Jade Where's Waldo Build

Snagged a camper shell from Craigslist, debating wrapping it on just running the silver, it looks suprisingly good.

Also added the Dakar aal and she's barely holding all the weight prob gonna have to swap for expedition leafs at this rate

Finally made the video from pismo beach

 

Where did you get your front bumper side marker lights?

 

I love this truck man! Killer stuff keep it comin

 

Looks good! Just need paint and you’re set on the shell

 

Early morning fishing but the eerie fog really made it, forgot my paddle so I ended up walking around and landed 1 small mouth and lost 2.

 

Jade is one of the best colors on the best gens (1st)!

Wheel and tire setup looks KILLER!!

 

All Pro sells them with the bumper, they may sell them on their own though!

 

Finally got around to installing the brackets for the arb and installing the factor 55 expert flat link

 

Finally popped the winches cherry last storm and explore some fed roads near Placerville. Work permitting, hopefully some trips will be in store this summer

 

Trying a new position on the tire carrier. Time will tell if its better or worse or if I need to modify it again for 35s. Its about 1.5" closer to the camper

 

Air supply finished. Put 2 connections just in case. Got 50' of airline for the whole project so from the front or rear I can hit all 4 tires.

 

Finally decided to make the jump to 315/75/16

 

Fitting

 

Looks great! What's the backspacing on those ray10's?

The fender flare looks pretty much fully intact. Did you not have to cut into it at all? From what i've seen it seems that most people that run the flares with 35's have to chop out the whole underside of it.

 

Photos got somewhat jumbled uploading. They are off now but I plan on trying to keep the flares. Like @jubei and similar to @Blackdawg @cynicalrider @mrbeggins

Ray 10s are 4" bs and I have 0.75" bora spacers.

 

Much more time consuming than expected. Only got one side completed today.

 

Waiting on some new fender clips and maybe it'll be enough to hold other wise ill figure something else to keep the fenders.

Doubled down on seam sealant since my welds aren't all that, didnt prep as well as I should have but it might work. Tire doesn't touch anything but the frame on the rear at just about full lock.

 

With the tire tucked, to the wheel.

 

Well here is the before and after. 4.88 with the 315/75/16s is better than 285/75/16 with 4.10. On relatively steep hills it will hold in 5th for a while then I drop to 4th and can accelerate up it at 70.

Now I have to figure out the fender flares, finish the break in and oil change, install the skids and fab a transfer case skid.
