HooliganRoams' Overland Build

Been a gap in posts but definitely not a gap in progress. Finished up the build 2 days before my trip. This is where we are....

Exhaust re route






Trans Skid
Had to cut it down and tap it so I could mount it to the All Pro IFS skid



Dual battery fully wired. Temp box for trip purposes







Driver and Passenger Fire Extinguishers

Using the floor mat screws to hold down a steel base plate I made.




Extinguisher mount is bolted dow to the steel plate which is bolted down using the floor fat screws. Extremely sturdy, 6k miles and rough terrain and they have not loosened up.

 

I'll update the build here soon but here's some pics from my big trip. All said and done, performance was fantastic.

 

Love this build, how's your ARB fridge hooked up back there? Do you just leave it there permanently?

 

I ran the wiring through the frame up to the side cubby.


Took the feet off the fridge and ran bolts to plywood which is then bolted to the bed. Gets the job done for now until I get a sliding tray built. It comes out in about 5min.

 

Never seem to get on get on here but it's time to update.

Built a fridge and table slide a couple months ago.

All aluminum from a local metal supplier and the 36" locking drawer slides I got on Amazon

Cost came close to manufactured slides but not really a selection for big fridges and most don't have a table slide.

 

Who did you use for CMC?

 

I would guess Allout Offroad in North Richland Hills, that's the shop that did his suspension.

 

I meant did he get a CMC plate from a company, like Bay Area metal fab or the like.

 

Likely All-Pro, he basically bought their entire product line. Or the shop fabbed their own, they are a full scale offroad fab shop, doing lots of custom work.

 

@HooliganRoams you're alive!

 

Indeed I am!

 

UPDATE
​

Back at it......


Magnusson Supercharger and Transmission cooler




Wanted the ability to level the load and also level off for sleeping so I put on some Carli Long Travel airbags in the back. Had to do some custom bracket and exhaust shielding as well.





Also got some help flexing the truck a bit to address some front pick weld rubbing issues. Took as much off as we could, minor rub on full compression and turn but not much more can be done without heavy cutting.





Got the supercharger so figured it would be a good idea to be able to stop this beast.
StopTech 6 piston disk breaks. ALL THE WAY AROUND.





I have to admit, doing the disk conversion in the rear would have been much easier at a shop. Absolute nightmare for me. Since I have custom rear shock mounts I had to modify on the fly to be able to get everything bolted back on. Battling rain, destroying multiple axle seals, a dozen assembly/disassembly, and a splash of ingenuity it finally went back together and have had no issues.








Made a snorkel, don't have any build pics, but its on in some of the pics.





Got some miles on it now so did a bunch of general maintenance along the way.
Full fluid flush
Nitto Ridge Grapplers (Toyo MT to loud)
Rust removal/repair/repaint skids and touched up the sliders, bumpers, and rack

Adventure Photos​

Haven't been able to go out much but when I did it was a blast. Here are some photos from different places over the past couple years.



Alpine Loop Colorado



(sorry I can't take a picture right now, I am driving. Should have got behind the camera lol)




Big Bend National Park/State Park



Teton National Park
-Got enough snow on the last night to make it fun getting out



Somewhere in Nevada



As far North West in Washington that I could get



Antelope Island/Great Salt Lake Utah


Route into Moab Utah from Colorado
-not fun.....


Zion National Park Utah
-Did some canyoneering and got some cool shots


Southern California






Oh, I got a new toy...... '63 CJ

 

Well, today was fun..... Drive shaft is toast.

Snapped at the transmission and went wild. Heavy damage to exhaust, heat shielding, and underbody.


Could not get the bolts to budge on the rear diff so rigged up a sling and limped in 4wd to more tools. Trans plate was also a nightmare. Took two of us on a breaker bar to get movement. (Long breaker bar now in the truck tool bag)

 

Clearly I’m terrible at updating this.

Drive shaft replaced.
Kilmat sound deadening cab roof
Rigid diffused side flood lights on roof rack.

Fully operational and a few little trips in the past 2 years.

 

Now that we are somewhat updated…

Sad news for me, potential good news for you…..

FOR SALE!
