Sharp looking truck. Good Idea with the converted second fuel tank.

Looks great, the tan is really nice. I am also in the Wichita area and would really like to get a bobbed deuce eventually. Did you bob it yourself or have someone else do it? 100dollarman seems to do a great job but I don't really want to fly to California and drive it all the way back when I do end up with enough savings.

Your plans for the interior sound cool -- you should give us some more pictures when that comes to life.

I bought a stock one from a guy in Oklahoma I was going to bob it myself but after I got back to Wichita I called him & asked about a few things and he made me a great deal so now I have the 6x6 and the bobbed one

Why the electric winch for the front?

Other than that, looks pretty freakin' good.

 

[robr]

Electric winch for several reasons its bigger than stock, I do not like the way the bumper sticks out on the stock pto winch on a bobbed truck, wireless remote so I do not have to have someone in the truck when I am dragging trees up the hill, and the main reason price I got it for $750.00 and it was brand new

Here is some pics of the Alum. Gauge cluster I machined I have all new gauges when it is installed in the truck and the AM General Badge I am making out of Alum. for the tailgate

robr,
That is a purty truck.
Love the tan and the bedliner.
The cluster with the names in relief is a cool touch.
I will follow this thread to check out how you did your tool mounts in the bed.

Yep, Per Tee

Nice truck!

 

[srodocker]

nice!

 

[comdiver]

What color tan is it? It looks great!

 

[robr]

Dark Taupe satin green is

I liked Rust-Oleum’s Dark Taupe satin so I had it color matched It matches prefect so I can touch it up with a rattle can
the green is Rust-Oleum’s Camouflage Ultra Flat Camo Deep Forest Green

Love the hi-lift mounts and the instrument cluster bezel.

Very good work.

 

[robr]

now that I have instrument cluster bezel modeled & programed I can make them pretty fast 1/2 hour on the CNC & 10 mins to bead blast and its done It cost me about $60.00 to make one
I will make SS Members one for cost
shipping should be about $7.00
total $67.00 to your door
so if any of you guys want one let me know
they are made out of T6 6061 Alum

 

[srodocker]

will that highlift lift high enough?

 

[robr]

they are 48" and will on hard ground but I have 60" ones that I have not painted yet that also fit on the same mounts
Im going to put the 48" on my stock Deuce and put the 60" ones on this truck

 

[srodocker]

ok sweet i have a 48" highlift i'll mount up aswell then
