Well most of my stuff came back from powder coat yesterday day, I think the color match is pretty close. I wanted power coat for durability now just waiting for the tire carrier to be finished.
Installed Rockhard sport cage
I also put my spydershade cover on, just the front so when Freedom tops are removed
this cage turned out so much better than I thought. When I had everything installed during the test fix it looked ok but now with powder coat it looks sweet

Finished my air tank today. Ride Tech 5 gallon mounted on the front of a Tuffy box. I've got an ARB Twin on the inside of the box. It takes a little while to charge up from empty, but I should be able to run air tools in decent bursts depending on the tool's air consumption.
Not sure why the picture's upside down, I'm on my phone.

DIY Ski Rack using handle from hand-truck and 25' of paracord
...and a cable bike lock.
using about 25' paracord wrapped through the spare tire carrier and the holes in the wheel.
and bungee cables through the holes in the tailgate where the stock spare tire carrier stops.
and then a little extra security - a chain through a piece of hose to secure the skiis to the frame. the ski bindings sit snug on the handle - chain is just for safety.
it was a little ugly though, so I covered the tie joints with strap velcro and a piece of plastic office cable holder to cover the paracord serving as cross-bar.
However, if in the unfortunate event that I should need to use the spare tire, I would have to untie (un-ravel) the full 25' of paracord - essentially dismantling the ski rack... but hopefully it won't come to that this winter lol
