Lord Humongous Gigahorse Tow-coma Build

Thank you!

I just ordered one from Northridge for $135. The only other place I could find one was charging $200.

I was searching for “Sy-Klone 9001”, but could only find the one expensive website.
Northridge sells it as an “AEV” brand, but it’s definitely Sy-Klone.

 

Well, you been missing for a while. How is it going?

 

Been good. I havent been a very active member latley lol. Hopefully will have some updates with a slimline high clearance kit someday and the Glamper will be on the market in the near future. Keeping the taco but my wife and I decided its time for a different direction with camping and travel.

 

Can understand that. They can get a little small at times.

 

The funny thing is we will probably going smaller as far as livable space. It's actually more of a trailer thing. It was getting tedious pulling it on multistate journeys and having to leave it was kind of a PIA. We recently went to Zion, Bryce Canyon and the Arches. We camped out side of Zion but had to travel back to the trailer each day which ate up allot of time. Big comfy trailers are great for retired folks but too much work for people with limited travel time.

Our plan is to convert an E series school bus with the 7.3 international. I'll get to put that welder to work with a 4x4 conversion as well

Honestly the biggest problem is that I havent had anything to work on

 

Sounds like a fun project

 

nice

 

I made this thing to carry a Hi-lift jack. It fits around my relentless quick fist mounts with out interfering.

 

Installed the SDHQ billet ABS sensor gaurds.

 

My drivers side inner CV boot developed small hole causing a grease purge. I actually noticed it after inspecting a lower controll arm squeak which I believe was happening due to some grease contamination from the CV

I went ahead and rebuilt the axle with the SDHQ race boot set

The tri-pod and Birfield were still in excellent condition so no need for any new parts other than grease and boots.

 

Made some moar room for moar tires

 

I switch out my rear bumper and lighting set-up about a month ago. The RCI bumper is awesome and has a hidden hitch behind the license plate.

 

@Lord Humongous from your picture the RCI rear bumper works with both RCTA and BSM? Do you have them hooked up?

 

The RCI bumper only works with the back up sonar which I do have hooked up. It is not compatible with the BSM system.

 

Bummer

 

I went ahead and had the tires mounted up. They look BIG compared to the previous setup. I like it! So far so good as far as fitment. No frame, UCA, or other rubbing. I did have to trim and hammer a small piece off the bottom of the fender flare that I missed before.
Suprisingly to me these tires balanced very well and the ride id very smooth and quite for an offroad tire. (I'll update because even Super Swampers ride pretty good when they are brand new).

 

Looks so good dude!

 

Thanks bro! They made a big difference on the appearance!

 

I always like all your unique mods. You go into great detail on what you've done, but....

You now have different TRD rims and no story/ reason.

What is this now, your 4th set of tires? Factory, General Reds, Coopers, and the Kenda... what kind of mileage are you at now ?

Not bustin ya balls, just glad to see you're posting again
