Rustbucket's Muricah Build

Looking sharp Garrett! I'm glad you decided to stick with 35s. Send me some photos so we can post your pics on our Instagram account.

 

I get off at 4 and Tuesdays I lead spin workouts for Ironteam. Otherwise I would check it out

 

Thanks Vin so am I. They just roll over stuff offroad. I'll definitely send some pictures

 

No worries.

 

Hey Garrett I'm digging those 35s. How are they without a re-gear? How's the acceleration and MPGs? thanks bud!

 

Thanks for checking out my build man. Because I have a manual it really isn't that bad. I get about 14 to 15 mpg highway which is a bummer, but I was ready for it. Acceleration lags a little bit, but not to the point where I feel unsafe merging or passing.

 

Thinking about picking up a rooftop tent sometime in the next month or so, but haven't decided which brand or size. Also still trying to figure out how I want to mount it. Right now I'm leaning towards the Tepui Autana Siberian, but the CVT Mount Shasta is in close contention. I think I'll inevitably just go with the Tepui because they are local so I save the cost of shipping and it is slightly larger, but still in the same price range as the CVT.

They are all from the same factory. Color might be the only difference. Others will disagree but I believe the only difference is price and service.

The the interior of the Autana is dimensionally the same as the Kukenam. Where it shines is in that extra couple feet at the ladder end-I should have picked the Autana.
I have say, I am partial to the Siberian Camo.

 

Yea I figured they were all made in the same place, and that the branding and color options are what jack the price up. I completely agree on the 3' foot overhang, no matter which one I go with, it will have the 3' foot overhang. I have to say I was an immediate fan of the Siberian Camo, and think it will go really well with the Speedway Blue

 

Yeah buddy

 

Even with the 35s I still feel like my truck is tiny next to yours haha

 

Cut, edge trimmed, and installed my fender flares on Friday night. So glad to have them back on, it looks way better. Thanks to Patrick (Pdugan6) for the replacement fender clips, I appreciate it buddy

 

fenders look great! Did you trim them yourself?

 

Very nice! Fenders look really great!

 

Thanks man. Yea I used a jigsaw for both the fenders and flares then finished up the cuts on the flares with some door edge trim

Thanks Ian I'm really happy with how they turned out. The new tires on your rig are looking really good

 

Thanks!

 

Great truck man, love the color , quick question, did you re-gear?

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. The color is pretty sweet. No re gear yet, but it is on the high priority list. I would have it done already, but I'm saving up for a new bike

 

Nice truck, got any pics of your cab mounts?

 

Thank you very much. I'll snap some pics tomorrow for you
