that would be one of my roof racks.i build them for friends and customers.depending on what type of rack(if you want this roof rack or a trophy truck style) and the size and lights and how many tabs etc etc is where the price comes out. on this truck i welded tabs to the roof and bolted it so i can easily take it on and off.on my excursion one that i built i just made plates so i could bolt it to the roof and siliconed it.its all personal preference.

little update

redid my roof rack and Installed an led dust light

painted my steering stabilizer to match my shocks



also installed new steering box and flushed my system. and installed crossover steering and new pitman arm but the dip****s gave me the wrong tie rod end that was too fat to fit into the pitman arm so i just picked up a new pitman arm this morning that will work so it will be finished tonight.

also started dynamating the doors
inside

outer


doors are finished as of last night. getting my new bigger 4 channel on friday and rebuilding my sub box because i dont like this one. also going to start dynamatting the floor and pillars and roof at that time

I know you will like that sound proofing stuff the PO put it in our truck and it is so nice to have makes the exhaust even sound cooler.
