Didn't exactly do anything to the TC, but I did start the modification and installation of my frame mounted tie downs for my new RAM. I originally purchased them for my 2004 Ram 2500, moved them to my 2008 RAM 3500 SRW (no modification needed), and installing them on my 2013 RAM 3500 DRW.

Rear tie downs are on and I will pick up some 1/4" x 2" steel tomorrow along with some 4" bolts to attach the front pieces.

I had built a new table a few weeks ago. This is used when the dining area is converted into a bed or if I have my grandsons with me and it's raining outside:

But when I'm camping alone it is simply too big and in the way. I was wandering around Lowes and I saw they sell nice round table-tops in various diameters. I bought one in 24" for $17 and gave it three coats of clear poly....Bought an extra table mount off Ebay for $5.95 and vola!

You like?

How does that round table compare in weight to the factory one? About the same? I assume the round is real wood vs fiberboard factory.

Installed for the first time a TorkLift Lock an Load generator tray. Sticks out from the front of the truck much more than my present one so going to have to put flag poles on to remind me it is there. Looks like it is going to be a very secure and theft resistant way to carry a generator.

I installed a storage box on the rear bumper to hold all my BBQ items. Since I have a portable platform that holds my Weber Q on the rear bumper, this should make things handy. I had to fabricate two aluminum "U" brackets to hold the box and mount it to the bumper. I wanted to fasten thru the bottom of the bumper and not make any holes on the top in case I ever take the box off.

The box normally is made with a top handle to carry it as a tote box.I special ordered the box not to have any top handle since I wanted to use it as a table while cooking and not have a handle in my way. The box is 24" long, 9 1/2" high, and 10" deep. I had to wait 4 weeks to get it.
[image]

The brackets had to be hand formed to wrap around the rear bumper
[image]

The brackets were first bolted to the bottom of the box

Then the box and brackets were slipped over the bumper and bolted up thru the bottom. The box only sticks out past the edge of the bumper about 2 1/2".
