    Pre-Runner Tire mount and fab tailgate plates

    the mount is from Fabtech. It's a 3 point bolt in mount that will hold a 35inch tire. Mine is a 37inch tire but I let it hang over the tailgate area. Works really well just get grade 8 bolts and washers to mount. With a 35 inch tire you could mount jerry cans on both sided with a standard bed...

    step side roll pan

    Ok so now I understand why the draft angles were not the biggest deal to people. Didn't realize till after I removed the bumper the SMC bedside was cut in that area so it will clear. I installed the rollpan and man what a pain in the ass, and I'm not really to happy with how it came out. I may...

    overhead console in standard cab

    ok so it took a bit longer to get all the things I wanted to do done. Took the overhead apart, and cut the tabs and just drilled into the sub roof sheetmetal. Worked like a charm. Before I did that I recovered part of it with some black perf leather to match the SS seats. Also added in two...

    step side roll pan

    don't have the bumper off yet or the pan fitted. I took some pictures of the roll pan ends, please take a look at the draft flange on the pan. You will notice the flange lip wont let the pan lay flat on the SMC bed ends.

    step side roll pan

    The end circled has me confused a bit. This piece do you guys just over lap the actual SMC with new roll pan so it sits ontop? Or do you trace the shape on the SMC bed and cut the shape out to match. I ask because normally I would just overlap, but the metal rollpan on the edge circled has a...

    Pre-Runner Tire mount and fab tailgate plates

    the gas cans are not real they look like Jerry cans but they are storage cans. The top flips up on a hinge and I can lock it. Great for tools and jumpers. The flares are actually stock stainless steel fleet side accent flares. They say they don't fit for stepsides on the websites, but as you can...

    step side roll pan

    so I ordered a roll pan for my step side, it showed up and I'm trying to figure out why it has the strange ends on both side, where a fleet side is just straight. Looking at pictures in the interweb it looks like people keep the ends, so I have a few questions since i can't find a write up on...

    yea, Oakland can be a tough place if you like your stuff, haha. No I don't work for a fab shop, just a guy who likes to design and build stuff on the side.

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    Biggest reason I did not do the newer seats was the seatbelt is intergraded into the seat. With doing something custom like this, I did not want to put the stress on the seat bracket. FYI the seatbelts in OBS trucks match the new seatbelt mounts on the new seats perfect, they clip right in.

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    I would not worry about the bolt holes, and look for a seat that has a simple bolt in track mount to save time. If your not a guy thats big on fab time i would suggest a call to Corbeau seats they sell the direct fit bolt on seat brackets. Saves time getting the seats level, and they are...

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    So far the seats have been great, I'm 6'2 and 190 with a waist of 33inch. Holds perfect and is comfortable also the bolster is not as big as a race seat so getting in and out has been fine even with my truck as lifted as much as mine is. The heated seats also tied into my remote start as also...
