Shveet's Build Thread "Clementine"

But does it make it through the drive through or parking garage?

 

Parking Garage? Drive through? what are those?
i dont make enough money to afford that.



technically i can remove the seat post and keep it in the truck, and the handle bars i think is about a foot above the backrack. Just gotta be mindful, but wont be always with the bike uptop.

 

The time hath come!
I made a clever blog name. TuktoyakTEC

HA i's a genius....

Carbon copy/ Copy Pasta:

 

Be sure to let us know when you update it. Enjoyed the read so far.

 

I'll post something here, the Tuk thread, or the BS thread.

but i'm unfamiliar to the "blog" style of writing so i'm just assuming my sarcastic shit-post-esque style that i've used for Jason's tailgate panel.

Also figured to keep things in its own "box" so thus the separate site. Maybe i'll post a carbon copy of it here...

EDIT: Lol i can just copy+paste it to T-WORLD

 

I was just referring to you posting a link or a heads up when you updated. It was an interesting read and I wouldn’t mind staying up to date. Living through you man.

 

Its Jank as fuck.

But it works???

 

Was too Jank for me. Switched to:

Battery clamps unscrew off terminals of the cables with copper screws.. feel much better with 16ga vs 18ga to power fridge. Had to disconnect my 40" lightbar because you know. It gets so incredibly dark here in the north to be able to run this...

But whatever, it got 12v aux power to the rear of the truck!

 

Awesome. Trip part 2: electric fridgeroo

 

Germans made a set of L-tracks too

Glue down is what i was looking at



Apparently very common on the Euro trucks. about half of the custom builds i've seen have the airline track

 

12v aux power was a bloody mess, went in and did a bunch of rewiring.

Pulled out old wiring loom/ conduit that ran from aux fuse box all the way to the truck bed (contained 4 wires; 2x 8 guage, 1x 16guage and 1x14 guage)
And replaced/ added a bunch new lengths. Helped someone earlier to rewire a trailer so picked up a trailer light kit and a spool of 4x 14 guage trailer wire.Ended up using the old harness as the wire was good.
So new harness is a 4x14guage ribbon+ 2x 8 guage ( reused) and 1x 10 guage.

Tired all together, and sleeved into flexible conduit (not split loom).

Redid the mounting in the rear as i had to remove 1 too many things to actually be able to "sevice" the aux distribution panel. Now i have 7 wires running to the back; 40" lighting bar, twin pod lights, 12v socket connector for fridge, bed lighting, 2 spares for future.


Tree bit into the side of the bed and fed conduit through it and into the distribution box (ended up making a 2nd hole since the 1st was in-line with the cabin vent)
Checked the wires i had and managed to locate a random wire i didnt need that i could accidently switch to live (it was the old 30" grille lightbar harness i had forever ago) Pretty sketch as it was exposed spade connectors... but all cleaned up now!

By cleaned up. I mean that the wires are organized. I gotta sit down and redo the fuxe box and it got too dirty / dusty for my liking....

New project

 

I have re done my wiring so many times. Always got improved but I’m so done with having to do wiring lol.

 

yuuup. Best part is, i've used all but 1 fuse slot on that Blue seas aux fuse panel...

and i've been considering making a new enclosure to all of that since it's getting dusty. dirty a bit too much now....

new winch relocation Bracket:
CAD (Cardboard Aided Design)

The other CAD (Model in Fusion 360)

First print


Using a 3"x4"x5" foam block, figured out depths of between the underside of the hood and plate location.
4" i would say is max, anything beyond that will be tight asf.

V2: added in the battery cutoff and winch controller mounts

First pass fitment issues: washers in the way, Access bolts to the inside of the controller, etc.



Bolt clearance and access had to be figured out.

Testing height of Smittybuilt X20 winch controller under the hood. lots of room.

V3:

V3 checking space between intake pipe and bolt hole locations.

v4, Switched Battery cutoff unit to a new one:

$20 Akozon Battery Switch, DC 12‑48V Battery Isolator Switch Single Circuit Cut‑Off Switch 6006 M‑Series Hard‑Wearing for Marine Boat Battery Isolator

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09S6LZ5LY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details




v4 fitment

Minor clearances for intake filter latch

V1 through V5


V6 Alternate bolt positions and structural reinforcement

Cut off positioning and fitment: Little too close for that post.


V6 broken (20% infill on print, i knew the break point was here. Question was how much force until it broke)

V7: Added gussets to weak point, fitment check for cut-off post, and support leg installed.


Support leg mounts to underside of airbox mount:

Support leg bolts directly to winch controller, acting as a structural part as well.

Nother view:

Main power wiring to cut off: Cut off post had to be cut down to provide spacing to intake pipe.



New switch from princess auto. easier to find this standard size than the OG one that broke on me. Couldn't figure out the LED and why it didn't want to light, so no working LED indicator.


Hood test, lined up skewer with hood rib



4" max depth to the rib of the hood
