Switch out 12v bulb for 24v bulb. Done-zo.

Gun rack problem solved. That Big Sky rack is a great option. The guns seem very secure.

I had the same rack in both a 45 and 75 Series. It’s kinda funny that even when folks look in the window they don’t look up.

Are you even allowed to own firearms anymore sir? Didnt you cut your teeth on a gallager carbine?

In Southern Georgia it’s unlawful to not own a firearm.

It's not a gallager, but it is short and easy to get in and out of the cruiser. Pay no attention to the lever. I am just checking a few things before I do some prarie gunsmithing to it.

Snorkel is in! Now all the other kids will know I can cross a pond if I need to. I don't have the balls to drill holes in my fender. I had my new friends at A Rusted Development in Kamas UT help me out. Jake and his team are great folks and they know their s***.

A couple of project trucks and a working girl in my hood.

I suck at the internets.
Here are those pictures... From December... Bird season took over and I stopped posting here. More to come, I've done some work on my truck.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

Winch.
DV12 from Come Up. It is all wired up now and works. It's kind of huge. I hope that doesn't become an issue down the line....

 

[Mr Rockwell]

Do not tell my wife how much she loves me this year. She will divorce me.
There is a dirty animal in the background. Also my dog.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

The Odd Iron recovery points are great. Unfortunately, the beef dog winch will not allow for a LH recovery point.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

The lights look good. They do not work just yet. The switch is here, just not wired up yet.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

Fire extinguisher. I like this mounting option. Heres a link.

Amazon product ASIN B07QBPMLRP

 

[Mr Rockwell]

I made up this roll-bar-mounted first aid kit. I figured I would tailor this FAK for roll-overs and other trail-related injuries. I have added a few things like sunscreen and medications since this bag dump pic.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

This fits my truck and my state.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

There is another 70 series in my town! I met this guy, good dude. 1987 JDM rig, bought "straight off the boat" in Seatle this year.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

The CB project took a turn for the weird. As we got under the dashboard, we found this strange black box wired into the ignition. Upon a quick check here on MUD, it turns out to be an ignition kill box of some sort. Likely a dealer installed security device. We chose to place it gently back where we found it. When the fog lamps get their switch put in, the black box of doom will get removed. We had little trouble getting the CB wired up. I like that it is not dangling but I worry boys and dogs will beat the poor little electronic thing to death mounted on the console. I might crochet a coozy for it.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

New bumper! This is the Cruiser Outfitters 70series bumper. Well worth the wait. Install was not for the faint of heart, but it was very doable in a weekend. Pictures below.

 

[Mr Rockwell]

There was a pesky hole where some old antenna was. I looked up a few part numbers and found some sweet deals on some OEM plumbing parts at Home Depot. Hole is plugged and my CB antennae will not bounce off of the FRP top. I found out that Rustoleum is just like a powder coating. It looks way less suspicious when "powder coated".

 

[Mr Rockwell]

Can carrier before and after powder coating and plate light wiring. I may switch to a double can carrier. Tune in next week.
