Cavalry Blue Turd-Pro

mine are BD Squadron Pro’s. You have to have an adapter from ATH to run them.

 

Ran into some issues so I have been patiently waiting with my truck apart…

First off, my drivers side RCV got nicked during install so it’s waiting on a new boot… Also did finally get the longer hoses for my rear shocks and they look sick…

Main huge issue now is the RCVs are super beefy. Team that with the alignment being pushed all the way forward to clear my 35’s,and my RCV boots make contact with my shocks. I’m currently waiting on some offset uniball spacers from Fox, as King doesn’t make them. If that doesn’t solve the problem, a local race shop is going to custom mill me some.

Here are some pics for now. I’ll post an update when the shocks are figured out. I also still rub my front resi’s. That’s with spidertrax and -12 wheels. Guess I’ll be pushing even further out. -44 is the highest offset I can find, and by my math, I’m already at -43, so I guess the spacers are here to stay.

 

I need to make a table for mine

 

Been dark for a MINUTE! have had a host of things to address... Front shock was actually hitting on my RCVs, ended up getting some misalignment spacers to push her forward out of the way... Had to switch to SPC UCA's so that I could push the tire forward all the way and be able to correct alignment still. Swapped to eibach 700's. Ended up getting some eccentric cam deletes as well, hoping to install them over the course of this week and weekend. Even finally threw the 270 amp in...

 

Going to be throwing in a modified tundra rack next, with chromoly shafts. BUT NOW ALL THAT BULLSHIT ASIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She finally got the shakedown she deserves. Slick Rock Road, Stanislaus NF. What a blast, and all the aftermarket parts held up "rock solid."

Now the next posts.... Well those will be about some lessons learned.... ...and some hidden issues discovered...

 

Next hurdle. My grenaded rear drums... Not sure wtf happened, either the e brake line got stretched or some random act of satan, but I love both drums on the trail and had to clamp the system off with vice grips. Lost all fluid from the rear in a matter of minutes. I did not have an extra can of brake fluid, and had to sadly hike out for it....

When this happened, I was coming up a pretty mean, boulder ridden uphill climb. I immediately started to get warning lights on the dash, and the pedal started to go to the floor. So the only option was give her the fuckin beans. Well I gave her the beans and drug my driveline right over some boulders. Got the truck flat, found a cool camp spot oh well. Came home and had a new shaft welded in so thats all good as well.

Well out with the old... in with the new I suppose..

 

But, in with the new I suppose... I never wanna worry about that BS happening again. SOS Performance full rear disk conversion.

 

I did a thing...

Soon enough this will be getting some mods shotgunned at it.

 

Some new pics

What soft shell CVT RTT were you using previously? Does the hardshell you bought fit your family of 4? Did the softshell have more room? Love your build. Great work.

 

Man I haven't posted in Eons! Finally got the truck out to the Rubicon and it identified 2 major issues. I KO'd my steering rack and the SPC UCA design is not great for real rock crawling, the top adjustment nut ended up breaking loose on both sides. Will be looking into a different UCA for sure, and waiting on 74 Weld to release their billet steering rack. Not a bunch of pictures as I had no passenger and was working triple duty keeping up with some Jeep buddies, great time though.

 

Also, have had this thing for a while but never really uploaded, intoXventures Diesel heater. Thing has been working great still, use it to split between the RTT and the kids ground tent. Could build your own for probably a lot less, but it's still a great unit for off the shelf, RotoPax is custom though. I'll take a picture of it installed if anyone wants any more detail, I'll be camping for the next week so i'll be using it up in the mountains. it's mounted to the Victory Molle bed panel, exhaust goes out the side and down to the ground.

 

This is an absolutely sick build. Questions about the ARB compressor since I also do quite a bit of paddleboarding:
1) How's it working out for inflating the boards? Is the speed comparable to electric pumps designed for this purpose? (someone in another thread was telling me that having a single compressor for airing up tires and inflating a paddleboard would not work well since one is high pressure and the other is high volume...
2) How difficult was the install? Any chance you have a video or one you referenced when you did this?

I was considering installing the compressor in the bed but this looks like it might be a better option.

 

Compressor instal was pretty straight forward but doing the OEM style switch that works with the same interior dimmer is whole other ordeal. I would have to dig to figure out how I did that at this point. The bracket for the compressor was from SLEE (https://sleeoffroad.com/products/sok0038/), and I would not do a single for paddle boards. I'll time filling my boards this week when I go camping, but it's pretty slow, we have 3 of them that we fill. 13', 11', and 8'

 

8’ - 15 PSI (5:45)

Campin!
