Detail on Chassi

 

Yeah, I'm very exited about it too. One of the main reasons I got a taco was to be able to shoot from the bed

The station still needs some important details,

I'm thinking of an adjustable plate for feet positionning for the recaro seat, in addition to handles left and right of the recaro,

A tube that the spotter would grab with one hand while holding the spot light in the other hand and standing on the rear plate,

A seat belt for the recaro seat, and another one that would go around the back of the guy standing on the back plate,

Will be trying this new baby out this weekend hopefully.

 

your lucky. cant do that here in cali

 

hehehehe
Well, In theory, hunting is illegal here, be it from the bed or not
Edit: we live in a jungle...

 

wait what? where do you live??

 

Mount Sannine, Lebanon

 

oh i see

 

Some updates,

Took a picture of the trunck lights that I have installed earlier




Installed a gas tank in the bed, will come in handy on the long rides in the bush.




My battery died on me today!
I was planning to install the Optima Yellow top next week because I had a feeling my battery was a goner.
Looked up the Optima at the Stealership and he asked for 400$$$ !!!!
So I installed the Winner M31 , it is made in Korea, and I payed for it 155$

Here are some of its specs:

Winner M31
Marine, deep cycle battery
Capacity 100 Ah
Cranking Amps: 625
Reserve Capacity: 180 min
Size 330 x 172 x 240 mm
Extra connectors for the winch




It is 10cm wider than the stock battery, so I will be designing a new stand for it.

 

Took my babies wheeling in the snow storm,
Love the STTs pressured down to 14 psi

 

The Toolbox and the Hunting Station came back today from Powder Coating.

For some reason the Station is not fitting in its hole anymore, will have to take it back to Charly to fix that minor detail!

I'm Happy with the toolbox though.

Looks like you have Wagner shocks?
What is the compressed/collapsed measurement?
What part #.
This is my next purchase, and currently unsure what brand/size
after my progressive AAL lift. The stock shocks are at least 3-inches shorter
than they should be.
TIA

 

The suspension and shocks that I am running are Old Man Emu,
And I'm not sure about the collapsed measurments.

 

Nice truck! Lots of cool gadgets on your ride!

 

Thank you sir!

 

looking good dude. how did you like the STTs in the snow?

 

They were fantastic BOSS, but after I pressured them down to 14psi. Before pressuring them down I was running them at 30psi, They did not perform that well at 30 especialy when going uphill and in reverse; even with the rear diff lock on, it did not matter, I was spinning them without moving.

But as soon as I let some air out, It was like driving another car, I was running smoothely throught the snow. I felt so confident of the truck that I even let my woman drive it.

 

hahaha i noticed that. il have to try airing down if it ever snows again

 

Weekend snow wheeling,
Getting stuck, recovering and wheeling some more.
