Stormbreaker: 2019 Cement TRD Off Road

Martin Offroad Rack Installed

 

Honestly, I was just playing around on the mounds of snow, and decided to get out.

I’m glad I did! I’m surprised with the level of articulation, and this is prior to @ARCHIVE Hammer Hangers (which I got a notification that they were on the way!)

 

Bed Bars from All-pro Offroad should arrive today. I can get the tent mounted up and dialed in.

Then I'll do some trimming up front to ensure that I won't rub off road. I am fine on the street how it's set now, but I know that once I am on the fun stuff I'll rub a bit.

 

Did you use 1.25 spacers? For the wheels?

 

I had some custom made 1.5 spacers made. 1.25 just wasn't quite enough for what I wanted.

 

Tent on and opened.

 

Tent looks sweet and quick set up. With spacer you have for your tires do you think if your tires were .26 inches wider, they would rub? Thanks for all the info!

 

Yeah with my current spacers, if my tires were an additional .26 wider I think they would rub. I had minimal rubbing already with my set up now, so I would imagine that any increase would cause more rubbing.

 

The time is here! I’ll be out in Colorado for about a week.

 

Got home from my trip with a gift from @ARCHIVE waiting for me.

 

How did everything work out on your trip?

 

Everything worked really well, thanks for asking! I'll get around to posting pictures here this week. My last semester of classes started so I've been kinda busy trying to make sure I have everything in order.

 

Been thinking a lot about the truck, cause ya know, #YotaLife.

I should've gone with an aluminum @CBI Offroad Fab bumper up front. Ol girls' gettin heavy already and she doesn't even have skids/sliders/bumpers/winch on yet, plus I already want to go to 35's. I want to stay steel in the back just due to weight and because of the location I know it'll take a few good beatings back there. I'll buy some synthetic winch line for the winch before install.

Been thinking about different rear end set-ups as well. That won't come for a while though. I want to wheel it once I get everything on and see how it does. I know the rear will be a ton of money though, depending on what I plan on doing.
- Gears front and rear at that point. (obviously)
- Axle
- Different Locker(?) plus if doing gears might as well do a front locker at the same time if I go that route. Probably go air. I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
- Shafts
- 4 Link?

Like I said, all this is just depending though. I want to wheel it and see what things I even want to change.

 

Also, ghetto rigged this together. Not sure if I’m a fan yet. But it keeps it off the ground and will be easier to mount/take off (not that it was too hard in the first place).

Honestly not even sure if I’m going to be keeping the tent.

 

Not too much going on lately. Have an off-road trip planned March 18-21. Was hoping to have my @CBI Offroad Fab skids, bumpers, and ARB mount here in time for it, invoice initially said ship Feb 22nd, but I'm still waiting. I did wire the ARB compressor up, so hopefully once the mount gets here, it can be a quick install.

Also waiting on my @Mobtown Offroad sliders to ship, no clue where they are at in the process, but know they are way behind.

I realized I never uploaded the pictures from the Colorado trip. So I will try to do that in the meantime.

 

Nice build!

 

Thank you! I appreciate that!

 

Got some things done in my truck in preparation for my trip this weekend.

- Had the fuel pump recall done Tuesday.

- Installed my All-Pro gas skid.



- Also mounted up my ARB. Had to get fancy since my mount from @CBI Offroad Fab isn’t here still. I'm still not done wiring it up, might have to finish it once I'm down there.


- Also, after some messages, FINALLY got some info on my bumpers/skids. They should be here Monday. AFTER my trip. Lol

 

As usual I suck at keeping build threads updated. I’ll try to back track later. But as of now this is how the truck sits.

I’m currently on a road trip through Southern Utah, Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
