Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

Yeah I know.... But with 9 switches already tied up....I wonder how much more I could ever want?

 

I have 8 and can think of 4 that i'll probably end up needing eventually.

existing- compressor, front locker, rear locker, roof light bar, ditch lights, front bumper lights, fog lights, rock lights/reverse lights (dual position switch, down is rock lights, up is reverse lights, because i didn't have any room for another switch)

future- front diff add (need w/ fj case), water pump (for shower), winch power, winch in/out, another option could be a master switch for bed power.

 

Wait you don't have a winch? And all this time I thought you did lol

 

Most of those are not in my future...I am going to be running compressor, frt lckr, rear lckr, roof light, ditch light, bumper light, rear dust light, rock lights, bed lights...I have a Warn wireless that kills some need there...I have a spot for 2 more switches next to my cup holder...And I already ordered the mounts for them just in case... MMMM FJ case...

 

Hah black for da win! And Thanx Homie!

Haz said winch, I believe it's handheld remote

Long story short.
My sliders were mis-delivered to me and unfortunetly sat at another address for just over a month.
By the time I found them they were covered in rust.



Now I've been prepping them for 2 weeks


Got the first coat of Por-15 on last night

 

He's talking about in-cab controls for winch power and winch in/out...

Matt

 

Lookin good. Semi gloss?

Yeah had to look in his build thread. Im surprised he hasn't done that already considering his job field!!

 

As was said already, I do have a winch. Just have never needed in cab controls. You have to get out to hook up the winch, might as well hook up the remote while you're at it. It's long enough to easily reach into the cab. It's just 2 more switches that I'd do if I ever decide to cut up my sunglasses holder.

 

Ah i gotcha. Makes sense

 

Yea Semi, that's what I bought by accident. I'm goin to rattle can them flat black as final coat tho

 

Actually this isn't a bad idea since once your sliders start getting a little glossy you'll know it's time to put another coat of flat on them.

 

I know when need to put on another coat because all I see is rust and bare metal scrapes from Rausch. I feel as though redoing the bottom of my sliders will be a twice a year process.

 

My sliders or semi and they look a lot better than they did when they were flat

 

We'll see, all the black on my truck is flat.

 

You going to the clean up on the 26th?

 

I use krylon dual satin black

 

I have some of that
I have to take the wheels off and repaint them soon.

 

Wish I could but I'll be in north jersey at my sisters wedding

 

Well congrats to your sister.

 

Buggy is looking good man! Like the CB spot! May do the same someday
