Amocat Adventures & Build

Did you get it fully loaded? Lights, wire harness, etc.?

 

No, basics. I did not foresee a need for all the lights, if need be I can do that later if the option is warranted. Now granted, it may cost me later, but right now, and the opportunity I was given. I went with the lowest cost option. I already have ditch lights and the lights in the bumper, so front and rear are well covered. Oddly enough, as blind as I am, those two lighting systems provide just enough light that I can still see in low light. If anything maybe a pod light or two later down the road? But I really could not justify having a monster light bar across the front.

*disclaimer, I'll just leave this here so I know how long it takes me to kick myself in the ass for this decision later*

 

This also leaves me room to maybe in a few months order a front bumper from bamf..

Nice, but brute force Fab is better

 

Alright, I'll bite.

I just went to their website to take a look. It's kinda annoying that they only have a scroll bar that won't pause. Also no powder coating??

"
Hybrid bumper powder coating $185.00



*** Powder coating only available for local pick up or if you plan to have us doing the installation***"

If my calculations are correct, that puts me at a potential max of $1030.00, then I'd still gotta pay for powder coating once it gets here... and no mounts for fog lights?

Unless I am missing something?

I am open for debate here, I just found the Bamf bumper today honestly. And now the brute force fab as well...

 

Roof Rack shipped!!!!!

 

I got mine used and it’s not powder coated yet.
Think I spent $650

I just like it because it’s got all the recovery points and high lift compatibility and doesn’t weigh a ton.

also matches all my other shit.

 

I was gonna bring this up over some beers lol. Don't think I wont! Either the bumper or the rear roof rack will be my grad present to myself.

 

Knocked out two simple and quick modifications to the decked system tonight, locks and organizer tray for the drawers are in.

next up, more Molle panels and the climate control knobs which also came today!

just as soon as I finish my final paper...

 

Micro-mod day after finishing up my term paper early today!

another set of @Yo_Hec panels are in the truck, even managed to remember to take pictures to add to the write up thread.


now I just need to get a few more pouches for the passenger side door.

 

Got the next little mod done!!

 

I finally painted the center caps last weekend.

 

They look great Cook!! I'm glad you were able to breath life into them!!

 

Thanks.

 

pouches? i got pouches. they are camo but if you want some come get em.

 

To do list:
UCA’s
Cab rack
Put liner into cap.

@loosnut ummm I’m gonna skip the camo, not entirely sure what types I need / want just yet.

 

We never really talked bumper on Saturday... I’m headed to BPF in NJ on Sat if you wanna join me.

 

Depends what time... I wanna take a look and see how extensive the roof rack install is gonna be. I may try to tackle that at some point this week

 

All your truck needs now is a red cross on the side because it is effectively a trail ambulance.
