Fuel gauge in cubby hole. Took the passenger air bag switch out of a regular cab and cut the middle out. ed97b4c6abae2e45e5869007d6ce3335.jpg827156746ec9744489046f549fea24ad.jpg

Lookin' slick man... been a while since I've seen it! I'll have to find where I left off and read what I missed.

Like that you stuck with General tires again. How are the new grabbers? I'm trying to nail down a set of 35s for Rebel when the stock Toyos wear out.

I built it myself man. I'm about to start building and selling them. It mounts between the doors and the cab to the inner frame. e53b169dc3f65d8d32378c393c3b43a3.jpg

So Derek, are you still interested in making more of those roof racks mounts? I got some fabricating skills just not the best....I've always wanted to make my own roof rack I just don't know how to do the mounts....

right after he makes me a full roof rack ;) lol

lol can't wait to have an actual full roof rack up top. There's a lot of people that have the mini racks and I don't see a whole lot of use to it, maybe one or two suitcases (and not the military size suitcases). I just want the mounts I want to fab up everything else. I don't know if I'd go full out on the lights even though I know they're badass lookin....
