Final pic??

Well as to what it will look like in its finished state , besides the custom rhino rack which iam still building , the thread will go on , but it wont look much different from the outside in looks

 

[TigerST]

Arrr ok. Sounds good. Mine is black not sure why. Thinking maybe brake dust or exhaust leak

Hey Steve, it looks great what you have done to your Nav, must admit white does look great. hope to put some pics up soon of mine, been busy getting mine ready and adding some extras. Great job Steve. By the way, is that a radio tower next to your carport on the left.

Thanks very much Mark , looking forward to seeing yours , and this should answer your question lol

wow, one mother of a tower and antenna. I gather you are a A.R. operator going by the antenna, my brother lives in Tecoma and he is a long time A.R operator.

 

[steve1961]

Yeah iam , been involved in the hobby since I was 15 , that's a lot of years ago

All the goodies required to build my touring rack arrived today including a 234 watt 36 '' cree light bar which will be mounted under the front of the rack when its built over the weekend

Looking forward tto seeing how much light you get out of all that one night at the Muster Steve. Should put yours up against mine with the stock bulbs, I know the difference will be like .... night and day, but it could interest a few?????

 

[steve1961]

Should be awesome , 770 watts of light in total

Yep, nice one Steve. I'm not ARO but have been studying up. I'll have to get around to sitting for the Limited one of these days but to much other crap on ATM.

Back on topic. Will have to post a few pics of my of my King Cab soon. Nice work on that thing of yours. It's given me a few pointers along the way. Thanks

Mate. That is an effective way of doing the rack. Would be heaps cheaper than a platform.

 

[steve1961]

Thanks Nav , yes it is , the platforms are $ 800.00 and that's without accessories , this has cost me less than half that , all accessories included and built on the HD Rhino rack , obviously that does not include the awning . tube or high lift , light , which i already had , and its one piece , lift on , lift off when not being used , light power will run down besides the snorkel into an Anderson plug

 

[Navmania]

Yeah the ease of getting it on and off is a great bonus.

 

[TigerST]

Awesome idea Steve I'm steeling the Anderson plug idea.��

put it on the roof of your truck I would like to see it
