nice corners, also good choice on the Mean Green, mine should be here any day now...300 amps for the diesel! How do you like your Engo winch? I've been looking at them cause I've heard good things and the price seems decent but I've never had a Warn let me down. Also digging your intake...I still have to figure out where the F I'm gonna put an air filter

I see no steps on the corners. Who made them? Just curious if you did, IF, or PPE. The ones ive seen all had the steps still. The no step looks good.

Thank you,
I like my engo's. Have yet to have one of them let me down. It is not the fastest or quietest winch on the market. But it works and it's cheaper then the big boys
IF made the rear corners. All you have to do is ask for stuff to get them. Then be willing to pay more sometimes.

I've been wanting one of those Lowrance units for a while now! What'd you use for the mount?

For the mount I just used the stock mount that came with the unit then used a ram mount. I got a longer middle section to raise it up higher too.

This is what I did this last week. Pulled this 6'x12' U-haul 1000miles in 2 days. I bet I was pushing 5 tons total between the two and had no issues at all. Now lets not talk about mpg...

State troopers don't do **** once they realize your out of state. I don't drive like an ass hole so they leave me alone.

I know it has been years since it was so empty.
Well I'm going to have to haul stuff in both. But hopefully less in the Xterra.

When I installed all my overhead switches for the LED's I have added. It flattened the peace of plastic a little bit and never sat quite right. It then would drop down when offroading and has been a pain for the last 3 years. So I did the following to solve the issue.

So today I started working on the cargo area storage.
Created these planks for the mounting to the floor.
I then created the upright. The front part is tapered to follow the back of the seat infront of it.
Both upright installed along with the front bar.
Installed the piano hinge along with the connection peace.

Did some more work on the rear storage area. You can get the idea of what it will look like from this.
And it lifts up to access below.
A little storage compartment hidden below it too.

Worked on the cargo area a little more.
Mounted some angle iron so panels can sit on them to make a little compartment.
Created a board across the front. To increase the size of the compartment below it.

Created a cover for the side section.
Created a mount for my Pull Pal.
Easy access to everything.
How it looks lifted. Also easy access to either the hi-lift or pull pal.
Just some blood.

After applying polyurethane to the cargo organizer. I reassembled it today.
Back hidden compartment is for spare parts and such. Things I won't have to access very often.
