Tactical Overland Build

What are you now? Capt?

 

No, I'm still a 1LT. I'll promote October 1, 2016.

I'm thinking a Pelfreybilt front plate bumper and winch are in order...

 

Haha the biggest pay jump. Congrats in advance.

 

I just ordered a Pelfreybilt front bumper.

The plan is to finish the front end of the truck:

Rigid Industries grille insert in color-matched grill with SR 20" combo LED bar
Rigid Industries Dually flood (fog) lights
Rigid Industries E2 20" Driving LED bar for the bumper
Warn Zeon 10-S winch
Blue Sea fuse panel with Pelfreybilt mount
Switch-Pro SP8100 to control everything

I'll slowly buy everything as the bumper is built. I'm really looking forward to it. Not only will it look great, but it will be a huge increase in functionality for the truck.

 

That is going to be a nice set up. Let me know if you need a hand or a garage to put it on.

 

Thanks. I'll most likely install everything at the auto skills center unless you want to volunteer your garage. All of the parts should come in around the end of March, so it will still be cold enough to not want to do it outside. I can definitely use a hand though; I'll let you know.

 

bring it over when the time comes, i have plenty of room

 

Awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

 

How has the Line-X on your sliders held up?

 

Awesomeness!

 

It has held up great; not a single defect, wear mark, scratch, peel, or touch-up needed. It has survived -40F winters, trail abuse in the summers, living on a dirt/gravel road year round, and being used as a step daily.

It has been zero maintenance and continues to look great. For $120 for both sliders, I couldn't imagine anything better.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I'll do the same on my sliders. Waiting to get a quote from the local Line-X shop.

 

I need to get mine bed lined too, I used rustoleum satin black on them last summer but its no match for the gravel they put down on the roads here

 

Another great Alaskan trail ride.

 

I got a quote from the only local Line-X shop in Vegas to do my AllPro sliders. They wanted $600 for the pair. At that price it's just not worth it to me.

 

Yea, that seems ridiculous; from what I've seen, $600 will do a truck bed. You could try the DIY version. I don't think it will come out as nice, but it will be more durable than spray paint and cheaper than $600.

 

The roll on bed liner isn't bad either, as an alternative to spray paint. It's not as good as the spray on bed liners, but it's a lot tougher than spray paint.

 

I paid $300 to a shop in town for them to unbolt my rock sliders, rhino line them, then bolt them back on

 

Installed this in preparation for the Pelfreybilt front end that's coming soon!

 

Looks good! How much did the Pelfreybilt end up costing with shipping up here?
