TWheat40's Build and Adventure Thread

I like the proline, but I'm leaning towards something with 3 hoop protection. Right now I'm debating between these two.





And sso just released new high clearance side addons for their slimline, so it's also still in the running due to the weight and cost. Final cost for the slimline with the sides is only like 950 whereas the full bumpers are upwards around 1700-1900

 

I think the bumper is one solid piece. Then there are 3 panels that attach to it, but not sure. I think it just has too much going on for me.

 

I was just going to say something like this. It also looks like those front panels can unbolt to add a different piece.

My 2nd search was for Relentless. Hes on here too, and might have a discount code. I am not sure. I would get one that continues the gills. I really like those on your stock bumper

 

Yeah I like relentless, but it's the expensive one. The cbi one (white one I posted) is a few hundred cheaper, and keeps the look of the gills.

 

usually CBI is more expensive

 

Yeah I said the same thing. But cbi is 1499 before any taxes or shipping or discount. Relentless is 1699 before, and is a higher shipping cost

 

does Bruteforcefab have anything? I just suggest him because you can do 1/2 down, and 1/2 + shipping when its done. Gives you some time to save back some more $$

 

No they don't as far as I know. And that's not the problem. It's just that we want to keep it under a certain amount so we can do some other stuff too.

 

Are you in MD or VA?

 

MD. But I'm only about 30 minutes from the VA border.

 

Ok not bad, are you going to flagpole this weekend?

 

I wish. I was gonna try and go, but we have to go look at a wedding venue on Sunday, so it would've only been a day trip to FPK, and thats a little far for a day trip for me.

 

Just placed my order for my cbi front bumper with full hoops. Also ordered my smittybilt winch yesterday with the ebay sale. Winch will be here Monday, and the bumper is ~8 weeks lead times. Woohoo!

 

Got my dometic cfx-40w in through the group buy. Had to remove part of my drawer and turn it into a platform to mount the fridge on. Still need to fix my drawer so it stays shut so I can remove the red strap. And still need to paint the drawer.






Still need to rewire my outlet to make it always on as well as wire my solar setup.

 

Nice, wish we had a little more time to check out rigs last night.
Really looking at a slide out for the 4r now.

 

Yeah I know. I wish it would've stopped raining.

I love my drawer, and I liked having the cabinet on the right side to put stuff in, like my camping stove, but I needed that space for the fridge. The whole setup takes away from the overall cargo space, but it gives some storage and organization for tools so they don't roll around in the back.

We will definitely have to do another meet up soon or a wheeling trip or something.

 

Installed my solar panel. Ran the wiring from the solar panel to the interior. Still need to wire up the charge controller, but did a mock wiring to make sure everything works.




And we have power! Not much, but it is completely overcast.

 

Do you have a second battery that it is charging?

 

Unfortunately not yet. This is gonna run to the stock battery until I can afford to upgrade. It's bad for the battery, but I only need it to work for a little bit until I can upgrade or install a second battery

 

@twheat40 i just thought of something to fill that final spot on your roof rack. Mother. Ducking. Rotopax.
