Otis24's Otisbound Outdoors Bodonkadonk Supercharged Twin Locked Micro Camper Build (OOBSTLMC)

You could always get a smaller electric ratched or impact driver for a lot less. You’ll still need to use the breaker bar but after that you can zip them off fast. For putting thing back on hand thread a bit and zip them all the way in and finish with a torque wrench.

 

Tundra Brakes! No cutting or trimming needed. Just did a little bending.

Also, did Wheeler’s steel braided brake lines.

 

How the tundra’s feel so far?

 

So far so good. I don’t need to stand on the pedal to stop fast. They’re not bedded in yet so I suppose they’ll start better.

Install was a breeze. We got slowed down because We put longer wheel studs in. The dorman studs are like .3mm fatter

 

Winch!

 

You relocating the solenoid? I'm in the middle of installing what looks like the same winch lol

 

I 3M industrial Velcro-ed it to the inside of the bumper next to the winch. I might change it to the engine bay. However, my engine bay is super crowded-dual battery system, fuse block etc.

 

Ah nice! Yeah I am essentially mounting mine onto my battery in the bay so it's taking me longer fabbing a mount and extending the wires. Sadly a tube bumper is very bad at hiding things lol

 

Lol..yeah the ARB has lots of hiding spaces. The control box sits in a kind of vulnerable position. I might have to makes some kind of cover for it.
I'll take some pictures of it when I get home after work today.

Edit: The battery area would be a good spot. I have 2 batteries so almost butts up against the fan shround. There's very little space between the battery tray and fan and belts.

 

I almost forgot about this. I've got about 30,000 miles on these shocks including 2 Baja trips. I've beaten the piss out of them so I'm okay with this. I'm just glad I found it.

I emailed ARB. They’re sending me new bushings for the shocks.

Also wired up the winch. I cut the winch cable and added Anderson connectors. And stuck it in loop with a shit load of shrink wrap. I'm going to add an anderson connector to my jumper cables and my compressor. I don't really use my compressor anymore since I got a CO2 system but it'll be nice for when I need it as back up.

I got this idea from @EDDO. How do you keep them clean? I'm thinking a small draw string bag for each plug.
Just found these - https://powerwerx.com/anderson-134g4-sb120-dust-cover

I finally got to use my hydraulic crimper I bought about 2 years ago. If anyone wants to borrow just let me know. It makes crimping these lugs super easy and clean.


This connects to the battery.


I might find a better place to run these wires but this seems to work for now. Also need to find a way to protect the plugs. Maybe a small draw string bag to fit over them.

I did trim that purple zip tie. I highly reccommend these pliers for cutting zip ties. They cut is flush so it's not sharp. https://www.frys.com/product/293856...3ZNunfHtmi-Gc2IAzfSeTDHk6U0UyVD0aAgmfEALw_wcB

I also need to put the rest of that yellow wire (goes to HID's) into a a loom.

 

I bought these a little after this post. I finally got around to installing them. Two years isn't bad!

 

i need to do this as well, Ive had the connectors in my garage now for a few months.

 

Haven't done anything with them. The one just rides around under the hood naked and afraid. Sometimes making the connection sounds a little crunchy, though.

 

Dude that's the same crimper I have and it's simply one of my favorite tools at this point. Between running lines for an aux panel, doing the big three upgrade and installing the winch it's been so insanely useful. Hard part is figuring out the best way to use it without 3 hands.

 

No kidding about the three hands!

I've always wanted a 3 foot long tail with a hand on the end. I could be so much more productive.

 

How do you like your Cooper ST Maxx? I'm going to Utah at the end May and think I might upgrade from what I have. I had mud terrains before...loads of offroad traction but garbage on the highway.

 

Dude I love my Maxx's. Quiet on road (relatively, getting slightly louder with age but nothing like an MT), durable as fuck, and super super grippy. @Reh5108 @jubei @Tacofire98 all ran them on the Kokopelli as well, and I did a ton of big trails in Moab with no issue. They hooked up fucking great. And unlike the Moab rock, we have very very jagged shale/granite on the east coast and they have been holding up awesome sidewall wise. Their really only downside is their weight, at 70lbs or so a tire.

Their sidewalls are stiff, so they take a bit to break in. But once they do, they are great.

Here's an example of them aired down at 10psi:

You can see how nicely they conform around the rocks.

And here is them on some slick rock:

Nice!

Everyone who's had them seems to really like them.

Jersey, eh? I was born in North Plainfield but grew up about an hour north of Philly on the other side of the river. I haven't been back there since the 90's though.

 

Ha yeah, and I likely know where you grew up at if I am understanding around where you mean. What town did you grow up in? I also know North Jersey pretty well too, grew up there actually. I used to go to a gym everyday on 22 in North Plainfield when I used to work in Montclair. Kinda jealous you got out, I can't stand the East Coast after my trips out West.
