    Using a rifle case(s) for roof storage?

    I used a Plano Moulding All Weather case... I went with a Plano rifle case. I found this at Wal-Mart for under $80 IIRC. My rationale for putting it on the roof rack is to have easy access to my recovery gear. I have since removed this and went with some newer Rigid cases from Home Depot. They...

    54" Roof Mounted LED Light Bar BLUNDER - Why I went with a hidden LED light bar

    My LEDs are mounted on... I have two places where my bars are mounted. The fairing on the roof rack and in between the hoop of my Expedition One bumper... . . . I have noticed a definitive howl when my light bar above is misaligned, but I have not had any issues since I adjusted it. There is...

    weboost (Wilson Electronics) Drive 4G-S Cell Phone Signal Booster Kit #470107

    Wilson 4G booster... I have one in my rig, and I have used it for quite some time. It does increase the signal by a significant amount. I actually bought a Verizon mifi jetpack, and it works like a charm. Now, I can use the mobile mifi or slip my cell phone in the booster cradle. Works great...

    Tundra is a great platform... D45, . I have a 2011 Tundra Crew Max, and I think this is a great platform to build upon. I started with a grade model and built it up myself.
