2014 Base Camp Build

sooo this is freaking awesome I just ordered the exact same setup you have and now I'm wicked excited for flexx like this... also you have a really really really nice access cab.

 

Glad to see you are back. Hope to see some more pictures of you using your truck for fun.

 

Thanks! You'll love it. Just not getting those rivets out....

Man, I am terrible at getting the camera out! I always bring it along but I never reach for it. Then I get back and I realize I didn't take one photo haha.

 

Trip to Cape Lookout a couple months ago. Got engaged to be married on this trip so I took lots of photos (of the truck). Haha, I caught all kinds of hell for that... In my defense its not often I get to go to the beach, so I took advantage of it! Now that this is a special place for us - I hope to be back soon and spend a couple days on the island.

 

Congratulations! What's her complaint, she got in a picture...LOL!

 

I'm the same way, I forget to take pictures all the time. I generally remember down the road about 30 minutes or so.

I agree with @Drainbung, she's in a picture and has a smile.

Since the truck got the photo shoot, just tell her that you need to go back to get pictures of her.

 

Back in the saddle! Rear ARB and probably 5.56 ratio in the works... Working on getting my OBA system all planned out now. Man I'm terrible at electrical, haha.

EDIT FOR LATER:

Lockers would come off the 1/8 ports (center of manifold, plugged from factory) Air Line comes off the 1/4" (end of manifold, red dust cap from factory). The 1/8" ports are BPP thread, 1/4" is NPT.

Mount:

Slee Offroad Bracket
​

Compressor:

ARB CKMA12
​

Tire Kit:

ARB Pump Up Kit​

 

Anyone have thoughts on the bigger ARB twin vs the single? That's a lot of clams for the bigger compressor, bracket and manifold kit. I mean yeah it will fill tires a little faster but when you start adding it up ...

 

Switches are in. Finally got an OTRATTW to replace the ghetto one I'm using for the rock lights too. All matchy matchy now.

Relocating my camera finally too. What a bitch. I put in my camera aftermarket so it's obviously not the one meant to go with the pelfrey bracket I have (either one). I made it work with a fuck ton of glue. We'll see how long it holds up.

 

Haha when I reached in your truck to cut the rock lights on the other weekend it was dark in your truck, I found a loose round switch and was like, this must be it. Bingo bango.

can't wait to get up these next few months, gonna be a hell of a time.

 

Should be a little easier next time...

 

Also


And

 

How hard was it to replace those? Any cutting? I was debating on changing out those and the ones to the left of the steering wheel but have no clue which ones fit.

They look good

 

You're back! Congrats on the engagment!

 

Looks sick, good job.

 

Have to trim a lot more on these than the ones on the left of the steering wheel. I used various rasps to make quick work of it while checking fit every so often. Everything is covered up by the switch body after.

 

My HC swingout came today Did you have to remove the cap to take the measurements from the top of the bed? (I haven't had a chance to look at any documentation that came with it yet). NV's and 285 KO2 are on the way too

 

Nice! I'm sure you have it installed by now. I should have removed the cap. It would have made everything much easier..... but I didn't. It was sealed really well and I was being lazy. Just sort of rolled with it. If I was doing it again I would remove it.

Pics!

 

She'll be on tomorrow! I actually just picked it up this morning from my buddy's place I had it shipped too. Getting excited... wheels and tires will be about a week out since the powdercoater who is doing the method's bolts had a lead time.
