The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

um, what is that din switch panel? upgrade man, upgrade lol

 

Yeah i think i'll get a snow kit. I thought about it, but he was missing parts and it was an older one so figured id just get a new one and do it right.

I am running CO2! If you look at the last photo i posted, thats a CO2 bottle! Ox says a 12oz bottle will do 1200ish locker actuations. I have 16oz ones. Plus i carry two 8oz spares.

Indeed! The way to go. Dry air lines

haha it only took me 5 years

Yeah man! Thanks! big time!

Yeah i know. Made that a long time ago. need to redo my bussman too. I'll be replacing it with your panel soon enough!

 

Got to say, I didn't realize how much I enjoyed reading your pictorial build updates until you stopped doing them there for a while. Guess I like living vicariously through your updates

 

I miss just building the truck. Working out of state sucks. Not doing that again. Miss tinkering every night.

Should all change soon though!

This was a weak sauce update too haha been so short on time i haven't been able to do my normal thing. Next time!

 

Agreed. I haven't really done much, but when I did finally get a few things knocked out recently it felt good. It's hard to want to work on something you're planning to replace though.

I think I missed the most recent story on the blower. Did you end up getting the kinks worked out?

 

Right on that's good to know, only thing I'd worry bout would be running out but sounds like that will last a while

 

Sorta..

I pulled the URD unit and it worked suddenly. Pings a bit at high elevation and below 2500rpm. But not bad considering i have the 2.1 pulley.

Gonna do meth/water injection to cope with it as it'll also cool the blower.

Yeah will last a long time. And like i said. I have two 8oz hot shots for back up.

 

So your gonna keep the blower on frank? Or still gonna pull it an put on other truck?

 

arm and a leg?

Alternator upgrade..150 bucks.

Dual batteries..500

fridge 500

solar on the RTT..200

 

Keep it on Frank still. For now. LS swap i think is next motor wise for Frank after this. Just need to make it run a bit smoother. Then i'll move it to Igor

 

Could be worse..my locker was 1600 haha

Quit buying vehicles and just mod the current one

 

You and me both!

 

don't we all.

 

regear, arb lockers

 

clean hose route, tucked out of harms way. protection where potential hazzards!

 

that was the idea! I actually ended up slipping the whole thing through fuel hose. Might redo the rear so its totally covered too.

Re regeared! The rear is still holding up okay even though i set it up. so thats good!

Front is just a bitch to do. Glad to have a warranty for it now.

 

WOOT for 5.29's and ARB front! I think you should come to RT since Frank's fixed.

 

I may or may not be able to. Depends on how my life plays out employment wise the next month or so.

 

Monte!

Question for you regarding your paintball CO2 tank:

Are you running it sitting vertically or horizontally? (I can't tell from that photo...) I'm getting ready to find a home for mine and it occurred to me that I really don't want to dump liquid CO2 into my ARB.

Thanks!

 

It is vertical!

Had it horizontal for a while. Didn't like the chances of that happening either. So moved it.

Worked great last week
