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

yea..sucks lol

But the other one i posted is a nice option too..5 seperate relays..10 fuses..90 bucks..

So..i guess..between 7-12 wires to it..but still..keeps it clean.

im gonna mount mine in the back as well.

 

Yeah I'm to the point where I'm thinking of getting a bunch of different color wires, bundling them all together and just running it to the rear as one so whenever I want to add something I'll just connect it to the end of one of the wires. Then at the rear I would have a relay and fuse box with a 4 gauge wire running to the fuse box and just use the wire bundle to control the relays. And run the fuse box to the relay box for the power source. That way if I build my own relay box with 12 relays and use another 12 fuse Bluesea AUX fuse box I can wire 12 accessories without running too much wiring over and over again.

 

Thats not a bad idea at all either.

Im going to make cubbies in the floor of my bed for all of it so i want hardly any wires.

You could also get like some 4 pair cables too that have 4 cables in it already or something like that. even up to 8.

 

That's a good idea on the cables. I'm trying to think of where I would put my boxes if I was to do this...

 

Use the cubbies your bed already has?

im just going to cut out the bed in the floor and weld up some probably.

 

Yeah I will most likely, I'll have to measure everything out.

 

I feel like this has the potential to be a good bs thread, so i will continue to pop in every 6 pages

 

Yo Monte- you though 'bout building an offroad trailer?

 

Nice find on that relay block man, which I had seen that before getting my blue sea set up...still need to finish that lol

 

haha Sweet

Of course

i want to LT the front and have lockers first though. But i do intend on building one for really long expeditions

me too man..on both accounts haha

 

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT! Hold up a second bro!

IDEA!!!!


You need to be the first one to LT an expo trailer, so you can take that fucker through the desert at 80 with a trailer! That would be SICK!!!!

 

Yeah, lockers wouldn't be a bad call for that. I'd love to get a welder to start playin around with bed racks and trailers. This all after suspension obviously

 

BAH! That would be nuts

 

You'd never want to unpack it cuz of how long it would take to strap all that shit down onto the trailer!! haha

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA oh man..talk about an engineering project that would be..

Yep, lockers and a crawl box for me

do it man! its not a hard as one one think..well..i guess it depends on the person..but its not super hard.

just make a lid for it then you won't care haha

 

I have images of that thing just getting rolled lol DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

bull shit, just throw on some light weight LT leafs and some long shackles and do a bit of valving on some single bypass shocks and your trailer will have better travel then most of our trucks. Plus it would be HILARIOUS!

 

yea that would be the tricky part..of course ill have a tundra rear axle and LT front..so trailler will need a 67'' wide axle..or i could just IFS it sorta..with a removable SWAY BAR! HA!

 

You can get shocks for trailers too

 

TRIPLE BYPASS! lol


however there is one kinda major issue with this plan..

i don't really have a plan on LT the rear.....so..yea..even tho my rear suspension is pretty damn smooth and WAY better then my front..i don't think it'll keep up with the front LT when its on

of course..who knows..i have been thinking of ways in my head to put 12 or 14'' shocks under then will miniamal bed space used..
