The War Wagon has returned from surgery after 5 weeks and got to meet it's younger brother for the first time.

 

You mean its replacement

 

That too

 

what bed rack did you have?

 

ah, nvm, saw it was the all pro apex. how did you like that?

 

I liked it, the 16" version is not very visible in the rear view mirror so that was nice. I liked the abilty to chuck stuff in the bed and have the rack act as a bit of a cage. I never mounted anything more than a hi-lift and a rotopax on it but it looked cool and that's what's really important. If I was gonna go back to a rack and add an RTT I'd def go with a tube style rack again vs the modular ones that don't seem to like abuse.

 

yeah im on the fence between RCI and kb voodoo rack, mid height or cab height, not decided yet

 

Buy local, the Chinese stuff from kb will rust within the week

 

So RCI it is. Theres a few other fab shops here in colorado, but im bias towards RCI products!

 

If you want to still use your rearview mirror dont get a mid rack. It makes the rearview completely useless. The only benefit is an RTT sits lower. The mid rack is also to low for awnings which is kinda annoying also.

^This. The only purchase I've made for my truck that I regret is the KB mid rack. Rust everywhere from poor prep and powder coat within a few months of purchase. I still have it on the truck after a couple years but it is on the list to be replaced. Still trying to decide what direction I want to go.

 

Hey what's going on brotha. Just stumbled across your build and had a quick question. How you liking the harrop e locker up front? Im about to add a locker up front and im torn betwwen an arb and harrop.

 

I am a huge fan of it, turns on immediately, drags me over shit I otherwise wouldn't be able to make. I've had zero issues with the Harrop in the front or rear. My personal opinion (which is very biased) is that if you can afford the premium (an extra few hundred on a several thousand purchase isn't much) that you should get the Harrop.

 

That was a premature post if there ever was one. It went right back because apparently hooking up electrical connectors is low on their list of things to worry about. Got it back again two weeks ago and have been stripping parts for the BRWNTRD before it returns once again and hopefully 3rd times the charm.

 

Went out for a farewell run with @AY_ARONTRD and @Prayn4surf

The War Wagon in it's final form, already missing a few pieces.

Getting a bit weird

 

But the rear bumper came off today with an assist from @Titus94 and gravity and it's unlikely there will be more shenanigans for the War Wagon with me in the driver's seat

 

King’s and everything coming off?

What’s the end game for the black truck?

 

Shay taking a new line lol

 

Kings are staying on, the relocate is too hard to unwind and cheaper shocks cost what these would sell for.

What's left that is coming off is the UCAs, u-bolt flip, bumps, switchpro 8100/blue sea fuse block, diffs/lockers, F5s, and GFC. Everything else will stay unless I can find a buyer that makes it worth it.

So it will get sold with the FJ case, open/open diffs, the rear shock relocate w/ 12" kings, the aluminum front bumper, aluminum IFS and mid skid, and the evidence of 7 years of shenanigans. Haven't decided if it will go away with the sport wheels with STT Maxx or the T4R wheels with the terra grapplers.
