Cynicalriders "J0hnny5 is ALIVE!" 01 build thread.

Ah I never melted anything back there

 

Don't use a map gas torch your best bet is a stick lighter and using a breaker bar to push in on the plastic while its mallable. You can see it in this pic:

 

Added that #NFG mod thanks to @V5ioV

 

Installed my USB extension so that the USB for the head unit can be in a more convenient and useful location using an idea I saw in @PcBuilder14's build.

The USB cable that came with it was actually pretty long. It came out just below the bottom trim area.



Going to put it in this location since it's otherwise pretty useless IMO.



My hole saw bit kit made easy work of the drilling. A step bit would have let me be more precise though.



I routed the wires and glued the piece in and voila.




Next I went to trimming my interior kick panels to fit. They don't fit anymore because of when I tubbed for 35's.




Lots of marking and testing but it came out nice.




Also found mold under the one weathertech. Gotta address that now.

 

Prepped for an overlandish camping trip coming up by removing the front drive shaft and finishing the 2 low mod with some weatherproof electrical wrap.

 

Fluid filmed the frame to prep for the winter.






Gonna do whatever I can to make this one last.

 

Hey Mike, u used a spray gun for this? or just the can stuff.

 

Just the cans, but will probably go spray gun next year. Much more economical.

 

Cool. I tried the rustproof formula 3000 with the spray gun. looked legit at first, but I see it coming off in some places, and it hasn't even been 1 winter. gonna try FF for next year. my frame just like urs was replaced few months ago.

 

Badass truck and hope you leave the east coast and come out west

 

VA Trip Photo Dump!!!

First, the photos I'm stealing from @PPansini10 for my build cause he's got a good camera:

 

Now my shit iPhone pics!

 

Thanks man! Yeah definitely want to move out there one day. I feel like work will keep me on the east coast for a bit though.

 

Yeah I need to camp with you guys!

Those are Coopers right? AT or MT how do you like em?

 

Great time man

 

Nice pics man, looked like an awesome trip, specially with Mr Daniels there

 

The Maxx's are technically AT but definitely have a ton of grip. I've been digging them so far especially since this trip was done in 2WD lol The locker helped a couple times though.

And def down to camp. Would love to do Potts mountain or something when I have a working front diff again.

Fuck yeah. Ready for our next adventure!

Haha yeah me and Jack go way back. Thanks dude!

 

I'll look into the Maxx's then

 

Badass ride with friends, and God Bless America

 

We just ordered 91 extended cab internal cage with frame kit from 4xInnovations.
