[QUOTE="Bark beetle, post: 1107081, member: 21513"] I managed to make it at least one week before the modifications started. Maybe it is a disease! First, the bed needs proper tie downs with a combo of HD rings and airline track to lock down the camping gear. Second, the bed needs mounts for the Scepter cans and the winch. The Scepter cans ended up fitting perfect behind each wheel well with a lightweight and simple mount made by modifying the box link plates and a couple ratchet straps (only one each shown). [ATTACH=full]265513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265515[/ATTACH] Then I accidentally packed the exhaust with mud twice in one day and I resisted the sawsall for a few days but when I looked at it today I had to start cutting. Moving the exhaust was actually pretty simple and is in a much better position for offroad. It isn't perfect but given that I only made a few cuts and 2 welds to make it happen, this should work for quite awhile. I also did a little cleanup work to the rear bumper that makes it look a little better and helps the departure angle a bunch at the corners of the truck where it is needed the most.

[ATTACH=full]265521[/ATTACH] Seems short by an inch until you realize that the bonded rubber bushings used in the shackle resist torsion. You have to add the weight of the tires, wheels, and dynamic motion that the truck actually sees in use (or stand on the axle and jump down hard on it) and the tape gets real close to 14". The lawyers need to be shot and I can't stand all the crap they plaster all vehicles with now, so I made them go away. This also gives a basic overview of the 800A interior that another member was asking about. No touch screen and fixed gauge info, as they are not part of the display. Doesn't bother me a bit.

[ATTACH=full]265522[/ATTACH] More will come in the next few weeks and months as I continue to modify the 800A+ for the offroad expeditions I take.
