I got back from LA lastnight; incase anyone is wondering, it is very hot out there. My guy called Friday at 4:45 and said "come get your truck". He did everything that he said he would. He told me that I would have never made it to LA because the cooler was cracked. I am glad that it happened...

He couldn't get a good reading on the gauge because the truck needed to cool down some more. I asked if he would have time to do the delete today after it cooled off and he said no. I asked if he had the big flow through cooler in stock and he said yes but he wouldn't have time to get it on...

That is the plan Carl! I am supposed to be driving to LA right now but I am sitting at the repair shop instead.......Yesterday it was smoking like hell and loosing power on take off. This morning it was fine.:smilies27 I brought it in anyway, I wouldn't want to start a trip out worried if I...

Thanks Too Tall; I am not sure if it is registered comercial or not. Once I got the title I handed it over to the bank to hold on to for a couple of years...... I am planning a fold down bed on the back wall but a hammock might have to do for now, good idea.

Thanks Chilli; I am contemplating a spoiler for looks and mileage but not sure of how I want it to look. I read your thread; very impressive! I like the ramp, I would love a lift gate on mine but a ramp would certainly help a lot! Cheers! :beer:

I understand that. I get 8.6-12.7 MPG........... I stop and exercise every few hours when I fill up.:D

I think the one I was looking at was the 6,500 watt. First sized for the AC/Heat unit in the truck. Then add a welder for the truck, that's pushing it. This size could also be used at the house if power was lost. I don't like under sizing anything. I undersized this truck trying to stay out of...

I did that for years and I don't want to do that anymore. I am building this for what I want. I want to be able to change anything and everything from a regular seated position. All controls at my finger tips reach. If you spend 12-24 hours (not common but it happens) driving it is nice to...

No, I can not.

Thanks tank; I bought 4) 6" LED light bars that I need to mount. 2) on the back corners and one on each side pointing down. A light bar would be nice on the top bar but my, they sure expensive! Speaking of expensive; I picked out a nice Yamaha inverter/generator sized correctly so I wouldn't...

Thanks Ed; I am building this for me and no one else. I am almost always by myself on the road and if there is someone in the passenger seat, more than likely I am not concerned with what they think of my ride or their comfort. :D Here is the top of the console I made: The function is good...

My Ranch Hand bumper finally came in and was installed. The install quoted price was $80 and well worth it. Come to find out, the (original) bumper had taken a good hit and both the supports were collapsed inward. I work slow but efficiently. I don't like the console that I made so I will...

Thanks for the info Doug. I am no tractor trailer but I do have a good bit of wind restiance. Did you see some MPG saved with a scoop?

Yes and no. I am thinking 8' wide at the top and taper down to the cab conture (3' maybe) and a lip over the windshield. Aerodynamic yes, adding aluminum to deflect the sides, yes. Worth the trouble and material; not sure. That's why I am reading here. I know that one can't see the design in...

I saw one on a snap-on truck that got me thinking. I plan to build it myself out of aluminum and have it epoxy painted or Rhino lined black. It is a 50/50 of looks and function. This is my work truck and the company pays for my fuel so I would guess they would pay for material if it will help...

I would love to see more details about this thread. In the future I plan to do at least a scoop over the cab to improve MPG. My truck has the same aeroyodynamics (and MPG) as my Jeep. Like a brick.:)

I built my console/sub box last weekend. I want to drive around with it for a week or two to make sure I like it before I skin it. Everything is just velcroed for now for temporary placement. I ordered a complete JL Audio system from Crutchfield that should be very impressive. I am...

Not sure what uscg said; but I think he was asking for a link. I agree, I would like a link to your build please.

Over the weekend I ran some 1 1/2 sch. 10 stainless pipe. I mounted my rear camera to it and ran the cable through it. I will also mount lights, antennas, and whatever else that I might think of. I plan to weld tabs to it for future projects before I paint it black (or have it powder coated or...

Thanks Nathan, like I needed more things to spend money on.:coffee: I do appreciate the post and I am only about 30 miles from him. I will do at least part of what he was talking about. Dad had his done locally, I will compare the two. I call Crutchfield to place an order tomorrow, Norm was...
