Fire's Toy

Well.... after somewhere around 8 months my rear bumper is finally painted....

Now to finish the swing arm that goes with it..... Maybe within the next few months....

 

Well I will have something for the front....... Just don't know how much and/or if it will be anything even close to what the final product will be.

Right now I just have a winch plate bolted on the front of mine, currently have a test center chunk being made up but it's not even done yet and I've already made some revisions to it.

I've spent the last few evening sitting in front of the computer working on the front bumper in 3D CAD software.

I should hopefully atleast have a swingarm on by Harlan even if it's not finished up by then. Just need somewhere to put the spare atleast.

 

custom skid??

 

Ohhh yea... That thing. Get with me on Monday for sure about that or else I'm going to run out of time to get it done.

 

Yea see this way it's all on you!

 

Just to update the thread a little with some of the current interior mods....

First I finally mounted my radio head in it's final position..



It works really well there, and I have the mic remote mounted farther back in the center console.

I also added an A pillar gauge pod which houses my Aeroforce Interceptor guage and an air gauge as well.



The next mod was inspired partially by member frozenground on expedition portal. I saw his setup and it got my wheels turning and this is what I came up with.

So I started off with a large speaker array behind the rear seat. This was installed back when I was a bachelor, now being a family man I seldom actually used it to it's potential. Thus I decided it was just taking up valuable space and it needed to go. Since I'm still a bit of a audiophile I needed some sort of low end fill to satisfy me. After a bit of modification I was able to squeeze an Infinity basslink behind the center of the seat and started building the rest.

Here you can see my 12v LED work light mounted, I still need to wire in the charger for it. Also you can see the added storage I picked up, as well as the first aid kit mounted above the sub.





Next was the drivers side. We have a golden who tags along on most trips and I was tired of him getting thrown around and falling into the floor board on rapid stops. So I decided to build him his own little space.



It is mounted to the stock seat hinges and extends all the way back to the back wall of the cab to give him just a little extra room to lay down.



I was also able to add more storage on the bottom side, as well as being able to stuff a bag under it in the floor board when it's down.



I'm still working on a way to utilize the space to the right that's left unused right now.

 

Nice


Still haven't got my interceptor mounted...

 

Thanks! Get on that... It's a pretty nice unit. Before and after I did the snorkel install I watched the IAT's just to see what kind of difference it would make, and indeed it did make a difference.

 

Nice looking setup!

 

Have you gotten your audio equipment yet? I can get some good deals on Infinity and JBL. Hit me up if you are interested

 

Rear bumper is on the truck finally. Man what a monster that thing is.... I don't even want to know what it weighs.

 

lol... dark outside.

 

....................

 

takes three people to get that thing on there, and that's with the tire gate on!

 

you mean without....

 

correct! guess spell check doesn't catch what I mean to say... but it is a heavy beeoch!

 

Spoiler!! Don't look if you don't want the surprise ruined...











The bumper is black, and has bed hoops!










Oh, well maybe that's not a spoiler...
