I have four bus mirrors sitting my garage from my Skoolie project. Sorry to say it never entered my mind to use them with my Rig. Until now!

I understand both aspects of the restoration v. the customization. The purest of pures stick to the restoration and that is respectable. I have no issue with someone modifying their vehicle for whatever use they see fit. Afterall, it is their property. They can do a total body off restoration or...

I would try pull more than I pushed with it. As far as an exact number, I have no idea. I have pulled full sizes school buses and up rooted damaged trees from the ground. I have not tried to push hardly just a few stalled vehicle stuck directly on the roadways. I have reached the conclusion...

I added my prototype .50 caliber to the roof. Changed oil and started working on my own doors. That is the prototype, I have two more with improvements. The prop M2 adds a lot of wow factor to my truck.

The hardtop doesnt looks seated completely. I cant tell from the pictures but, are there any gaps between the hardtop and the pillars? It may just take some weight to pull the hardtop edges down to see if they slide in place. I can see the original rail screw mounts, about the same distance...

Thank you, that was the prototype, the second and third are much better. It is to scale, I found dimensions and built it. Honestly, I was worried about putting too much detail into it at first. I didnt want a swat team rolling up to my house or some nervous cop plugging me on traffic. A...

My light bar is not a driving light its an 911E or EP arrow stick but, it does not get in the way when I had the windshield folded down. It is only an inch or inch and a half deep and I believe you can order any color and color combo you like. Patterns are built right into the light but you...

Hello Folks, What do you think of my new prop? I have made three of these, the one on my truck is the prototype. The two newer, what I call Generation 2 and Generation 3 have improvements. The local cops loved it and I think, if I would have had one a couple of weeks ago. I would have cracked...

Here is the rear door. There is another smaller door on the passenger side above the wheel well. Yes, the exhaust extension I fabricated uses the original tail pipe, extended it out of the body and wheel well. Then up and away from the vehicle. If the tire compressed the shocks to that point...

This is what I did with my truck. Same thought as you, such a flat face and open for immediate contact with a fury covered mammal. I wanted one of the USMC style bumpers but, couldnt afford one. So, I fabricated my own. Measured it down to keep the wheels exposed, deep enough to tilt the...

I second that, I sold the cargo cover, doors, soft top, tailgate and fabricated my own wagon style hardtop and rear to enclose everything. Making it yourself is a lot of work, fun but a lot of work and extremely cheaper than buying something. I made my extended hardtop for about 600 bucks...

Somewhat off topic but, save yourself some money and trouble if replacing rifle mounts. Go to the local hardware store and hit the garage / tool organization section. You will be surprised and happy to find the exact same rifle mounts titled as rake / broom holders for $2.99 a piece. It...

I am about a hundred miles north of Ripley and my M998 came from Maine. Nice to see another regional guy here. Welcome and congrats.

Nope, I did as little modification as possible to the truck itself. I adjusted the hard top to fit the truck. Seven pieces overall, three center plates, A-B, B-C, C-D. Then fill plates full length left and right of the center plates to the edge of the frames. Pieces 7 and 8 were the edges...
