That is true GE. Even if it did go down, it wouldn't be very much travel to worry about. I forgot that the struts the boxes are attached to are pretty forgiving. I was throwing the idea out there to keep in mind. I don't think any kind of "realistic" off roading we would do with the truck could...

I'd be careful mounting anything under there. Wouldn't want it to be right up against the bottom of the bed anyway. When your bed flexes off road it could smash whatever box you have under there. I was looking at the way GE has it setup right now. Looks like the tie down pocket for the bed might...

My dad used two .50 cal ammo cans to make a toolbox for the step of his WC51. It looks very nice. Basically he took one can and took the lid off. Got the second can, cut the floor out of it. Then he welded the one with no floor onto the top of the one with no lid. He bolted it to the step and...

I looked those clamps up on amazon right after you posted about them. Look pretty cool. I have been looking for a fire extinguisher mount too cause mine was removed from my truck. Seems like they make one for just about everything. I'm on a college budget too. I'm saving pennies just to change...

Thanks for the tip! I will look into it. The back of the cab would be a good place for it. Farmallmilitary - Don't go to walmart :-D

Haha it was a quick thought before a parade. Basically a joke really. It was only on there for about 2 hours. Would be cool to rig up a strap for it though.

Looks like you need a.... ZOMBIE SLAYER!!! :mrgreen:

Mine were pretty tight too. But nothing a 3 foot breaker wouldn't handle. I was lucky because I was reading about them being super tight. Wish I would have had my 1 inch impact when I did it. I would have had em off in 5 minutes.

It's a heavy rope! That sucker is a back breaker. It's funny you say the smile thing with the chain. I got the same remarks with mine. "It's smiling!" hahaha. And you are correct. I use mine as a step constantly. Nice work. Those shackle nuts are tough! lots of heavy work even doing the things...

If you're stuck that bad, I wouldn't be trusting a chain anyway. Chains are way too dangerous when they break. I put mine there because I was tired of messing around with it when trying to get my hood open. Seems like the chain was always in the way when I was trying to latch the hood open. I...

Looking good! I would put some safety wire on that chain if I were you. Not that I'm worried about mine coming unhooked. But if it ever did, the last thing I want to do is run over a part of the chain. It would not be a fun time that's for sure.

What he is saying is that there are three bolts that hold on each shackle base. There is a long bolt in the back of the base that extends to the bottom of the bumper. Instead of a bolt, he is going to use a threaded rod with two nuts. One nut on the top and one on the bottom. This is exactly...

I added the lower shackles as well. I think it looks good on these trucks. Got a nice set of the newer style shackles that are straight instead of having a bend like the top ones.

To each his own. I personally like the look of the LED lights and I like the fact that I see a lot of newer trucks in the military having them. I enjoy making things on my truck to how they are being used by our troops. However, I don't have the cash to go to LEDs... So the originals work well...

I just read through your entire thread. Looking good! Keep up the good work! I thought it was funny in your picture of your toolboxes how you had brake fluid... You use that much on the 923? Kinda like blinker fluid... It's good to have around :mrgreen:. Hahaha all in good fun. I might borrow...
