ATO Expedition 1

I too am very interested in the dual batteries...

 

Heck, I hope he can offer it for 4Runners so I can get one!

 

Kevin, we'll be talking soon about that rear bumper...

 

Thanks guys!! The dual battery setup will be out in the next few weeks for sure. It worked out really well. It's pretty tight in there but I managed to fit 2 group 34 yellow top Optimas in there with very very little modification. It should be something just about anyone can drop in place. I'm looking at possibly also offering up the AUX fuse block setup we did on this build as well but not totally decided on that part just yet.

I'll have lots more pics to put up over the next few days, I had planned on taking them all today but turned out to be crappy weather so I couldn't. It was a very extensive build that took place over 3 weeks. Dave was instrumental and there's no way it would have come together like it did without his help. The electical system we installed was probably one of the largest projects and I can say it's one of the nicest and cleanest setups I've ever seen done up.

 

Some interior pics:

 

And some exterior:

A few of the air compressor mount... This one was tricky. Didn't want to fit at all.

 

Holy hell that thing looks sooooo nice!

 

What's on the front bumper between the lights? Some sort of kill switch?

 

It's the plug in for the hand held winch controller that comes with them. Just makes it easy to get to since the solenoids are tucked away.

 

Are those painted toe nails?

Are the u bolts different colors or is it just the lighting? One looks gold and the other looks silver. Also, are those stock UCAs?
Thats a nice lookin rig.

 

Painted toe nails??? Edit.... I see it now, yes they probably are because those pics were taken by the owner's wife.

Yes the u-bolts are different colors, they are the same brand, same size, same packaging but for some reason one set was zinc coated silver and the other zinc coated that yellowish gold color. I have no idea why but with the time crunch I just had to run with it. And yes they are stock UCA's as well and I'll note that my local guy had no trouble getting the alignment right on with it either.

 

The reflection in the light cover looks like red toe nails lol.

 

Are those the AP expedition leafs or the dakars?

 

Gotcha. On my mobile looked like a kill switch thing I seen before was wondering y it would be outside...

 

Dam looks sweeeeet I like the cb antennas fold down

 

^^

 

lol my bad. I completely missed that post
