Calamity Ganon build thread, sorta bs thread? with a sprinkling of Sumi the HX

went out to moore expo over the weekend with my dad and then decided to go out to smorr (southern missouri offroad ranch)
had a great time at the expo and wheeling it was cool to have my dad come with me for once!

i did break one thing off the truck and that was my rci control arm skid i snapped it right at the weld!


if you want to see the video of me breaking this go check out my instagram @fakepro_2013 you can hear when it falls off the truck lmao




i do have a few pictures from when i was out at smorr but im still editing them i.... so give me some time

i went out and took pics of friends cars on sunday. so thats why i havent been able to mess with any of my pics besides one!
i have like 8 more photos for my friends to alter then ill get to work on mine and post them when they are done!

 

few pics from when i went out to smorr a few weeks back

 

How much light washes onto the hood when you have your light bar turned on? I'm trying to get some input before I pull the trigger on one.

 

a decent amount tbh but if you get a matte black vinyl bit or paint it like @Casper66 did on the hood it wont reflect to much

the light bar isnt great for long distance but its god for lighting up a area i would like to get a different one that is more spot over flood

 

I blacked out the whole center section of the hood. It is just plastidip for now to see if I like it but tBH I kinda like the dip. It gives you a nice matt nonreflective surface that reduced or eliminated glare from the ditch lights and the sun.



Jacob I never posted where you sw the lighting project I finished last weekend. I did lights on the roof rack.


I had to find a place to mount the switches and this worked ut well clean and simple


This is only off road lights

 

nope i havent seen that it looks great man!! also what is that cupholder mine isnt like that......

and how hard was it to paint the hood ive been wanting to do that

 

The cupholder is just my center console M/T is a little different than an AT. Plasti dipping the hood is easy. I just taped off where i didnt want it painted, cleaned where i was painting with a mild paint reducer, and sprayed it with about 6 light coats of black plasti dip.

 

ah i didnt know you had the MT and nice ill have to do that one of these days when its nice out

 

It's cheap and easy. If you don't like it just peel it off. The dip doesn't leave crisp clean edges like paint does but it's ok

 

ya looks good to me tbh i do wish i had a hood scoop thou i like the look

 

Yep it's only function is making me smile

 

yup ive always been looking for a totaled truck where i could take the hood but no luck

 

I wonder if they can be ordered from the dealer prepainted like the grill surrounds? Might be worth looking into if you want one but I'd invest the money in the trailer first

 

ive looked into it in the past and they wanted like 1200 for it so i decided against it

 

Yeah I wouldn't do it either for that price. I wasn't looking for a sport when i bought this it just kinda happenned

 

ya i like the scoop on the sport but wasnt worth it to me over the offroad model

 

Painted...

 

that looks just black and ive looked at those but then you have to get the plastic scoop part and all the seals and thats another like 200 from what ive seen....

one day i will do it but not right now lol i want the trailer going and better shocks lol

 

Just realized your name isn’t “chlamydia_taco”
Always thought that was kinda weird and gross

 

jake you are mental
