don't need to impress people I don't know. :)

Been having hard start issues when her
Planned on ripping it apart to check IPR o rings this weekend. Fast forward until yesterday. Jump started it since it was still too hot to start on its own... drove 15 mins down the highway and it randomly died as I was almost to a stop on the exit ramp... let traffic by, slid back down the ramp and to the side. Called for help, friend tugged of off the ramp into a Lowes parking lot... tried jumping it and it made no difference this time... gave up at 1130, locked up the truck and went home. I'm just so sick if one problem after another.

Alternator
Ac compressor
Belt
Engine harness
Death wobble
Starter
Massive power steering leak
Still have an oil leak
Trans issues
Both batteries
Fuel pump
Rebuilt fuel bowl

I'm just tired of one problem after another and not having time to fix it...

I have been on point for a long time, calling it, fix one problem and another will rear its head within a week. Multiple times I have been right
