    looks like a good beach bar. But you cant use it with tailgate down.

    Yes but they don't do much. Looking to replace them with LEDs soon.

    Yes it does! That's the reason I don't use that fill plug. I use the original one on the back of the diff.

    ok so time to start updating this thread. I wanted a roof basked to through my 40 inch light bar on and to get the tire on it. That way I have room in the bed for all the gear I need for those 20 mile trips down Matagorda Island to camp/fish. First after looking for ever I found a rack that just right for the dimensions. It is for an ez go golf cart.


    And then I found some roof rack mounts from Jcr



    Next, Me and a buddy welded up a rack/mount system for the rack to sit on.






    Then I went to the metal supply store and found this for a tire mount


    and of course welded it to the basket

    So this it was time to clean it up and paint it






    I plan on connecting the two pieces by bolts. I did this because for one it was a pain in the ass to try to weld them together and I wanted the back to be removable from the mounting system in case I ever decide to change it at all.



    and then here it is all done and mounted on the truck.

    Needs more triangulation....

    Looks good, what's the spec on the tie rod/y-link? I saw a dude with some alloy tie rod at trees like 5 years ago, the thing would bend like a pretzel, but would pop right back.
