Relocated my AFR gauge to the stupid empty non usable space by the cup holders. I cut out just about all the plastic on the bin and then made a plate from sheet metal to hold my gauge. Painted it black and rerouted my wires and mounted it. Now i have a stealth AFR gauge and a spot for either coolant gauge or eventually a boost gauge.

Installed my Cobra CB radio

Thank you. I got the switch at the auto parts store, and the voltage meter was bought on eBay.

The roof rack all together was about $160 I think. I got it as a gift. I didn't have any problems with it. I actually welded two big brake rotors together and welded bolts to the rotor to act as studs. Then I put a tie-down strap on it. I took it off awhile back though.

where do u keep your spare now?

I have no idea why, but every time I see your build, it makes me feel depressed. I'm not saying your rig is bad, by any means. In fact, it's awesome. I just get an eerie, sad feeling from it.

Not sure how to take that. Haha.

I really need to update my build thread, since I've added, removed, and changed a few things.

Hah, maybe it's the area? OR it may be that almost all of your offroad shots are when it's just dreadful weather.

33s won't fit down there. I think the largest that will is 265/70

With cutting? It may, then.
