Manfred's #thicc boi aka 'White Rhino'

Today on, where the fuck is that whine coming through. Swapped out the remainder of the bearings for new ones, and as well the serpentine belt. A lot quieter under the hood, but still has a higher pitched whine. Leaning towards alternator pulley, so next step is to swap out the generator.

 

I duno how I was so late to sub to this party.

That rear suspension was such an upgrade, looks great.

Having a hard time waiting for my ARB bumper, I thought I could with no problem. Now I am chomping at the bit to have it in my hands

*edit*
I made it all the way thought with liking all the things

I am sure your notifications loved that

 

I opened up TW on my phone and was like sweet Jesus 18 notifications? A new record lol.

Also i was helping peter off load your ARB! you and @Joe23 have finally seen the light

 

I travel so many fire and logging roads for funnzies, I need that deer armor.

It is the bumper I have wanted since day 1, just never thought id be able to afford it

TW helps me spend less on more things, such a wonderful bitch.

 

yup. my reasoning was protecting my investment aka the white rhino lol. You got a wonderful deal on it from what i hear lol.

But in the same brush stroke, TW also gives you ideas to spend your money on. Compressors, dual batteries, RTTs etc etc lol.

 

You got that right, all the idea's

@Therby found that kijiji deal and I had to have it once I was told it would fit my rig.

I am going to delay the dual battery for a bit, get an SPOD setup with the blue sea fuse block I got from Eugene. Then figure out if I need to add a 2nd battery once I have the setup in place.

 

know what switches youre going to use and where youre going to put them?

 

I dont use the sunglass's holders so I like the idea of what Tacomahalic did. Put the switch bank up there.

No idea on that part yet.

 

Old vs New.

New tensioner bearing being dropped I'm today

 

Max expo points. Ran into a bit of trouble plumbing it so its 99% complete





Also lobbed off the ladder rack top points so I would stop smacking into parking garages...

Sweet baby G

 

My template would not have helped much I dont think

Welcome to team snorkel

 

So what in the sweet jesus did you do the elbow into the engine bay. Mine was going to be a great set up but ran into a hiccup where the tube was super twisted and too high inside of where the intake sits.

So right now it's not plumbed up.

 

@Zulupapa the snorkel in question I was talking to you about on insta

The dobinsons snorkel is different. The inside rubber connector piece is much different. Everything 'just' lined up. That was the hardest part of the install tbh, getting it connected on both ends and hose clamped. We had to use some soap like tacomaholic said to help them seat correctly.

 

Ya I'll have to plumb the rest today. Bit of a pain tbh

 

Plumbed. Now just some RTV Black and this bitch will be good to go

 

Looks good man!

Nice fix

*cough*
You could have cleaned under the air intake, it was out an all.

 

So I do have some engine degreaser I could clean it up BUT then my undercoating would be washed away exposing it to the elements.

I want a clean engine bay but I want it protected more. What would you do ?

 

clean it and re-apply fluid film?
