Run to the Hills! - Jason's Glacial Pace Colorado GTFO Build

Its all the awesomeness of a fully sealed winch and an external cone brake system.

 

meh, smoke and mirror marketing hype...

 

Hmmm on some things I would agree with you on smoke n mirrors but not this one. I have taken my Come Up apart. Its the real deal. This shit is awesome.

Its no bling like my Factor 55 Extreme.

 

Sweet, thanks guys for the help. Peace until next time.

 

Your build is awesome man!!!

 

Glad to help, bud!

Thanks! There's still a ton left to do, but I love where it's at right now!

 

Posted up a trip report from last weekend's run down to Halfmoon Creek.

Absolutely epic trip and I can't wait to get back down there!

Looks like an awesome trip Jason! Now get that front locker hooked up!

 

I got a CKMA-12 to swap with my CKSA-12. You better get yours in and done before I install two compressors.

 

Putting this here for the soon to happen alternator upgrade. Big thanks to @cynicalrider!

2 GA to everything, starter, block and alt.

 

Outstanding.

Thanks again, Mike!

 

No problem! Now get to it! Only like a month and a half to go!

 

I have the new alternator in hand, and the pigtail is on order!

 

Here's my to do list for the dual battery / winch wiring / Big 3 upgrade:

1. Order 1/0 welding cable and lugs for runs from winch contactor to house battery, starter to starter battery, batteries to ML-ACR, etc.
2. Order liquid-tight cord grips to pass high amp wires thru cab.
3. Order black delrin sheet to use for battery platform and support.
4. New wire from house battery to stock fuse box
5. Wire house battery to new fuse block(s)
6. New wire to new alternator
7. Pull stock battery after wiring is ready to go
8. Fab mount for winch contactor and ARB dual in stock battery location
9. Mount winch
10. Wire winch and contactor
11. Wire compressor
12. Wire fuse block(s) and sub circuits

 

So stoked for the trip dude you have no idea. Two more big projects for me and I'm ready, one of which is getting done this weekend. Can't wait to see this truck in person in less than a month and a half!

 

Dunno if you have a hydraulic lug crimper but holler if you want to borrow mine. Sounds like you have quite a bit of wiring in your near future.

 

Thanks, Tim!

I have one, but I haven't used it yet. It would be nice to have another one on deck!

 

I'm stoked, but nervous as hell that I'm not gonna get shit done in time. It's not as big a risk for me as it is for you, but I still have a couple big things that I want out of the way. I guess I'll have to sacrifice sleep, because work is still super crazy.

I'm going to lower my bed rack considerably. I need to get the CG down as much as possible, and I want it done before any more serious wheeling. With all the off-camber shit here in CO, it's not something I want to worry about.

I need to get the dual battery, winch, compressor, and locker nailed down too. That's a fair amount of wiring and plumbing to get done and then shake down.

I'd love to do frame plates, but I don't see it happening before RT. I see this getting done over the winter after pulling the RTT, bed rack and bed, and in parallel with the rear shock relocation.
