ponethousand's build

I know this question is not for me but, hey, I'm nosy. I just happened to be working on my windshield washer res clearance today and realized that 99% of my issue was just the pump and corner of the shield. So, I relocated the pump up into my quarter panel and my issue is basically gone.



If that doesn't work for you, there's always the pvc res solution. I know a couple of guys that are running it and love it.

Thanks for chiming in! I've seen the expedition portal link. I might do that depending how bad I rub. I've taken out the shield and the bottle is just exposed. Where the pump is located looks like it's going to be a problem.

Do you have a picture of the pump location?

 

no, but its generally loud being gear on gear. also, how much fluid did u put in? if u just filled it up the first time till it came out the fill hole, u need to put more in. the void between the crawler and tcase takes a good bit too and it will kinda stay in there. so basically u need to fill it, drive it a little bit, then top off the fluid

 

Thanks. I have to call Tyler and ask him about the breaking in period. He did mention it but I forgot

 

Ha! Sounds great Paul! I'll send a case of beer back your way

I don't really notice the washer bottle to be honest. The only time I do is turning left and stuffing the wheel. It'll rub a bit on the outer edge, but ever since I've done the washer bottle guard, it hasn't been to bad

 

*Excuse the bad pics*

Basically, I just moved it up into the quarter panel almost directly above where it was before. There were two holes that were in the engine compartment that I used to zip tie it into place.

Here's a view from the side. (before I finished trimming)


This one looks up at the pump inside of that compartment


Sorry. I know the pics don't show it too well, but, hopefully, you get the idea.

 

Thanks

Lump. Thanks for the pictures. I have to do something before the next wheeling trip

 

Also ordered some things from tepui tents. Annex for my roof top tent. Ordered a tepui awning for the rear of the truck. This will cover the arb fridge and any cooking that i do at the bed of the truck. Going to hang right off the rtt. I will have to modify the bracket so it sits a little higher.

Should be a pretty sweet setup.

Did you ever check out superbrightleds.com. I got that 24" bar for $149.

 

I did. I decided to go with a led bar from ebay. I have it in my garage I'll take pictures of it when I install it next week

 

cool man. Cant see how ppl pay the rigid price

 

I know right. The money could go to other mods like kick out sliders!

 

Moar brighter

Lookin good Paul!!!

 

Side by side couldn't see a difference. Just because it says more lumes doesn't mean it's true. The ppl of this forum seem to be fanboys and sworm to the highest price. And I'm about done with building Paul lol

 

Big benefit/difference with rigids is their specialty reflectors/projectors like the hyperspots. I'll agree they are expensive...

Lumens aren't important. Its lux at distance and beam pattern. Also warranty is nice to have.

 

Don't get me wrong rigids are the shit.. Remember I've seen your sun setup! I just don't wheel enough at night to justify the cost. Plus my mod money goes else where .. ie crawl box

 

its about 1000x brighter now. I hear you on the night wheeling though.

Yep, I'm debating on wtf to do. Want to ditch the DB lift but that's gonna be costly.

Did you epoxy your magnets on the plate ? Mine are gorilla taped haha

 

I used what I had in my garage. . Gorilla glue. Works great used 6 magnets

 

Going to put this in next week

 

Night wheeling in a few weeks?
