The struts were picked out of a large selection that Autozone had in stock. I believe they were spec'd for like 150-160 pounds? The tire took two of us to lift up there, AAA will help get it down if needed. Lol. The spare tire carrier was made with 1/4" wall 2" square tubing, 1/4" plate and some...
For the most part that is complete on the fabrication. I'm installing some inside lighting to find stuff at night if need be. I've got another with the canvas top, and yes it is a sail/parachute to pull. And no security. This top matches the highth of my work truck. It'll be more aerodynamic...

Welcome aboard to the both of you. I guess if I would start asking or informing my wife BEFORE I bring home green or it is delivered she would be my "soldier B "?? But, my addiction seems to overlook that obstacle each time my adrenaline gets revved up. Haha. Until then my "B" is a marvelous 10...
