OD cover.

 

Found a way of installing lights on my rack without drilling. I used 2 shelving pieces that had holes pre drilled, like these:

Bought some flat black spray paint,

And now they look like this;

So I can mount these:

I had to re-drill the holes just slightly larger, other than that, super simple concept. That is if you don't mind using zap straps :)

I have 2 more of these For the rear 2 corners. The idea is that since I can swivel them they can be used into any direction.

 

I have a 17" LED bar as well that I don't feel I need now after seeing how much light these put out but I will probably still mount it. There's no kill like overkill! Stay tuned my friends...

Love those trailer wheels. :aok:

 

Quick question, does any of those rear accessories rattle around in the back? Like the Axe or flashlight? I've been contemplating doing what Offtourroadie did and mounting some of the stuff i have but on the back tail gate.

Only concern is the weight and rattling around. I have a 10" sub facing right at the back wall (and before anyone asks, NO i'm not the jerk who drives around annoying everyone with my bass, most of the time, sometimes its fun, :lmao:). And rattles drive me insane. I've thought about getting a new piece from Rob or from a yard, and then fiberglassing the back area to give some more structure.

 

So yeah, does any of that rattle much?

No rattles from any of mine. I thought about the tail gate too, but the weight of the axe alone was too much for the gate to lift open by itself. So that was not an option. I really like where where I have my maglite and fire extinguisher. And axe I might add. All out of the way, yet very accessible. Only thing I had to do was was re-inforce the liner as the weight was pulling it out slightly.

 

One more consideration, you will hit your head on the shovel or whatever you hang there if you are average height or a bit on the talk side.

Ohhhhhhh good point. I hit my head on that tail gate without and crap on it. Dangit. I was really digging that idea. Plus I wanted to add a machete too! Lol

 

Looks like you saved me from being accidently being scalped! Lol

 

Either way, I might mount my 6 D LED mag similarly to you. Thanks for the tips.

Where did you pick up the seat cover from?

Love your truck. One of the leading inspirations for mine. ?

Also nice to see a CF member here too. I was a reservist in the Canadian Scottish Regiment some 20+ years ago.

Thanks for your service!

It looks a bit odd in the pictures somehow. Looks better in person. But it does sit a bit far out. I definitely need to upgrade to HD springs in the rear now as this is quite a bit of weight added to the rear and I basically lost my 2" lift with the added weight.

Developed a whole new love for it since I lowered my rack. Looks sooooo much better. Plus the tire carrier, awesome!! Just some PDA for my Pathy.
