Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Honestly I would if you can get a good deal on them. I am still faster than a jeep though with all my weight and 285's haha you'll love it out here though, go up into the mountains once and your hooked on this state for the most part.

 

Ah right. Antenna wire is run through one of the many grommets in the rear of the cab under the seat storage bins. That's how I ran my bed lighting as well.

 

Thanks man. I'd like to see how/where it's bolted on. If you used a bracket, how many bolts and if you had to move any of the pesky factory pumps and crap. I have mine mounted somewhere else, but initially wanted it under the hood and may move it there later if I find a nice way of doing it.

 

I used the mount that comes with the compressor and just bolted it straight to the fender. After the mount plate was bolted I put the compressor on it. I'll try to grab some pics when I get off

 

Finally got my alignment today to push my caster out, turns out I was 4deg the opposite way lol. So now the passenger side that Ive already cut way back clears just fine, just gotta cut the driver side to match the passenger and pound some shit in some more and ill be good to go for winter wheeling

Insurance called back about the is300, the buyback was at 1k which was soo tempting to buy it back and do a manual/gte swap but extra money for the truck sounded better so hopefully no later than 2 weeks ill have a nice chuck of change for some black friday deals

TC or Dirtking LT kit, winch, gears, 12in king shocks/relocation kit, and a bunch of random gear is on my watchlist for this black friday

 

Got around to adding a locking latch for my Jerry can holder, def something I don't want to get stolen if I forget to take them out.



Also put my mid and rear skid plates back on, a little difficult when they are bent but I managed.

Shit I need to get done before thanksgiving are as follows
- put everything back on the roof rack
- another coat of paint on sliders
- fluid film frame
- put my rear seats back in
- organize bed
- clay/wax exterior
- finish snorkel
- more fender clearing
- mount fridge in bed with power
- anytime fog
- 400w anytime

Some shit won't get don't but after or on thanksgiving day I'm leaving towards OR/WA state and plan on doing some wheeling while I'm there and on the way back so I need to knock out some of the important items that can't be done while on the road

 

can't wait! How long will you be over here?

 

Only 2 weeks, would have been 3 but I'm taking the last week off so I can get an early start on my winter break, so I may spend a couple more days there after I'm done with work.

 

Oh okay, that'll give a good amount of time to check out the PNW

 

We going wheeling together?

 

Duh, gonna need a local to show me around

 

To bad funny rocks will probably have snow.. Tahuya will definitely be open, could try some lower trails back Manastash or liberty maybe? @dakotasyota

 

Funny rocks sounds dangerous in snow... Hmm we'll think of something

Did you add any cross bars to the Prinsu rack or just have what it comes with?

 

Just have the bars it came with, I want a matching rack for the topper and I would get extra bars then. So work got pushed back here so the original plan on being there the 30th isn't looking good, so frustrating

 

Hmm.. Alright. Once my topper sells im getting a prinsu. Im just going to keep my traction boards and pelican case with recovery gear in it up there, maybe 2 if I have room, so I don't think I need the HD bars.

 

Yeah that's why I never bothered with extra bars or HD bars because I only keep traction ramps, rotopax, and a case so it really isn't that much weight. The HD bars would be nice since they have more slots on the individual bars so you have more options when you go to mount something

 

Also just picked up some 4in exhaust pipe so I can finish up my snorkel plumbing this weekend when I go home, might make a little write up on it

 

Oh okay makes sense. Im not sure what I'd ever mount to the roof rack that could be heavy..

The snow has been up and down here.. Snowed a bunch this last week but then got warm and rained a ton yesterday so thats almost all gone. Huge storm here yesterday, over 200,000 people without power still.
