New Looks for Hannibal

[raeme]

That's one **** of a top jigger Brian, you must be like me and just keep adding on and always improving. It does work out
pretty cheap when you sit down and think about it.

I take it that is one of Hundy's creations? Lookin' nice. Can't tell in the pics, but is that a solid green or 3 color camo soft top? I'm looking for a solid green and Erik's is out of stock and he doesn't know if he will get more.

New Bed Tie-downs

On St. Patty's Day weekend I installed 12 recessed bed tie-downs. I bought two six packs of NOS tie-downs from Coleman's for $12.95 a pack. As I do not own any welding equipment and my skills are lacking, I attached the tie-downs with all Grade 8 hardware. I cut 12 4" holes with a hole saw to accommodate the tie-downs. The first cut went bad and tore up my hole saw. I cut into the weld that runs just above the bed floor. Well, I regrouped and made the rest of the cuts about 3/8" higher. No more problems. The only other thing I had to do was move the side reflectors up above the end tie-downs. All in all they came out nice and I like the new look.

Brian,

The tie-down bracket project looks good.

Thumbs up Brian! Hopefully the neighbors didn't mind all the noise while cutting them holes.

 

[Durango_USMC]

Definitely a sharp looking truck. Keep up the good work.

Thumbs up Brian! Hopefully the neighbors didn't mind all the noise while cutting them holes.

The neighbors don't sweat me at all. I store the truck off site, I just don't have the real estate to keep it home all the time. So, it's kind of a novelty when I have it home.

The hole saw sure made a heck of a racket even with the cutting wax I put on the blade.

I installed a reversing light and back up alarm yesterday. I posted a project "how-to" write-up with photos. Check it out below...

Today I installed all new seat belts on the driver and companion seats to spec. The companion seat now has two individual seat belts. I was not satisfied with the original set-up.

Tomorrow I am going to finish, and hopefully install, a front grille license plate holder I am fabricating from 1/4" aluminum plate stock.

Hmm, how did I miss this thread? Lots of great ideas to mimic

 

[MyothersanM1]

Put on a new (to me) hood and installed a Solargizer.
