SMKYTXN's Build

You know he's not.

 

Bookmarked that camera link. Looks like Canadian Amazon has them too (although for 50% more - typical Canada).

 

Buy one of my switch panels and I'll put the cameras in the packaging.

 

I was looking at your switch panels not very long ago and they're pretty tempting. Unfortunately I'm already set up with a full compliment of BlueSea and OTRATTW electrical stuff. Some prefab'd parts for the Chevy 63 swap and long ass rear shocks though... that could catch my eye

On that note, it sounds like you are still trying to figure out the top mounting spots for your 16" Kings. have you considered using the shock towers from BAMF? Jerry says they're for 14" stroke shocks with stock length leaf springs, but I was thinking about using them with 63" leafs and 16" shocks.

 

Jerry's mounts are going to be too short for 63's, that's why I'm going to attach to my bed. You'll run out of compression on the 16" shocks and bottom them out with that mount. Oh, and I'm using 18's.

I have just under 16" of travel so the 16 won't work. Not enough room for error.

As soon as the plasma table is back up I'll be able to knock out some of the rear hanger mounts. The traction bar brackets are also in the works.

 

Good to know. I wonder how much more room there is for higher towers than Jerry's. I want to get the most flex/travel I can get without cutting the bed.. might have to set bumps up to limit the uptravel if I can't fit anything bigger than Jerry's mounts. I guess you wouldn't know anything about my woes though

 

You could go the first gen route and angle the shocks inboard to a new cross member.

 

I'd consider it if it wasn't my daily driver. The extra articulation is only going to be useful 0.1% of the time and I'd rather not sacrifice ride quality the rest of the time with the inboard setup. Thanks for the idea though.

 

Nice truck

 

Awesome!!

 

Time to get started on my rear cabin deck. Those pesky seats just take up too much room.

 

two seater truck?

 

Making a flat deck for an ARB fridge and stuff? Will the seats be swappable or are you just getting rid of them?

 

I'm not modifying anything that will prevent me from putting the seats back in if I need them, but they'll stay out 90% of the time. I always have crap piled up in the back seats anyway.

I have an engel 60qt fridge that will sit behind the drivers seat. The rest of the space will be for storage.
