Started work on the roof top tent frame for above the tub, and I'm redesigning my sliders for something different. Just ordered a reverse camera and was told LOKKA will be here early next week. Thinking about taking a night mission in the mountains to test the LED bar... Or drink a few beers.

Frame stood up to the test of the tracks, tent was brilliant! Time to start sliders me think.
The frame sits on wheel arches on the front of the tub, and the legs are attached to the front hooks, and the rear just bolts straight through the tub. I'm going to mount the hi lift and shovel to it too, real happy! Kept most of the morning rain out of the tub too.

Sure fatboy, it's 1400 long by 1260 wide. The hook buckle is holding the front onto the tie down rails, kept tight over all surfaces I drove. The rear just has a high tensile bolt through the tub with big washer on the other side. Both feet have high density rubber underneath.

New switches arrived for tent frame lights, and my LOKKA finally arrived, YAAAAAY!!!!
I still have steering issue, so might get mechanic to put in lokka and check out steering.

Got some disturbing news about my steering issue. My mechanic believes the issue to be the main bar that runs between the two front wheels, so once i do a bit of research ill know exactly what its called, and he also recommends anything i can do to strengthen the steering system. Also put in new glow plugs on Friday, man they make a huuuuge difference. Nav starts perfect now, really happy.
Now just need some time to put in the ERG plates, rear camera and hi-lift jack mount.

Hey mate, they're off eBay, $7 for both delivered. Just make sure you order the 3 wire ones, not the 2 wire ones.
Hi pix
that bar that connects the two sides together is called a drag link. Had to replace the one on my duel cab before i sold it last week. The part was going to cost $450 fitted from pedders including a wheel alignment. I ended up getting one for $150 from the local parts guy then $50 for a wheel alignment. took me about 1 hour including finding the tools and washing my hands at the end.

Yep job you can do yourself for sure. I bought mine from superior engineering, heres the link;

Week after i bought it, was in Bursons Auto and they had the exact same one on the shelf. Didnt ask for the price there however.
Just break the the joints with a big hammer. Dont hit the draglink or threaded sections. Give it a few knocks on the part it inserts into. Heaps of videos on youtube showing how to get ball joints loose.
