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

LOVE IT.

it's a CVT Tent. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. That alone is why you should go with them. Bobby is a great guy amd loves his CVT family as he calls it.

I got mine on sale in group buy with 30% off so it was only 1200 shipped normally 1550 I think shipped. I have the Mt Shasta tent though. The Mt bachelor is like 300 cheaper or so but doesn't have the over hang for the larger changing room. Honestly I never use the changing room haha so it's not really worth it.

Yea I was mostly just kidding. I do like the idea of a bit better suspension then your running. But load capacity will be major for me. I want my trailer to hold a water tank fuel tank amd kitchette plus who knows what else.

So do you run your tires at 10psi all the time? Or just offroad

They are around 10psi all the time. Even on long highway hauls. Has never been a problem because my trailer is not super heavy. You'd never know the tires were that low, the sidewalls don't bulge at all and they don't heat up on the road either.

 

Interesting..i guess it being so light that must help.

I a long ways out though from building mine want the truck to be more complete first.

 

you got your blinkers installed, how much more complete can you get

 

HA! so true..i did indeed..even tho i actually don't have front blinkers at all


and complete..

-Lockers
-Long travel
-Relocate rear shocks
-new rear shocks for more travel
-crawl box
-35'' tires
-get skids done
-finish roof rack
-wire up all my lights clean
-bed line bed
-CO2
-Winch
-Supercharger


in now particular order haha


so yea..long ways to go..haha

 

I wonder what a SC would be like on a 5 speed. Fuck those first 3 gears would fly by fast eh!

 

1st and 2nd for sure.

I have been in Tonys truck..it hauls.

 

I prioritized your list for ya. And added one item you forgot.

 

Haha! Thanks mike that's a good order for the most part and I did forget regear!

 

sooooo I've beenn drinking ond wonder whats up with the c02 ... I wnt to the welding place to day and they said looked at me liike wtf?/ they have never hera d of that before...115 or something for the full tank an 20 to swap... I want a dedicated tank. they look at me like im crazy! need suggestiong...

 

Well the tanks are what's pricey. If your just gonna use a welding tank though then there would be nothing wrong with just trading in tanks every time.

But there are other places to fill CO2 as well

 

but wouldnt it be a painn in theass to swap the gauge thingieis? whres the proctection for the gauges liek on like on boxrockets?

 

Regulators?? No. You just keep the same one and screw it off the tank and put it on the new one

 

yeah i guees thats what you acll it. sonds like a pita. should you be worried abount them geting damaged?

 

any suggesions on a regulator? btw your a good guy monte

repped

 

well you have to take off the regulator anyway every time to refill it..

Wheelers has a few. If you wat to run your lockers off it you NEED a variable one. If you just want to fill tires, just get the cheaper 150psi set one. Im getting a variable one.

Jon..i love you..in a non gay related way lol..not get some sleep haha

 

good deal that probably with Ill go with! would you have ot change out hoses when you need to run the arb?

 

Well you get a kit for it amd I'm going to have either a dual plug in point or so,e custom hose for it so I won't waste a lot

 

This guy:



Not your friend.


But yeah, the ability to either swap out tanks or just have it refilled is probably gonna be my best bet.

I'd want to run lockers eventually but it'll probably later rather than sooner. So I'll likely get the cheap one for now.

Is there any concern about leaving the tank/regulator/hoses exposed to the elements? Do you need the remove the tank after each trip or can you just leave it there? Or should it just be mounted in the cab behind the seat?
