Removable mud flap hangers for my 24" flaps, transfer case shifter and bracket, rear bumper brackets, backup light guards for my 100watt backup lights under the bed, and im thinking about having my dad help me with a headache rack.

I made a headache rack for another pickup that had a hinged opening with removeable pins. I wouldn't suggest doing that as it squeeked and rattled. When I finally get around to making the one for my ford, it will just be a solid piece of expanded metal across the window.
As far a what I have made, you can look in my galleries. A quick rundown: front and rear hitches, drop suspension brackets, rear bumper, skidplate, and throttle cable brackets are the quick ones that come to mind.

Either way you do it, the only way I've ever uploaded pics was I went to the quick links at the top right of the page, and clicked edit options, then edit gallery, and create and edit a gallery, and to get the pics, browse through your saved files where the pics are and hit upload.
I got someone to help fab my front pipe bumper with expanded steel and square tubing for a grille gaurd. My rear bumper is a 3" by 3"piece of square pipe with a spare tire mount on it. Then little brackets for offroad lights front and rear, and a piece of SS mounted under the dash with my light switches on them. I also had to fab up my crossmember for extra clearance for my front driveshaft. I plan on a rear shackle flip, but nothing like ivan's.
