Manfred's #thicc boi aka 'White Rhino'

ooooh i do like that Amazon buy, not to shabby on the price either. I didn't know all those problems occurred with the hi lift though, seemed like a staple taco piece of kit

Works well.

 

- Stripped the spare tire off, due to the height and weight it started bending the carrier attachment point (solution in the works)
- Swapped the tailgate hinge for upcoming camera relocation
- Removed the camera wiring, potentially shortening the length, though I will attempt not to
- Planning on the mounts for aux reverse light

 

Extended brake lines curtiousy of @Canoehead . The warm weather can't come soon enough

 

Do they come pre-rusted for our Ontario winter?

 

Actually yes there are some rust spots I'm going to try and clean up haha. At the same time is there a brake line somehow connected to the ABS that needs to be bled?

I bled the four wheel lines over the summer but was still left with a bit of play when pushing on the breaks so maybe when I install these I can tackle the abs lines of there are any?

 

I am not sure on ABS part, but it's all connected, so watch out for introducing air there. Just have somebody press the pedal while you bleed each line one by one again and keep adding fluid.

 

yeah it is all connected....Ask me how I know....You really need to bleed the system. Even when you think its done keep going. I would just do the rears, then the front. You can bleed the system though the front which is way easier then the rear. Go through a bottle of fluid.

I will say that if there is air in the system you will know. This is because you won't have breaks.....Again.. Ask me how I know. Worst part is it started getting worst on the highway, on the way to a trail....and got worst throughout. Was awesome.

 

I'll get your take on it. I thought i had taken care of it over the summer, but need a second opinion lol

 

None of this could have been possible without @tacoma16. Plus he pretty much did this on his own lol. Been waiting on this to be completed since about June.


The Before

The plan..sort of



This disaster...







Four wires for four relays, 3 are being used but all are ready to go.


All of it done, finally done.

 

The good

The bad

The retarded

 

Tire carrier / Cap update (Mega pic heavy):



Before damage from a parking garage.



centre support added, left and rights repaired, plus I got a free table saw out of it. 80 bucks for the work.



The plan to beefen up the carrier for off trail routes/35 inch tires as @tacoma16 says lol. All work was graciously provided by @Atlas86




Plans for the future, include drop down table for cooking, jerry can holders x2, mounts and boxes for recovery equipment but firstly bed drawer.

 

Looks really good!

 

Awww yeah! Looks good on there. Feel solid? Paint finish ok?

 

Super stout. Unfortunately I cant quite yet see the vibrations without the rear camera being mounted, but it feels like nothing it really going to fuck it up.

Thanks again for all your work! I wish there was something I could help YOU out with lol

 

Sweet build brother!

 

Thanks man, if you ever need a change of pace from the desert, make your way up to this winter wonderland lol
