Zach's 2013 DCSB Build

Stopped to take a photo or two while I was out and about this morning with some of the new upgrades. I am hoping to weld on some headlight hoops to my CBI Moab 2.0 today.

 

Looking good man!

 

Gonna look good! With full hoops you can run brush cables from hoops to rack Can't wait for front bumper next year.

Any reason you put the Peli box in the center? I put mine on driver side as used the most for quick easy access to tools, shackles, and straps. And fuel in the center as I will access it the least. And Treds passenger side as I expect to use more than extra fuel but not as much as the Peli storage box.

 

No particular reason. It makes a little more sense the way you have it but I also have storage/first aid rotopax so that one will need to be close to access as well if I have it on.

 

How do yall keep the stuff on the rack from being stolen?

 

My pelican case is bolted to the rack from the inside into the TSLOTS on the crossbars. Impossible to access unless the case is open. I have small padlocks I put on the case when I am concerned about it.

The traction ramps are in a lockable bracket I made for the racks. Same type of deal. You can only un bolt the bracket if the ramps are out and when they are in there is a small padlock. The rotopax have locking handles you can purchase. All that being said, I haven't really had to worry about it much.

My truck is usually in one of three places, sitting at home, sitting at my work where I can see it out the window and the office is in a pretty secluded spot so we don't get many on lookers. Or it is in the mountains and I am with it.

 

Good deal. As soon as I can afford it I'm getting one of your racks with a pelican case for my tools. I have them in my bed now under my tonneau cover and it's pretty easy for someone to open the tailgate and steal them.

 

Yeah, thats the other thing is climbing up on the roof to break in is a little bit more noticable especially without sliders like me.

 

Haha yeah I love in some apartments so I'm always worried about them stealing my tools.

 

Sliderz were the best for install. And they make a great platform accessing the top accessories. As for theft just gotta put locks on everything. But realize if someone wants what you got they'll take it no matter how, just hope they're not that determined.

 

Those new lights look killer man.

 

Thanks, the front setup is near perfect for what I use it for. The 20" gets distance out in front and the 30" amber on top floods everywhere and diffuses the light making it perfect for dusty roads or snow/fog. The rear lights I added for reverse are much brighter than I expected but I need to angle them down still to work right.

 

Love the build man and for future rack

 

Thanks, it is coming along. Excited to get you set up when the time comes.

 

Got the headlight hoops welded onto the CBI Moab 2.0. Love the look compared to the single hoop. Still need to clean up the welds and sand down so paint mess-ups but for now it will be good. I am planning to get the bumper powder coated later this year. Here are some photos.

Also got my 4' firestick mounted in a test location. I am still debating the final spot for it but so far this location or back on the tailgate mount are the top choices. There is a photo of a skid plate I welded up too. This one is a prototype for a light duty aluminum skid plate that Prinsu will likely be offering. I should have the final model some time this week.

 

Looks awesome man. The 3 hoop looks way better.

 

I already contacted billy at brute force to send me some headlight loops because this looks so sick. Damn you!!

 

It does improve the look quite a bit. I really like it. Should help protect things a bit more as well.

 

PrInSu Design Studio Prototype IFS Skid is installed and being tested, this weekend it saw some good miles out in Utah's west desert in a few areas. No major hits yet but it sure does feel good having that protection under there. I have the other skids to complete the set in the works.
