Finally secured my telescoping ladder. It finally has a permanent home that doesn't interfere with anything and doesn't budge on the trail.

Nailed down the woofer, it's amazing how well everything fits together with the fridge, woofer and l-track. Just-right spacing on everything!
4" l-bracket fit perfectly, just had to trim the length.
Opted to use this bed headboard plate on the passenger side instead of the l-bracket I had cut. It has a much better footprint and I didn't have to screw it in due to the large lip on the box. It's pushing the woofer to the floor and nothing moves. Additionally, I have a place to mount a climbing ring for running a strap over the woofer to contain my tow strap and leveling blocks.
The box came with the terminal block on the front which hit the seat. I just added a 2nd one on the side. The seat clears by 1/8" as it folds up and down. When the seat is upright, there's about 1" of clearance. It's hard to tell from the pics but the front of that box is sloped to match the seat exactly.

GOLD Star
Very Sharp! The ladder foot holders are genius
. I also like the L-track light mounts. Nice job.
SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr
SILVER Star
New tires
Then a weekend trip to bike with family/friends in Bentonville, AR. Good shakedown run for all the recently completed work.
Then got home and prepped for a Colorado trip. RTT, drivelines greased, repacked, cleaned, oil changed, and mysterious fuel tank over pressurized issue hopefully solved

Thanks! I looked pretty silly wandering around Ace hardware with a ladder trying to find the right size cup. An added benefit is the feet are curved so the middle is higher, they barely kiss the nut in the cup.Very Sharp! The ladder foot holders are genius
With the grey bungee hold down, the red bungee barely has any work to do. It just keeps the ladder from swaying and I didn't want it falling into the fridge so the bungee/l-bracket combo does a fantastic job. I may fab up an inverted U type bracket that will bolt up against the l-bracket bolts negating the need for the red bungee.
The light mount storage is amazingly handy. I don't have to worry about the car wash or theft this way!
Can't... stop... looking... at... this... truck. You're lucky I'm in a different state than the summit fam. Good work!
Did some wheeling, needs lockers in the worst way!
You made it through ok. Lockers will make you lazy.
I checked to see if my Torque app still works.
Yep. Still does.

aaaahhhh ... if my 80 series only had the Turbo to pull that trailer!
great trail we did the relic run there this spring.
Looked at her. She hasn't moved since Buster Brown came into my life (signature line below). Comet keeps looking at me and mentioning a wiring harness replacement. Stupid wiring harness. It keeps staring at me in the passenger seat. Guess next weekend will involve electrical work. The sickness continues.
mounted the roof rack i fabricated for my 80. made out of 16 gauge 1 x 1 1/2 rectangular tubing that i found in the scrap yard at the local steel supplier. the steel was in great shape except for some dented ends preventing them from stocking it as new material so it was a good deal. the floor is .095 expanded metal with 1 1/2 inch diamond so tie down hooks can fit. i got the mounts from gamiviti and finished it off with a rattle can job. woulda loved to powder coat it but that just wasn't in my college student budget. still very pleased with how it turned out for just over 200 bucks including welding consumables
Pretty foolish to think a cell phone, or any camera, is going to capture the scenery of Valle Vidal, NM and give the viewer an accurate visual description. Awesome spot and am definitely going back to spend time in that area. We also camped in the well known area of Greenie Peak near Red River. Camp was over 10,000 feet in elevation and rewarded us in scenery and solitude as all the other trail users gunned it to town around 5pm and we had the area to ourselves. On Sunday we utilized the trails headed into town and while running an atv on those trails is probably no big deal, steering that big Cruiser down the mountain was very entertaining and I must admit to some sweaty palms in a few spots but the 80 did it's thing and all was well!
Finished it all at Red River Brewery before heading back home.
One other thing, if ever in Mosquero, NM stop at the diner and get one of the homemade fried pies!

We are going to do that run when it cools down a bit.
That is a good looking set up!
Made it in time for SAS. Met some great people on the way in and got to Ouray tonight. Transmission shifts awesome.
Good scenery on the way in too.

Ahhhh...that scenery tho! Can see forever from that plateau
