Custom Items You've Built For Your Truck

While we were up-building my son's Cummins RamCharger, I built a hidden front-end box receiver. Transferred the bolt-holes from the bumper-mount to cardboard, had matching holes punched thru some 3/8 x 4 strap steel, built the receiver to ride right between the frame-rails (remember, the bumper-mount brackets are outboard on the rails). For access to the box, it was a simple matter of cutting a square hole thru the bumper, and hanging the license tag on a piano hinge. Also fabricated a surfboard-rack from hell out of some of the same stuff, bolted to the driver's side wheel-well inside the cab. A short-board (less than 7 feet) rides inside the cab. The factory bumper and the home-built receiver are gone, now, in favor of a custom bumper from Tactical Armour Group. It's got a built-in receiver.
