Mike, I sure hope your surgery goes well. You have my number. If you need anything please let me know. You will be back up to full speed in no time. The invite to Utah still stands… 😀
Guys, Sharecropper (Mike) is dealing with some fairly significant health issues right now. I just wanted to take the time to ask you guys to keep him in your thoughts and prayers (if you pray). You would be hard pressed to find a better guy than Mike and I am happy to call him my friend. In...
Yeah, I am in on this... I would like to actually move my spare tire to a swing out spare tire carrier mounted on the bumper of my truck. I am wanting to do the same thing you are doing.
Sorry this took so long but I’ve been off the site doing other things. My truck is about 7’ tall with the cab lights. I am running 37’s and have 7” of total lift up front and closer to 8” in the rear.

Sorry that it has taken me this long to respond. Life gets busy. We used (I think) 3 1/2 or 4 inch square tube. The passengers side is bolted right up to the frame. What everyone wants to know is how did we get around the fuel tank... Pictures are worth a thousand words... Here you go...
Took the truck out for a "shakedown" run this past weekend. I aired my tires down to about 10 psi which made for a real comfortable ride on the washboard backroads. Just prior to hitting the pavement, I aired all the tires back up to 32 psi. This took about 40 seconds per tire. I am pleased...
Adding to the thread... I did get my onboard air installed and functioning. This was important to me. I used quality components and will heavily depend on the system on the trail. I am adding a couple of pics and some videos of the system in use.
Compressor function (clutch was...
I guess the OP has not been on the site for a while. I would like to thank him for inspiring me to install my system. Eventually, I will start another thread explaining my install process. I did not cut corners and my install was not cheap. As I have a side project with a friend, it will...
Folks, it has been a good long while since I have interacted with you and I promise that I will post more pics as I get the time... My truck is back on the road after being out of commission for three months. We still have a few bugs (leaks) to address but I figured that I would post some...
I bought a magnet that car dealers use to attach dealer plates to cars that they use for test drives. I usually stick my plate either on the bumper (as pictured) or up on the tailgate. It has worked perfectly for years.
OP - THANKS! This post has inspired me to do the same on my truck. I am thinking about mounting a surplus military tank where the second fuel tank would normally be on my vehicle. There is an affordable 7 gallon aluminum CARC green air tank for sale over on one of the auction sites. I will...
Not yet but I have some “lessons learned” that I will apply to this install. For example, I intend to build my platform about 18”-24” higher. This will make it easier to service. My Utah install may incorporate an automatic transfer switch and will include the Inova Hightec autostart kit...
If I recall correctly, the DPDT 200A Transfer switch was in the $600 range. They can be had cheaper. Check the auction sites. My 15-year home ended up being my three year home and now my family and the MEP803A are in Utah! I never would have imagined that happening...
