Meraki Overland build

My favorite picture right now.

 

Ok guys, I wanted to give you a little heads up from @stronghammer and I. We are doing a small start-up company we are calling Meraki Outfitters. We currently are in the working for a final logo design to get things started such as stickers/patches then move into clothing and whatever else we decide. So...we currently only have an instagram and an email. So follow us on instagram @merakioutfitters and keep an eye out for when we start producing things!

 

Oh I always love new shirts with sweet designs. Gonna go give you a follow on my personal account now!

 

Thank ya!

 

Picture of my old truck, I miss this one a lot. Would buy it back if I ever got the opportunity.

 

So I finally got my prinsu racks on and the ditch lights mounted up.

 

Cleans up well.

 

Skid plates painted

I hope to have my ditch lights finally wired up this weekend along with the aux fuse panel. Ifs skid will go on also.

 

Did you get it all wired up?

 

Nope, unfortunately not. I got about half way through it and had something come up so I haven't been able to finish. I did however get my skid plates on.

 

I was looking into long-er travel suspension setups but always find myself going back to just a spring/shock setup instead of adjustable coils. Something about simplicity appeals to me. But which Bilsteins have the longer travel?

 

Looks like a solid start. If you're looking into a mid travel setup, they're great but they aren't as hands off as just a basic strut setup but it does make some obstacles easier and keeps the ruber down

 

I was thinking midtravel but I got on the extended travel Icon GB anyway. Definitely love the look of the OP's truck! This color was awesome, I wish they would've continued it! I'm going less lift more tire height vice lift and width.

 

That's what mid travel is, extended travel is just another way of saying it

 

Trying to get a photo dump of our recent meet, pretty good turn out. The Alabama crew is growing at a very fast rate.

So with the skids on, my front end dropped almost an inch, not to thrilled about that and am really wanting to go ahead and get 887s as a quick fix until I can decide on which coilovers I want. With 4 weeks away from our trip to Moab I know I need to make a decision within the next week. Still a lot of prep work to get done before hand and Im praying my sliders get here in time. I will to do a better job of updating the build page after our trip. Between school, a job change, and Meraki Outfitters time has been very limited.

 

So after looking at how much wiring would be ran through my truck and how busy the aux fuse panel would become also having to run so much wire through the firewall, I've decided to put it on hold until I can afford a switch pro. I really think thats the only way I'll be happy with having so much electrical modifications going on.

 

Some changes were made days before moab, 285/70/17 goodyear mtr on factory rims and spidertrax wheel spacers. SOS concept sliders with kickout and filler plate. Huge thanks to @EddyRRT for making that happen. Retrofit source fog lights and yellow wire mod. Moab was freaking awesome, loved every second of it and learned a lot. Cant wait to go back next year. Now that I've got a decent idea of what all it takes the truck will be way more prepared next time.
