The Mahalas........ BUILD

Converted parking lights to also be turn signals.







Added a second cooler and a fan. Except for the fact the left one is not in direct air flow, the right one is only half, I technically have 41 000 BTUs of cooling plus the fan.
I'll up date this once I know how they are working out.






Picked up this little guy from a buddy for a bottle of vodka. needs tires BAD, lights don't work and some tlc, but other wise it will be perfect for hunting.






Installed my light switches and I'm finally getting around to finishing the rest of the electrical in the truck. So far I figure I'll be doing about another 100 soldered connections 57 of which will be female type connectors that easily slide on to the back of relays.







My buddy said there is a small problem plugging in the winch controller because of the grille. I moved the connector as much forward as I could before the bracket started to hit one of the fog lights. Can't test it unless I reinstall the bumper with the winch so I'm really having my fingers crossed everything clears.



 
Nice build so far :thumb:

I like seeing homebuilt bumpers and whatnot. And you can't beat that price for the trailer!

I don't know how much home built they are as he fabricates for a side job, but the design is mine.


The trailer has been sitting in my buddy's parking lot for 3 years. His wife had to watch out backing the car in and would ***** about it (once in a while) .... So .... technically I was doing him a favor :whistle: lol
 
Decided to borrow my neighbors scale and see how much all the extra plate weighs in at.









Minus the stick



Winch



Since it's already out, I checked the battery




I figure the sliders are about 120-150 lbs.
Not sure what the factory bumpers/skids/sliders weigh.... maybe they at least cover the winch.... maybe.
 
Hey.. good meeting you tonight. First time checking out your build thread. You have done great work on your rig. Those custom bumpers are boss. How you liking those Tundra brakes? I just put mine in a couple days ago - the difference is night and day.
