Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Pelfrey cleared it up, here's the reference for anyone recently with the same problem

 

So I came home last night and figured today I could work on this vinyl wrap. I wanted to do the center console, steel wheel panels, and the surround that goes around the radio. Well I did the center console first and while I had a decent plan in my mind actually working with the vinyl was a bitch and I'm not one for patience. My heat gun is a little stong and actually just ripped a hole on each side, Probably from stretching it too much. Center console looked like poo but I figured I could always re do it, but after putting it back in I really didn't like how it looked. Now the steering wheel is what I really wanted to get done and I'm pretty happy with it, some wrinkles at the top edge but barely noticeable

The radio surround piece was a little more involved than what I thought so I put it back together for another day, probably going to do the cluster and tweeter bezels once I get my sound deadening.

Its official, I wish I had a long bed. @Palehorse1 here ya go, they didn't mention anything about a short bed offering so I may be SOL

 

Wow that's bad ass. Depends what you want your truck for though, overlanding or wheeling? I'd take a short bed any day for wheeling

 

Well I just read in the main article of the unveiling and it says the first offerings are going to be 5-6ft beds so I may be in luck. I really hope it will be available

Don't have to worry about the torsion bar on the flippac, its aluminum and weighed in at 340lbs, and don't have to worry so much about it on the trail.

Hopefully the pricing is within reason, flippac is between 5-7k

 

How much does the flippac weigh?

 

Probably around the same, It looks like the flippac was removed from ATs site so could know for sure.

Still for being stonger and weighing the same still thats a plus

 

DO IT

 

Damn your ninja edit

 

Got your suspension ready for the weekend?

 

I do. The UCAs are being overnighted to arrive tomorrow morning. And maaaybe there will be enough time to install my skids/winch. Got a ton of work to get done, could have used the extra hand if you were around.

 

Which UCA's did you get? Plans for LCA's?

 

MCM fab. No plans for LCAs for the time being. Too rich for my blood, at least till something happens to justify them

 

Yeah wish I could help out, shouldn't be too bad tho. Did you get the front/mid/rear skids?

 

Forgot you are a 2014, you have plenty of life left in your LCA's. I would think about skids though, I've come close to hitting mine a few times

 

Yea the 4xInnovation setup. 1/4inch steel front, 3/16s mid and transfer case ones. Heavy SOBs. Just between those and the winch is 200lbs im going to add, but 700lb coils ftw.

Yea ive been eyeing the skids for them already. Probably be the next purchase.

 

Im still on the fence on whether I should do a reroute or not.. If I had it done already I would have went 4x for skids for sure. Kinda regret it now but I wanted something pelfrey and they had a sale..

 

I havent relocated yet

Wasnt sure where it needed to go. Ill find out at least though

 

Uhh you definitely aren't installing more than the IFS skid than this weekend lol
