JLee's Build

Ho damn! Last weekend, we were on Signal and camped at Pierce Creek.

 

Did you wheel over there or just camp?

 

Yeah i saw you guys i recognized the white one.

 

Oh nice!

I camped at Cisco Grove with my travel trailer. I was about an hour away from camp and got stuck in some deep mud in front of Sterling Lake. Had to get the campsite's owner to tug me out after being stuck for several hours. Now that I think about it, I shoulda called you Jerry! I had to pay a pretty penny for him to come all the way out to tug me out

But yea on the way out, there were a bunch of rigs (jeeps and toyotas) on trailers heading to Fordyce from that way

 

DAMN!! your rig is ridiculous!! awesome work

 

Since I'm a month behind in this build thread, subbing for future reading. Truck looks so mean.

 

Jerry, have you done much tuning with the ORI's? Curious about your PSI numbers and what not.

 

No i havent really i'm running 100psi in the front lower chambers and somewhere around 350 in the uppers. The rears i'm running just under 300 in the uppers and 0psi in the lowers at the moment. I'm messing with the lower pressure in the rear 10lbs at a time running it for a few days and seeing how i like the ride. The rear end is light and bucks around when ran at 100 like the fronts.

 

Isn't the lower your bumpstop? Good to know on the fronts

 

Spring rate and bump stop.

 

how's the rig been? you been able to get out wheeling lately?

 

I guess i can give a report.

I've driven it 5000 miles and it drives nice On and off road. I shortened the upper link in the rear and moved the axle forward 1.5" to help clear the fenders and get a better pinion angle. I've burned the brake pads on all 4 corners (I have a right pads now ) replaced the 2 front rotors. Having issues with the Yukon hubs lot disengaging every time i unlock them. My lower link crossmember needs to be welded on there is too much movement being bolted. My T case is leaking as well as both diffs "easy fix just haven't found the time". I may need a bed cage the rear frame flexes quite a bit at high way speeds with a load.

I have only hit 2 trails and it did great! I climbed everything in my path Just a few little things I need to do to help it slide over rocks better the link mounts got hung up more then a few times on both trails. I was going to hit the Con last weekend but work got in the way. I still haven't really challenged the truck yet I'm sure MOAB next year with be the first not much more wheeling here left before the season is done.

 

excited to see the beast in person

 

so i know you got new pictures, post them

 

Awesome build man

 

Truck is to epic for mere pictures...

There needs to be a statue erected to proclaim it's magnificence!

 

Of all the awesomeness in this build, yes I am going to ask about the headlights. What projectors did you use and can you post some pics of that mod?

 

Go to theretrofitsource.com

I'm pretty sure his are either H1 or D2S minis but may be the FX-Rs. Either way those are the main three people get. PM me or call them up if you want more details on each option. They have phenomenal customer service I'm comparison to what I usually get elsewhere.

 

They are the mini's and i didn't take any pictures the light output is amazing.
