Re: Project "River Truck" - CCLB 4x4

I have been keeping an eye on CL, there was only one decent one and the guy wanted $150, he got angry when I offered him $75. I think he has it listed now for $100...I have been checking the upull it as well but I don't get up there often, its a pretty good drive form here.

Yes I think we are both talking about the blue tailgate. Maybe you could build one out of a Ford tailgate or something. Hahaha! Just kidding. I'll let you know if I see any others.

Re: Project "River Truck" - CCLB 4x4

I haven't done any big projects lately but here's one you guys might like. My truck came with a cheap tow hook bolted to the frame rail but I've wanted some better tow points up front. At the same time I didn't want to change the look of the front of the truck very much. So I came up with these shackle mounts made out of 1" thick steel. I built a template out of cardboard and then transferred them to steel. When the shackles aren't mounted, its tough to see the mounts.
