The Some Day Build... And Trip Log

Man, from those pictures of the Nat Fo... I have heard AR is an undeveloped rock climbing paradise and it sure looks that way! Good luck with your new build

 

Finished up the Bluetooth Controlled Scene Lights.

 

A few pictures from a quick day trip to South Padre Island.













The Totem of Lost Flip Flops.

 

Built a set of solar panel brackets for the roof rack.


Started of by cutting some aluminum angle into 2 inch pieces



Drilled some.mounting holes



The arts where powder coated matte black.

 

I want to thank you for this write up. I just finished my 2lo mod and your pictures and write up helped get it done with no broken parts. The post needs to be a sticky somewhere for others.

 

Hows the reuild coming along?

 

Most everything has been transfered over with the exception of the rock lights. The front camera mod needs to be upgraded to a newer system .

There are a few trips that I need to write up and get posted here some teaser photos from one of the trips

 

Recently picked up a Gas tank skid on marketplace,



Had to swap out the studless straps.



new straps installed..



the guy I bought the skid plate from upgraded to a Long range Tank, so the skid no longer fit. as part of the deal he ended up throwing in the OEM tank at no extra cost. so it ended up being a really good deal on the skid plate.

 

some random pictures from recent(ish) trips..














The totem of lost flip flops, has succumbed to nature, but not far away, the totem of lost hard hats has sprung up/



UFO Beach, it was dry enough to get closer this time.

 

TWSS sent me an amazing gift this year.



I took advantage of the first nice sunny day we have had in a couple weeks and got this installed in about 45 min.

First up, off with the old OEM plate



Next the factory mounting brackets



The shipping box was used to protect the new skid plate as it was slid into place.



The OEM bolts from the brackets where reused for the front two bolts. they where installed first to take the weight of the front



Next the rear two bolts installed using the supplied hardware. this is the threaded hole on the outer edge of the crossmember, they may need to be cleaned out to ensure the bolts run in cleanly.



After the rear two bolts are installed loosely then the center 2 bolts are installed using the OEM hardware from the factory brackets. everything was torqued to 30ft lbs.

 

New tires...
