Cutter29's Pro build

Last day working in Moab. May as well get the kids together for a farewell.

 

Shims and shackles installed and a quick paint polish between snow storms.

 

Line x and relentless tall bed bars for the tent

 

Rig is looking awesome!
What tent are you going with?

 

Thanks. I have the Tepui Kukenam Sky ruggedized. Used it once last week. Just need to get it swapped over to the new bars. It will be a much better setup.

 

So awesome! How close to the roof is the tent on those bed bars?

 

I have the same tent and love it

 

I've been out of town for a few weeks and haven't had a chance to mount the tent on the new bars yet. It should sit a few inches over the cab. I'll post a picture when I get it set up. Hopefully next week

Edit* reading comprehension! with the Thule bars it's below the cab. Too low for me as I couldn't open the cooler under it and had to drag everything out from under the tent.

 

Where is that locale?

 

Mountain Green, Utah. Fire base I'm at this summer. After a few days of sitting I'm ready for the next fire.

 

Stay safe bud, fires are outta control this year!

 

How did you get a job like that?

 

Short answer... time, money, flight school, hard work and paying dues.

 

Looks like a great job. I wanted to be a military pilot but thought I needed to go to the AF academy to do so. I was to old by the time I realized otherwise.

 

Bed light kit installed

 

Dialing in the camping/winter tool setup

 

Did you get rid of the topper? Or is that a seasonal thing?

 

Seasonal. Can't live without it in the winter, can't stand having it on in the summer

 

Makes sense considering where you are located. I have never been a fan of toppers but your truck makes me want one. Hard to justify in AZ where its either hot or really hot most of the time lol wouldn't use it very much.

 

@boardude i also have a topper which i mainly only use in the winter time. During the summer i have it hoisted up with this system and it works awesome!

Can't justify the cost for how much I would actually use it. Would rather put that towards re-gearing.

 

how did you attach the max trac ? I need something like that. how about the axe/shovel ?

 

For the tredpro I had to make my own mount. Ended up taking two different mounting options and combining them. Couldn't find anything plug and play for the bedrail and wanted a clean mounting solution out of the way. As for the tools I ordered the 4x innovations bedrail mount with quickfist for the Tacoma. The bottom part of the bracket (Support) that is supposed to be against the side is free hanging with the taco/Tundra difference. Tools don't weigh that much and it's not an everyday carry so I don't foresee any issues.

 

Snuck down to Moab for a night.

 

Looks like an awesome spot!

 

Nice truck. Seeing those Duratracs on yours is what I needed in order to decide what I'm getting.

 

By chance, did you notice bed bounce with yours prior to the shackles?

 

Before and after. After doesn’t feel as bad in the seat but it’s still there.

 

Thanks. I'm hoping new shackles and ADS rear shocks will greatly lessen or eliminate the bounce.
