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

after that i i was tired of my ko2s ive had them for about a year they were to small only 265/70/17 didnt like how they did offroad so i wanted something new and also wanted 33s and wanted something aggressive


so i decided to go back to the cooper st maxx in 255/80/17 skinny 33s!and i love these tires do amazing in everything ive thrown at them!

we decided to go camping to celibate the new tires also good pic of bella and the truck

also for the brotherhood!
(fallout fan)

 

then hallowen came around and we had a massive event! Midwest krawelrs and Kansas rocks hosted creepy crawl!! had an amazing time when i get the amount of rigs that where there i will update this post cant remember how many but it was a lot and not once did the trail feel crowded or that i wasn't going anywhere!


so many people!

the toyota group we had most of us split off cause we had came with a few jeep friends but cool rigs!

wouldnt be a time with my jeep buddies if they didnt take me to the same damn hill that i hit the tree the first time and yes i hit it again...

 

a few toyotas decided to go back to tuttle creek i havent been there since that one time with my friend so this pic was taken a year apart still sucks to not have him go camping with us or to not go wheeling but have to keep moving on..


then and then

3 wheeling


me and my buddy Riley and his sweet tundra

 

not even a week or two later i went back out to tuttle creek for the midwest krawelrs thanks giving! another large event tons of awesome people and great food!


good group of toyotas we had a few more but they left earlier

jeep friends told me to climb the cliff

check out that old toyota truggy behind me that thing was sick climbing up 90% cliffs sadly he blew the motor he had but it did make it back to the trialer

just a nice poser pic thought it was cool

so i did lol they push me to try things i normally wouldnt dare try and do so its good and bad because you can see the bad which is those two dents also smacked a tree again right by that dent and busted the factory bumper so i had it zip tied to hold it on the truck so it was time to order a replacement!

 

only pic from this event this was wheeling for toys hosted by kansas rocks was a amazing turn out filled a entire trailer full of toys for kids!
wasnt the best day for a few of us the white 4runner blew brake lines in the rear the land cruiser keep having intermittent running issues where it would just die!
then for me my damn winch decided this is the day it will mess up on me since then the winch has been on and off on working where i have to hit the solenoid box to get it to work sometimes zero clue why?

 

in between this time i did some interior mods i got the expedition essentials 2 tpam and the tech deck for tablets gps and phone will edit this once i get a pic of the interior


lots of tech gadgets for trips

slowly collecting patches

 

got a wilco tire gate from Sacrifice love the gate after i got it installed i threw my factory spare on it



took me a couple of weeks to get a full size spare and a fj steelie but got it all on a few weeks ago!

 

back when i busted the factory bumper up i had ordered a new sos concepts front bumper with a center hoop and ifs skid plate couldnt wait for it to come in and get installed! the bumper and skid came in a few days before new years i was told by the shipping company that it was gonna have a 3 day delay and not be in for a couple weeks! but to my surprise as i was leaving to go out of town they called me right as i left saying it had arrived!! went and picked it up and left it at home then next weekend was install time!

 

things actually went south for us when trying to install the 700lb springs we tried using the weight of the vehicle like i did with my old springs and welll about knocked the truck over on its side..... those springs would not compress so we took them back out and put the 600lb springs back in and installed the bumper it sags a tiny bit but not bad enough yet will still need to put the 700lb springs on but gotta find a place to do it

 

transformation from day 1 to current


missing the mall crawler phase for a reason i dont want to remember that one

 

most recent event was the kickapoo trail run in kansas with the midwest krawelrs tons of fun not a hard trail at all more of a scenic trail was meant to be just snow wheeling which ended up being a muddy mess!



over 30 mins of just mud was a ton of fun if it shows you how easy it is look behind the jeep behind me yup thats a Subaru legacy bone stock with mt tires made it all the way through that mess haha

these two are the aftermath of driving on those trails\/

 

and finally got it all updated to current lol probably some small things here and their i missed but oh well will continue to update this as new parts show up and things get done


favorite pic^^^

 

well this sucks my rear speakers finally gave out looks like time to upgrade to something better wanting to swap all speakers in the truck and maybe add a small sub nothing crazy

 

Nice build, cool name. Recently picked up a Switch and I've been binging on Breath of the Wild. Sorry to hear about your friend, gets easier but doesn't get better.

 

Thanks man and ya I think I have close to a hundred hours on breath of the wild lol and thanks this past year made it easier with meeting new people and getting out more so now I just think of the good times

 

playing on craigslist found my self a new bed rack hopefully if the guy is available this weekend off to Tulsa i go to pick it up!

 

well took the old kb voodoo rack off this rack isnt even a year old and looks like its over 5 years old thats been sitting in rain and salt its bent in a few spots here and their tbh it did its job at getting me and my tent around but its time for something new will be picking up the new rack tomorrow out in tulsa OK.

 

Got the new rack today out in Oklahoma stopped by the center of the universe!

 

great build man with great pix. how did you like that usoffroad slimline?

 

I loved it still stand behind that bumper and product I screwed up my front bumper so it was time to swap it out still got it in the garage lol

And thanks man!
