What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

About to get after it! Lots of chopping and welding double sheer uppers, body mount relocate, heavy alignment tabs, spindles, leaf hangers

 

I didn't know you could get red uca's from them. Paint or powder?

 

Lots of work ahead! Do those strut reservoirs plumb to the bottom of the shock body?

 

That's a real Schrodinger's Catalytic Converter Conundrum.

 

My Hcalory diesel heater arrived today.



This here is the plan. I will use a piece of black corrugated plastic or abs and put a 3" boat hatch port in it and slide the window open and insert the plastic piece for the heater hose to pipe warm air into the shell. Keeps me nice and warm in fall and winter time when camping.


I plan to get a wheel mount for the heater like in this pic. (I don't want to drill into my topper shell though).



Next up is to make a removable platform for a full or twin size mattress.

 

Added morimoto 4 banger hxbs to the SR!

 

That’s going to be tight in a short bed, unless you’re really short or plan on sleeping diagonally.

 

I actually picked those up used. did a rebuild on them and a powder refresh in red. Just wanted to switch it up a little.

 

Definitely a lot of work.. I've been planning this one for a while. Should be fun! Yes, the struts plumb from the bottom and the shocks from the top.

 

Ss3 Pros installed, super bright!

 

As far as badging, I had a 67 VW beetle and I put a Cadillac emblem on it. It looked really cool. I think it rode better after I did that.

 

I love the SS3s, I have them as Ditch right now. I'm debating going SS5 for the front bumper link or the baja designs 5 pod.

 

Got some KO3s I need to install! Then time to break them in this weekend.

 

I have a set, too. Going to swap out my CaliRaised ditch lights for them.

 

what, no raptor lights?

 

when I was in high school I put put a Mac bulldog on the hood of my 55 Chevy. I don’t think anyone even noticed. But it was cool.

 

They’re worth it! Got rid of my janky yellow Amazon LEDs, never looking back

 

I’d suggest a bambeds design, easily stowed and removable! Sleeping diagonal above the wheels is doable for a single person in a 5’ shell, I used a tent extension and a 6 foot platform for a full size purple mattress and it worked great, not a ton of head room. I’m still looking for a steal on a taller shell. This one was $250!

 

Got me an 8 Gang AuxBeam. Hopefully it's not hard to wire nicely

 

I put mine on the drivers side. Got real tight real quick lol
