Good looking truck (and dawg) !
I modified one of those folding dog ramps my neighbor gave me to attach to the toolbox/step. Then I eventually added some folding feet to the ground end to reduce the angle of incline. I still need to add some carpet or something as my girl can't dig her nails...
I thought about you the other day.
I was just finishing getting setup in the sand and two very definite college aged "10's" came over to look at the truck.
I didn't have my phone handy at the time, and knew that I had failed my mission when they never strolled back over to ask for a ride.

I was thinking a simple 24v to 12v step down would do the job.
I guess price would be determined by how many amps you needed for that run.

They appear to be about $10 for every 10amps.
Good time to slap a 200-300amp 24v alt on there. And then a step down for the 12v.

Maybe I'm ignorant of the ways of the world, but does that subframe system (see very end of video) seem to be all over the place at the slightest bump?
I'd almost be afraid of what that would do in a gusty crosswind going down the highway. I wonder if it...
Well that and either is HIGHLY combustible/explosive.
Pretty sure the related comments were understood as being in jest.

And the tank is full, he suspects. So breaking it off would also be a bit dangerous...
Seriously, I'd soak the fitting with PB Blaster or something. And yeah, absolutely outside in a good breeze. I doubt you will hurt the tank (the fitting would be more likely to break I would suspect).
Bryce is a young fellow who travels the country installing highspeed gears/lockers for folks. He's around here some but I always found him on the FB groups (back before I nuked FB). I've spoken with him a number of times on driveline issues and parts. There are other parts flippers and even a...
