As soon as I seen your plates I was going to msg you. Buddy from Slovakia sent me mine but they took a month to get here. I have an extra one you can have

I just used the existing holes and screws. Now I just have to figure out how to run it legally.

ok, I may just punch some holes. Plastic will not survive FOO's wrath.

I need something cool to put in the license plate holder on the forward ARB. Any ideas ?

I wonder how hard this would be to make

I wonder how hard it would be to lift that.....

Jose was going to do that, but then decided not to.

I like those gas cans on it. seem to really have a positive locking method.

Did Jose not end up doing it? I thought he had the swing out and down modified into his 4x4 labs rear? Agreed though, on our trucks, dropping that to get into the liftgate wvery time would be a huge PITA.

Thought that was why Jose did the swing out, but then the drop down for the spare.

 

[SammyT96LX450]

I follow that guy on Instagram and he said lifting it was no problem. I'm still debating. In the planning stages.......

i've been thinking about a fold down myself. i think if it mounts underneath maybe the back side of the hitch. but my hitch is high so a few inches below wouldn't hurt clearance for me. tire on top for crawling if the few inches is needed. i've only got it in my head at this point. was thinking about a spring assist or even air maybe if i can.

Brakes are done. I used the trail gear kit on the nut and lock washer. It took me 4 hours. First time. Not bad. Now I can do them in less then half that.

 

[half k cruiser]

In the time it took you to do your brakes I ......

Took a nap, made lunch, watched Vikings, then changed all the brakes on my Honda

That's sort of a joke, but in all honesty the brakes on these trucks are a pain. I did the 94 back in January when it was a balmy 34 outside.

 

[2fpower]

That trail gear kit seems to be getting good reviews. you have any thoughts to add?

 

[SammyT96LX450]

It was super simple to instal only snag I ran into was alignment of the holes but that's it. The kit eliminates both of the nuts and lock washer. So less parts.

Where did you order from? T-G wants $12 to ship it.

From them. I looked everywhere and everyone wanted at least 75 dollar minimum order for free shipping.

 

[2fpower]

Found them on ebay, free shipping.
