geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Definitely, we'll see what I end up doing. Still have a week before I order the bar

 

Could always use stick brackets. That's what I did

 

Stick brackets? Im intrigued.. Can you post pics of how you mounted yours?

 

Sorry. Stock* and yea I'll take them in the morning

 

Oh okay gotcha, thanks!

 

After 3 days of UPS not wanting to release the package, I FINALLY got my Pelfreybilt battery box!



Shoutout to @Rock Lobster for the packing peanuts!

 

Late to the party.. What battery you going to run?

 

Old tried and true like everyone else

Die Hard Platinum 31M

 

Thanx

I'm in the market after the holidays.

 

Same let me know if you find any deals..I plan on going with Sears for convenience but they want $310

I wish @ramonortiz55 would do a Diehard Battery GB

 

diehard platinums are no longer in production. anything left is solely vendor stock.

 

Well, damn..where's that GB at...........

I might just see if Sears has any left in stock (fingers crossed) and then look either at the Northstar or the deep cycle Optimas. As long as either one fits snugly in the Pelfreybilt box, I'm content.

 

Since the truck has come a long way in the last year, I figured I would do a list of major things done throughout the year:

December 2014:


December 31, 2014 - My RTT from the GB! This thing was so cost efficient and has made life so easy I don't think I can go without it anymore!



January 2015 - Maxtrax and Plano case for my recovery items. Gained so much space back from behind the rear seats!



April 2015

My brother, @GARSHA91, got me a 4 gallon rotopax fuel can!



Relentless Fab bed bars for the RTT! Really liked mounting it this way since the tent sat below the roof line thus not compromising clearance on the trails.



40" Heretic LED light bar for the Prinsu roof rack!



2 gallon water can from Rotopax



May 2015

Went wheeling with the new setup to test everything out!



ARB 1250 awning from zscott!



July-August 2015: Took a break from the mods since my fiancee and I purchased a house and took a few months off after that to get the house setup, ready, and worked on every weekend.

October 2015:

Removed the Plano case from the roof rack and sold it and my Relentless fab bed bars to my brother, @GARSHA91.

Tepui Duffle Bag for recovery gear and tools! Got a killer deal!



Sold all the accumulated Chevy 63 swap parts to @GARSHA91



Sold my Ranch hard shell tonneau cover to another local member for $500! Picked up a LEER 100R brand new color matched, with windoors, and a carpeted liner for a smoking deal! Had to fill it with all my goodies!



Prinsu Caprac (scratch and dent sale for a heck of a deal) and cargo netting for the shell installed!





November 2015

40" Heretic finally installed and wired up!





CUSTOM requested Kydex bar protectors for the Prinsu crossbars when the RTT is mounted on top



Rotopax mounting plate and 4 gallon fuel can mounted to the roof rack!



Second switch panel from Iggy. finally wired up thanks to @GARSHA91



Replaced my old shitty bed LEDs after about a year of not working



December 2015

Safari Snorkel!!



Pelfreybilt battery box (to be installed..)



PowerTank inflator! This thing is seriously AWESOME!



Of course had to test everything out AGAIN! especially the snorkel



COMING winter/spring 2016

ATO stock length Tacoma greasable shackles



12" FOX 2.0 shocks



SOS shackle flip bracket


Updated To-do list:
Fix CB wiring
purchase RTIC cooler
12" FOX shocks in the rear w/ SOS flip bracket and ATO greasable shackles
Pelfreybilt battery box w/ Diehard 31M battery upgrade
1000 WATT inverter from Christmas 2014 waiting to be installed still..
install Blue Sea Systems Dual USB Charger Socket (rear passenger accessible)
install 4x Blitzpro 6LZ light bars
foglight anytime mod..
swap in Apocalyptic lighting rock lights
install LEDs for the RTT

Thanks to those of you still following the build and I hope everything has a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!!

 

Merry Christmas buddy

 

Same to you! Merry Christmas dude!

 

Must have been good this year:





• Xbox one and a second wireless controller
• black ops 3, forza 6, ride, and guitar hero
• Fury and Entourange on Blu-ray
• Milwaukee drill bit set (handy for the shackle flip )
• BOLT receiver hitch lock
• KBVooDoo tailgate cap!



Stoked on the tailgate cap but I'll have to get the tailgate reinforcement first then install everything at once!

Hope you guys have a great Christmas and happy holidays!!

 

Also, @northwesttaco, that Powertank inflator was a god send! It's so convenient airing up now!

 

Good! Cant wait to use mine, gotta thank @ChandlerDOOM for that one

 

I'm glad I saw it and I'm glad I was able to get it for my trip out that weekend. Thank you both!

 

First, I like your build. A lot. Second, the Diehard Platinum is a re-branded Odyssey 31M-PC2150. I'll be installing it tomorrow in a Pelfrey cage I mounted up in my bed:
