Gramp's Old Guy Build - Agnus the GX

Subbed to see what exactly UCA skids look like and hopefully how you manage to drag them over rocks

 

Well see on order to get the ultimate approach angle you remove or self clearance everything up front. This exposes the UCA to the rock walls I plan to ram aGnus into. So its a vertical skid plate attached to the UCA made from a toilet seat . This allows me to slide right up the rock wall. Then the other skids take over allowing for further progression up the wall until I stand it on end.

Then I am just gonna get out, leave it there, grab my walker from the back seat and slide/roll off into the sunset.

 

All I got out of that is you are going to ram anus.

 

Same

 

What spring rate are you running on the front? Thinking I should go with 700lbs

 

Yeah they are 700lb on BOSS 2.0 shocks. Rides awesome although I will say my preload is low due to the 2 inch body lift. My CV axles sit almost level. Next set of coilovers will have 700lb springs on them too.

In the rear I currently have Toytec standard coils. They have been fine so far but I have some additional weight to add this coming year. Gonna move to Toytec HD rear springs.

 

More aGnus stuff getting done. Stoptech slotted rotors and pads all the way around along with SS lines front and extended SS lines in the rear. Big thanks to Beers N Gears aka @thefatkid for his expertise and muscles along with @Toytec Lifts for the SS lines to test fit and confirm they fit the GX.

 

I need a lift in my garage. Need a garage first though.

 

You need a house first

 

Garage then house, then lift?

 

Build a garage and live in that

 

More aGnus stuff. Matte Dark Gray hood vinyl.

 

Dang you, I saw that hood vinyl posted on i8mud and liked it a lot. Looks great on your rig. How did you do your grill? Need to do something to mine.

 

I would of posted on i8mud too but for some reason it is not letting me upload. Not sure why.

Grill is just sand, prime, sand, prime, paint, sand, paint, sand, paint and now touch up when a rock chips it.

Be very careful removing it as the plastic tabs are most likely cracked or broken from age. I had to use JB Weld Epoxy on a few of mine. Mainly on the bottom.

 

All the plastic tabs are broken off already. My dad tried JB welding them back on before he drove it out here but they all broke again.

 

Did he use just JB Weld or the stuff specific for plastic? The stuff I used was in a 2 part syringe. I put some on, let it harden up, then put another layer around the outside. It it thicken up first so it doesn't run down.

 

Not sure! I will ask him.

 

Fresh air. Ahhh!

Lenzdesign snorkel installed this weekend.

 

EAF points!
