One of the only pics I have of her when she was a pup, my buddy(pictured) and I headed out to play paintball with a couple co workers.



Interior shot, just the center console for now..



My rear flush mount pods were aimed too far down so I modified the rear bumper to lift them up a bit.


Maxtrax!!!


Pismo trip


OBA


Winch/bumper install


TC spindle and cam tab gussets


BAMF sliders, weld-on



That's all for now, I'll update soon, I wish I had a computer, it sucks doing all this on my iPad

 

Awesome build so far!

 

So why did you get rid of your over head console? Good looking truck so far!

 

Thanks

I got one with a compass. It was my original one. Thanks!

 

So I added some @Pelfreybilt skids. Mid and ifs, in aluminum. Primed, coated with bedliner and top coated with satin black. Side note, they shipped fast, like Amazon fast, and great to deal with.


I had about a foot long strip of LEDs that I mounted as hood lights. The other night after a recovery and I was trying to air up, I realized it was kinda difficult to see the battery and other engine bay areas without holding a flashlight. So I fixed that, used a hood switch. I might add more.

Aftermath pics from said recovery...

I decided to make some accessories for my hi lift jack. An off road base and a slider adapter.

And a couple weeks ago at the brute force fab meet & greet bought some winch mount reinforcment plates.

 

So, I want to add a lot more to this thread but tend to forget, so while I have it on my mind, I recently added dual odyssey batteries and the kit from OGE. I did that because we're headed to Montana in the summer, and we'll be hauling a indel fridge. So some pics...

The dual batteries installed...


And my fuse block that I got from my SS @Sje1124 only took me 6 months to mount it lol


The mounting holes for my indel fridge slide mount, just drilled holes into the bed and installed rivnuts, with some epoxy to help secure them into the fiberglass bed.

Holes in the bed mat...

And slide mounted...

And I added a 12v socket in the bed for the fridge, but realized I should of used some sort of connector. From using it for a few days, I think it will work for the road trip. Maybe later down the road I'll make a more secure type of connection.


That's all for now, just need to snap more pics of other things I've done.

 

Added a 700 watt inverter in the center console with rear facing outlets, for the kids gadgets while we're on the road...


The inverter is old, I've had it for quite a few years, hence the dust.

 

​

 

I should update this lol

 

Darn tootin!!! ​

 

​

 

Haha I totally forgot again. Here's a teaser

 

Did you make that canvas top for your bed rack??​

 

Nice Build

 

Yep!

Thanks buddy!

 

Thats bad ass!!! ​

 

So picking up where I left off a while back... I got a Bruteforce Fab rear bumper, had it for a month and I got rear ended

The bumper held up unimaginably well! One of the swingout arms was bent a little, the jerry can holder was deformed, cans dented, scratches powder coat and slightly tilted forward. Other than that, nothing major needed repairing on the bumper or truck! The truck suffered a cracked taillight and dented tailgate, checked the frame and all was well! Dealt with the responsible parties insurance and everything went surprisingly smooth.

 

So after being ecstatic that my truck wasn't gonna need any major repairs, I continued with my original plan to purchase a front bumper. So ordered that and splurged on some new wheels to eliminate the spidertrax spacers.



While I had the winch out I decided to take a peak into the solenoid box, since it wouldn't fit with the new front bumper. My fear came true, severe corrosion and water still inside, from our river exploration trips. So figured might as well clean it up and relocate it, found a spot next to the power steering reservoir.


Oh and after the accident decided to change my jerry cans up to the scepter milspec water and fuel cans. Added the spigot to the water can.



Got a snorkel from the group buy, yeah the cluster one, install was a pain in the ass! Installed before the accident, sorry my timeline is terrible.

 

Another one
