Funny, my favorite mod is the old attic rack in back too. Can't believe how much I use it.
Nice tlc on your TLC !

 

[McGrinnan]

Sub'd. More pics!!

 

[CDmpc]

I am in a rut. Need to figure out whats next. Thinking compressor.....but where to mount. Cant be inside unless I delete the drivers side rear storage build a cabinet to replace the plastic. Hmmm...

Still running the stock spare in factory location? If not tons of space there. You could also do the wiper reservoir relocate and mount up there, unless running dual batt's.

 

[CDmpc]

I have a swing down, but I have an idea for a res gas tank and hand cranked pump for under there. The Reservoir idea is compelling but duals are definitely a long term goal. What about some Trail Gear Sliders via home welding? any experience with Trail Gear sliders roaming around here?

Nice truck, and nice job on base line so far.

Have you seen this?

I have one and I am a big fan.

 

[CDmpc]

Yah and I love it. But thats my dogs window and seat- lol. I have a two piece sleeping platform that this would not work with. Now I am wondering if I can fit the air and a spare gas tank (hillbilly style) under there?

Thanks for compliment! Its just a trail rig

 

[CDmpc]

Just had to chime in on the monkey business- really excited to have purchased a welder and have 3 weeks off!
To do-
Aussie Locker install
Dorkel install
Winch install
Hopefully get some TG sliders headed this way next week

I will post some pics as I make progress

 

[Dokken]

You should replace the PCV valve and grommet.

 

[CDmpc]

Did that one a while back....Damn list

 

[ThreeEyedBandit]

Just so you know the Pump will fit inside that rear quarter panel when separated from the tank

 

[CDmpc]

I bought an MV50. I have started too many mods at once lol. Right now I have the sliders under construction, the aussie locker sitting waiting to be put in, the dorkel is on the fence for install, rear bumper conundrum and I need some jerry can brackets fab'd up as well. The CSF is in at least and the PS lines and pump are done. I could mount the MV50 in the well and pipe it to a tank....thanks I ll add that one as "while I'm in there"

 

[CDmpc]

Somebody is getting another cruiser today.....I am thinking a thread may be in order.

 

[CDmpc]

Or not. Craigslist is fun!

Don't know if you said this somewhere before but did you re-gear and how's the power before/after the 35s? I'm looking at the exact same tires for my cruiser.
