Update
Well here are some recent pictures, I have finally installed my rock sliders, and I have probably gone a little crazy with the truck bed coating! After I did my bumper in the truck bed coating I liked how it looked, and decided to coat my wheels, fender flares and the sliders in the stuff. I like it, I think it ties in with the bumper well. I also had some stickers made for a little self promotion :banana: in my fake company; Lohmann Off-Road Custom Fabrication! I say fake, but I would really love to quit the 9-5 gig and start my own off-road fab company! (Lohmann is my last name by the way) Also found some TRD stickers on eBay too. Let me know what you guys think!

M100 Trailer
Thought I would share this, although it's probably better suited to post over at expeditionportal. But I picked up an old M100 military trailer off craigslist a couple weekends ago, been working on it lately. It in really good shape for its age (this is a WW2 trailer by the way) just needs a little fab work, and some new fenders; no biggie, Northern Tool and Equipment has been my new found friend! I am going to make it a little off-road camping trailer. I'll post pics when its done.

Well Im not sure I want to say, I may end up selling it actaully just to make a little money! I got a good deal though, the old man I bought it from had no idea what it was, to him it was just a crappy little trailer. It was on small ranch near Tulsa, Oklahoma, about 500 miles round trip for me so you know it was a good deal for me to drive that far!
The thing really is in good shape, the floor is intact and not rusted through, its a pretty solid little trailer!

I really enjoy watching this rig grow....everything looks awesome. You mentioned wanting to fab up offroad goodies. Do it. Keep the 9-5 and fab on the side. Your bumper looks awesome. In fact, when you built that bumper...I thought, how much does he want for that bumper? Great work.

yeah, I always have something in mind I want to fab up, next its going to be a rear bumper and tire carrier. I'm not the expert in fab work, my brother is the expert, I design it, and then he tweaks it so it will be strong and functional. Hes certified in several kinds of welding and does it for a living, so he tells me what will work and what wont.

ARB Roof Rack
Well I picked up a full length ARB roof rack off Craigslist for $250! Heres the link to what I got: http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-Steel-W...f-Rack-Basket-87-X-49-Inch-3800010-P3435.aspx
Pretty good deal I thought for $250, it was in near perfect condition. I just got it mounted up today, I had to do my own custom fabricated rails to make it work. It took a little while to figure out how I wanted to do it, but it turned out to be pretty easy once I got going.

Well I used a piece of 2" x 4" rectangular tubing, cut in half for each side. Drilled some holes and mounted each half of the square tubing to the vehicle. Next I placed the rack up there, marked where to drill the holes on the tubing. Pulled it all off the vehicle, drilled my holes, did a little grinding on the sharp corners, painted and mounted everything back up. It went pretty smooth. The hardest part was getting the rack up there by myself for the final fitment. My help decided they wanted to go for a bike ride so I was left alone to finish it.
