HOIST WINCH PLATE

GENCO Roofing stopped by with this Harbor Freight Electric Hoist and wanted something that would mount to the ceiling beam in his building. The Bracket is made from .250" thick USA A36 steel. It was a pretty straight forward project. Thanks Geno for the support!

POWER TANK MOUNTING BRACKET

"The Power Tank COMP SERIES features our patented SuperFlow HPx regulator (200 PSI / 40 CFM). This amazing regulator will run a 1000 ft/lb. 1/2" drive impact and is the highest flowing 200 PSI regulator in the market. Our COMP SERIES also features our HP1200 high pressure braided air line, top-notch fittings and couplers, and our solid aluminum Power Grip guard designed to protect from a 4' drop. And we don't use cheap steel "fire extinguisher" brackets that rust and bend after a season. All of our brackets are designed and made by us just for Power Tanks. Do not be fooled by copy-cats. We are the original. We guarantee our SuperFlow regulators to be the BEST in performance, speed, and reliability and we back it up with a limited lifetime warranty. You can always trust the Power Tank brand. Made in the USA."

I think that between the video and the description you get a pretty good idea of what a Power Tank is and what it is used for. I got this information from the Power Tank website. I love this thing out on the trail! I just had nowhere to put it safely and out of the way until I built this .250" steel mounting plate mounting bracket for the bed of the 1984 Toyota. After it was done I had it powder coated with a wrinkle black. I like how easy and access able the tank is now in this location. Simplicity goes a long way sometimes when it comes to solving a problem.

STORMS FXRS LIFT PLATES IN ACTION

This a follow up on the Josh Storm FXRS JB forward control lift plates. After the plates where coated it was time for the moment of truth. To make sure that they fit and worked. So Josh brought the bike to the shop and we bolted these black beauties on and then took her for a spin to make sure that they worked like we wanted. They where a great success lifting the controls up 1.25" from their original positions on the FXRS. This is perfect because now you can't hit the pegs on the concrete anymore. You can lean as hard as you want and not hit which added 10 points to the riding safety on this bike.lol

1984 TOYOTA EXTRA CAB REAR AXLE BUILD

This truck has been and will be an on going project for me here at Dunlop Customs. It is my personal truck that i bought awhile back so that I could cut, carve, and experiment on something 4x4 related. It is a 1983-84 Toyota 4x4 22r Extra Cab with 175,000 miles on her. This post is about the rear axle swap that was performed right before a moved into my shop. 

Alright now for the post. So this rear axle is off a 95'  V6 Toyota 4Runner 4x4. This is a very common swap for us Toyota guys because the housing is an overall 3" wider. And well in the Crawler world wider is better!!!!! The more width you can get under your rig the more stable you be driving the trails. Out with the old axle and in with the new. First up is to cut all the brackets off that will not be needed for this swap! Everything must come off so that I can get the right placement for all the new brackets, armor and mounting tabs. The plasma made a huge difference in the prepping department.

After all the brackets and extra tabs where all cut off a ratchet style Detroit locker was installed in the 5:29 gears.

The new leaf spring mounts are welded into place as well as the new shock mounts.

I was very disappointed with this other companies weld quality. They had a have a great design but what was shipped to me was sad at best. Very bad welds on these pieces of Armor full of pits, holes, and really bad under cut. Top Pick is the other guys welds and the bottom picture is the welds that where left by me after grinding and the old welds out and re welding. 

I can't help myself!! I really like the way the armor is bent up so after I welded I felt the need to take it one step further and grind the welds all smooth and then DA sand the surface. I think they turned out great! 

New armor welded on, painted, installed, and filled with new gear oil! Rear axle is done. Now lets see how the front axle turned out. Stay tuned for more on this truck.
