XPOTRPR build & BS

Onx6 is on its way back as a Onx6+...

 

Now we can just sit back and look at it!! Needs some rifles and pistols sprinkled about to really make it pop!

 

Hahaha. Yes! Definitely a hangout spot now. All the projects!

 

This All Pro Molle panel is pretty slick. Mounts nice and solid. Going to work perfectly for my water setup. Paired with the Ironman 4x4 13 gallon flat tank and 3gpm 12v water pump.. I'm really liking how this is coming together and I think it's going to work great. Water tank will be secured with at least 2 straps Running over/around the tank with it's start slots and through the Molle panel. The 12v pump will bolt up to the Molle panel as well. Running wires and water lines is going to be super simple and clean with the Super Pacific fuselage/channels. Excited for it to come together. Have some more nifty ideas coming as well..





Sure am loving this new backyard setup too. So nice to be able to work on the truck on the cooler/more private side of the house. Sun's behind me. Got music on the outdoor tv. Cold beers. Lighting. I could sit out here and tinker all night. Lol

 

It's the little things.

 

100%

 

extremely random but are those vans pretty comfy?

 

They are!! lol I just picked them up a couple weeks ago. I wear them at work standing and walking around all day.. needed something comfortable and that would last. The coolant here in the shop eats through shoes pretty quickly and these are holding up pretty well so far. The lightweight foams are awesome.. been out hiking with them as well.

 

Pulled the bedrails and sealed them up as well as the front and rear corners of the bed. Need to finish a couple other areas but I think we'll just roll with that and go from there as far as dust/water sealing.

New work set-up


Got the spare mounted. Matching 5th minus the wheel color.


Got the 11g water tank secured to the All Pro Molle panel with 2 straps rated at 500lbs each.


From the weekend with family and shenanigans



Quick temporary setup until the rear bumper shows up (hopefully within the next few weeks) Worked out great actually. Used my old bed divider for support between spare/air tank and water tank.. and strapped the shit out of everything. Lol

 

Planning on swapping out the PS pump and doing Plugs this weekend. Couple more little TLC items in preparation for the X1, as its finished! Got the email end of last week. waiting for the bumper to get that all finished up then head to Portland!

 

Bring guns to protect yourself!

 

Machinist?

 

what gave it away.. lol

yeah. Programmer and Machinist.

 

Thinking out loud here..

I'm going to need a temporary air setup until I can finish my dual battery and power to run a dual air compressor. I have my 20lb tank but it wont work with the new camper setup. I think I'm going to get another 10lb tank to replace my 20lb and mount it horizontally next to the fridge above the outlet in the bed. This way it utilizes that wasted little corner/side area and still allows us to bring along air. 10lbs should be enough for a few fill ups (15ish back to 35ish). I'll just have to watch it more regularly compared to my 20lb. Gonna go with a 10lb tank setup from Poly Performance.

We still have our power pack, so that should get us by in the meantime no problem until I finish the power throughout the truck. I am thinking of picking up another small jump starter, and leave it just for backup/emergencies if we ever drain the main power pack. Again, this is all temp, but the peace of mind on the power for our upcoming trip to get the camper would be nice though.

Water is good to go for now. The 11g water tank has a fitting so I'll just run some hose to the tailgate with a little valve for now. Should be plenty to gravity feed it until I can wire up the 12v water pump once the power setup is done.

Ultimately... the truck will have dual batteries and a power bank ran to the bed and camper on a master switch. This will power the fridge and 12v water pump full time and all our accessories in the camper and around camp. The ARB dual compressor will also be wired up and tucked away in the bed with a Expedition Essentials mount ready to go whenever. Once the camper and dual batteries are all set up, I'll mount and run solar panels (2 probably) to charge the batteries.

Excited to get the camper and bumper all done so I can start modding the both and adding goodies. First up will be wiring up a nice Rear View Camera mirror that displays multiple cameras. Thinking a nice 3 camera system. Face 1 front for a dash cam but dont display it (because no need really). 2nd one mounted up high on the back of the camper for a rear camera, displayed on the mirror, and the 3rd.. I'm thinking either in the back of the cab facing out the rear window into the camper, or just somewhere else.

Need to get the hood repainted and get a new grill.. unless @HomerTaco can help a brotha out and salvage my Homer grill. Its been through 2 accidents and MILES of adventures. lol couple more tlc items.. and the truck should be ready to go and better than ever!

 

If the mesh and inner surround are still solid then perhaps we can do something.

 

mesh is solid... inner.. idk. I'd be willing to ship it to ya for you to take a look tho!

 

For a jump pack. After watching Project Farm video on them. I have a Gooloo 4000. Able to tuck it in the storage under the rear seat. Pretty cheap on Amazon when I got it. Works good.

 

PM pics first. Should be able to diagnose from that.

 

Same. Though where I work now I'm more of a glorified button pusher. I don't even get to make my own programs.
