well the awning is a home brewed creation... so
3 inch pvc pipe, some 1/2 inch emt tubing with 90 degree elbows, gortex fabric and throw in a couple of hose clamps
cut a 1/2 inch slit in the pvc piping
sew a sleeve on each end of the gortex fabric
insert 6 foot length of emt tubing into the sleeve
roll up all the fabric and insert the emt tubing into the pvc pipe
pull the fabric sleeve out of the slit
Insert another 6 foot section of emt tubing into the exposed sleeve
attach pvc tube to side of cargo basket with 2 hose clamps
bungee the external emt tube to the pvc pipe

Re: 32vsnake's 2008 FX4 build thread
Cool build. Definitely some real useful mods.
Any plans to lift it?

Re: 32vsnake's 2008 FX4 build thread
How much did the supercharger cost? How much more HP did that give you?

No plans to lift it... I was contemplating a long travel system from BTF but I don't really care for the appearance that most of the LT trucks have

it was roughly $3000 and change... never had the truck on a dyno so no idea what it put out... 5.5 lbs of boost is roughly 80hp at the flywheel. But it was and always will be a 4000 lb truck with truck gearing... IMO after having done it and lived with it, it's not worth the effort.

Thanks... not sure if there is going to be much else that gets done though

Re: 32vsnake's 2008 FX4 build thread
Wish I could have gotten the two tone..
What did you hook the brackets onto for the KC's?
And if I may ask, what is the rating on the rear springs?

Through the rad support.. made up some L-brackets and tied the lights together with some flat bar across the top of the bumper. The lights are stabilized by some ghetto spacers made out of fuel line
Rear springs are stock
