Very nice! Great build. Where’d you find those acrylic holders for the salt and pepper, etc?

Bombsight,

 

Did you ever find a solution to the swing out rear tire carrier?  I recall you offering to let Aluminess borrow your truck to fabricate one, but they turned you down.  Personally, I'd really like to have a spare on the back, with the option to strap maxtrax or a trash-a-roo to it. 

 

I was considering going with the wilco:

However, once installed, tongue rating is only 7,500 lbs.  My truck is closer to 10,000 lbs with FWC on board.  Would be problematic if I needed to be recovered from the rear...

No luck yet.

I reached out to Aluminess.  They've designed a front bumper and are ready to do the designs for a rear bumper.  Only catch is it requires 3 trips to their factory in San Diego area of CA.  #1 - take bumper off, look it over, measurements; #2 - install prototype 6-8 weeks later; #3 - install final product 2-4 weeks after this.

 

With two young children and a busy work schedule, this may be a little difficult for me to overcome.  Perhaps you have some flexibility/interest?  I would love a rear tire swing and box...

I could send them my bumper.

... but 12 weeks lolligagging around, waiting on a bumper, doesn't sound appealing.

Finally finished the FWC's bedroom. It seems to be happier than most others.  :D

What?! No AC?

Otherwise, I'd considering living in there. Wow!
