The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

I was thinking if saying the same thing.

 

God man, truly incredible. Even now, it still amazes me to see just what this truck has been through, from stock form, to now and how far it's come. Some truly impressive work monte!

Next year, when they do the member's choice poll thing...i want you to beat box rocket, seeing how much everyone here loves overland built rigs.



also get dem lights working, i wanna see dat shit!

also a note on the lights, i think you should retro fit your head lights, or get some clean/clear/nice looking after market ones. They are the only lights on that truck that look like crap, and are probably the least bright out of every other light your have (if i remember right). Just dont match the rest of your mobile sun haha.

that picture is awesome!

 

Heck ya!! We shall see where I go this Xmas break.

Yea they are dorks. They carry them around all the time haha

Thanks mark! Hard to believe it was stock about 14-15 months ago! has been quite the long road..but a good one

Yea I really want so,e round eyes. Shoulda put those on my Xmas list haha cause yes..head lights are terrible..but y fogs make up for it haha

And as for members choice. It's members choice so who knows what'll happen.

 

im pretty sure your side mirror lights are more useful than your head lights haha.

and dont be so humble lol, by next year your truck will no doubt have more goodies on it and honestly will probably be a more capable and better suited rig I think (except that locker, u need one). But that's just my opinion when I start comparing them.

 

Who says I haven't been doing upgrades on my own rig to keep up with all you young whippersnappers?

Lookin good Monte. Whatcha think? Maybe time for some new skidplates?

 

My rig isn't gonna be more capable till I get lockers haha and at this rate. That won't happen next year

Thanks Adam! Always appreciate your compliments


Yes!! Next big welding project is those. Hopefully over Xmas break will be doing something similar to yours and Silas's setup

Then I think winch. What brand are you running??

 

Every day is an adventure in the middle of no where when you live in Powell.

 

This guy knows what's up..haha

I see what you did there..

 

we wanna see em! Where do you think everyone else gets their inspiration from! Ill say its impressive how clean and nice your truck is, compared to say frankenstein truck. Now you are moving into fabbing racks for people too. Very nice, extra money to put back into wheeling funds or doing responsible things like paying bills with it?

monte, i bet you still have the "random-pile-of-filth-in-the-shifter-boot mod" don't you?

You need lockers son! We dont want you slipping off the cliff at morrison! (not to say I wont slide myself off)

is you frame plate the next big project?

 

Random pile of shifting the shifter mod has expanded to many places hahaha my truck is far from clean. Yet still nice in its own Frankenstieny way

I do need lockers..don't have anywhere near the funds for that

Next project really is fix rear bumper. Front skids the I think the frame plates.

 

Stop spending money on lights!

 

Lol I have no more lights to get

Because it not only holds it in place it holds it down.

But they are lot of ways to do it

But I need a new u bolt and then relocate the hooks. Then finish my Jerry can holder.

 

Still no winch for me. Was going to get one for Christmas, but I think I might be getting a new set of tires so the winch is on hold again. However, I will either run a XRC8 comp, or a Warn VR 8000 with synthetic line.

 

Yea my dad and I have been eyeing the vr8000. Seems like a good deal. Synth line all the way for sure.

You do if your me and wheel alone sometimes..

 

Little of both. Rack money has been funding some small projects on the truck. But definitely helping with bills too. You young guys don't quite get what it's like with a wife and 4 kids. Awesome, but expensive.

Are you kidding me? Frame plates should be top of your list with all that bed/rear bumper weight you're carrying. Frame plates are cheap and easy. Get on that.

 

Yea I know man. They are up there. Just have all the stuff already for the rear bumper. After my paycheck a come in then ill do the skids and frame at the same time.

Cause skids will be pretty cheap for me too.

 

SO MANY PAGES OF EPIC!... im about to pull the trigger on some glass fenders, but im not sure if i wanna get the 4.5 or 3.5 flair, im running 285/75/16 duratracs with 3.25 BS. what do you guys think would be a good fit

 

Thanks man! There are a LOT of pages here now haha

And all depends on your future mods IMO. I'm getting LT suspension so I went with 4.5" to help give more coverage but I didn't want 6" ones. 3.5"s looks good wth like a setup you have currently. I have 2.5" BS so I'm pretty close to how my front will look width wise with the LT as ill get different rims to not push the wheels out as far.

 

x2!

Looks good bud! Who needs Christmas lights when you have LED bars and Hellas?


















BTW, feed the poor dog.

 

Gotta admit, that bed rack looks a lot better then I thought it would!
