Seems to tick all the boxes! Happy with the result. The front runner drop down table I bought is simply not going to fit unless I either deleted the wiper or had the arm stick out further, neither of which I wanted to do. Plus, I really don't need a fancy table like that just to hold my stove, so I'll get a sheet of aluminum and make a simple table instead.
Thanks. As far as looks go, "good" was pretty much all I was going for. It doesn't look factory professional, but thats cool, it ties in with my whole "DIY" look to my truck. I love that I'm using an old wheel hub for the mount haha
I'm happy with the 4.37s. I think 4.56s would be a bit better off road but you would definitely be hurting yourself on the highway runs.
I just saw this reply.
That's good info. I end up towing a LOT so I guess I'll probably end up with the 4.56s. Gotta get that axle breaking torque transfer.
Also, Jeff, I like the mount. The wheel hub is a nice touch. Those tapered roller bearings should last a LONG time in that capacity, and cheap/easy to replace if you ever need to.

Thanks, yeah, tapered roller bearings seem like overkill in this application, but hey, they'll work. The transfer case uses a lot of them.
Next up I'll grind off the rust, and paint it.
In the works... fold down table:
Idea is pretty simple, just an aluminum sheet with angle for the frame. Piano hinge, wire rope for support, and draw latches to lock it closed.
