Took the top off for the first time. Pretty damn fun driving around without the lid and doors.

how do you transport your boards on your rig?
Ah..... boards go in the back of the Tundra or on wife’s GX!
*Didn’t have the boards with me that evening..... I just took pictures there! :cheers:
 
Waiting for my thermostat parts to arrive, decided to install the freshly powdercoated tailgate.....now I'm thinking I should have done gloss black to match the OEM license plate holder - instead of satin black

Oh well, I can't see it when I'm driving anyway :cool:

Do you have a build thread? Nice tailgate. OEM?

No build thread, I should have started one....... :(

The tailgate looks OEM but I'm sure it's not, however it is metal. I had a pair of 74 barn doors that I was going to fab up but a Mud member was looking to sell/trade for the earlier doors and we made it work out. I did some research to locate the manufacturer of it but, the closest I find is it "resembles" a real steel tailgate? It's not thin like a CCOT tailgate, it's very heavy. Maybe another member has some insight?
 
The kids went to watch the sunset. I remember when they were younger, they called cruisers in stock form , ugly cars. A few years later with a few mods and camping trips they say they’ll never sell them. It helps that all of the boys think they’re cool. 🤨

I believe that’s a Real Steel bolt on tailgate. They also make a replica of the original that uses hinges and latches.
 
Ja, same people. I went to the workshop but being Saturday only one guy there. He said they had had a lot of almost finished vehicles there the week before but they had been moved to their other shop. There was however a gorgeous red and white pig just finished paint and waiting for finish. If all their work is like that then WOW.
 
With the PTO gearbox installed, I was able to attach the engagement linkage:

Now to get the tranny tunnel cover ready. SOR fiberglass cover and gasket set:

Finally, in place, screwed down. Fairly good fit, but warped a little in the rear. The screws pulled it down pretty well.

I was very happy with my "guessitmates" on locating the transfer case lever and PTO lever cutouts.

Thanks for posting the gasket kit. I need that and now I know where to get it.
