Big Blue

[Straight Arrow]

You could be a real redneck if the tailgate will now NOT open.

Quite the hunting rig, that thing will be able to haul all of the family or buddies and several dead animals. It would work well in Nevada do to the lack of trees you have plenty of room to turn around.

Next on the agenda....I am currently looking for a front end receiver to enable me to install a 12k Warn and have front and back capabilities. I think I may be becoming a truck whore

 

[SFC B]

Here is said receiver...arrived yesterday and installed today!!! The Warn 25852 was actually EASIER to install than the directions stated How often does that happen? Also included is a pic of my newly constructed bedroll. Bought the foam from foambymail.com and then a canvas drop cloth from HF for a total investment of about $50 Oh yeah, and the shameless plug pic!

Sticker looks good. Liking your muscle truck.

You know, those trucks look real nice with about 8" of lift and 38" tires..

Here is the latest addition to Blue.....for a cool $20. Killing the need for tarping up!! ps the hole cutouts are already covered.

I wouldn't have passed on it for $20!

Nice topper!

Got a call last night that the cradle for the winch is in. Sooo Friday I will be going to get that along with the VR10000 that I have decided to go with (along with an accompanying snatch block). Pics will follow....

 

[SFC B]

Back from the off raod shop.....cradle with hookup bundle, snatch block and winch are home!! Pics tomorrow after installation.

Looking good!

 

[SFC B]

There it is!!!

Here is the money shot!! About ready to pack and go!! What do ya'll think of this hardware ?

 

[LCH]

Looks sharp!

 

[SFC B]

It is a VR10000 and I also have an ARB HD snatch block set up so hopefully that will be plenty. Wish I had a camera to show me what the trail to camp looks like right now

 

[MT_elk]

I think I need to install one on my truck!

The damage wasn't to bad. 579 for the winch and about 250 a piece for the front receiver and the cradle/wiring package. Best part was that there wasn't anything difficult about any of it. Total install time +-2.5 hours at a leisurely pace. I am all about the front receiver so that when not in use it will live in the garage :hump:

Great set up! Thats a huntin rig for sure!
