Which lights on which bumper? Sorry, I need clarification.

It’s a mess in my garage at the moment...

 

Ditched the Blue Sea MLACR for a RedArc. Had to order a new battery mount for it because the old battery mount incorporated the BlueSea. OffGrid makes a good piece of kit.



New Total Chaos Exp lower control arms have been installed.



Forgot to order new axle seals. That will be done tomorrow. Factory CV assemblies have been on backorder for some time now. Waiting on one so I can bolt all this crap back together.

Finally received my first shipment of 3rd Gen Side Shooter antenna covers. The finish is practically flawless.




I’ve got to film the installation/assembly video this weekend so I can finally and officially launch this product.

Took this RV on a family trip to Oregon to visit my sister and niece in Bend.



It felt like I was cheating on my Tacoma.

 

Ditched the Blue Sea ML-ACR for a better controller when dealing with the combo of AGM batteries w/ a solar controller. Chris was clutch in making sure I didn’t fry my new RedArc battery controller.



Still waiting on another CV assembly. They’ve been on national backorder for months. Everything else is done on the front end. Just trying to be patient.

 

This also came in the mail today. Again with the patience.

 

Flat bed updates?

 

yes updates please

 

Yeah! Updates!!

 

I’ve been waiting on a manufacturer for an open slot now, well, for about 4 months. I just put together a proposal packet and am shopping around. It’s a tough process to get through. I want this built local. I want someone I have a good relationship with. Finding the “sweet spot” between competency, price, personality and efficiency is a lot to shoot for.

 

I will say that the rats nest is beginning to come under control.

 

Why don't I see a TRD Supercharger in there?

 

Because that was sold a few months ago to help fund this flatbed...

Plus, there will be a turbo under there eventually.

 

I’m a practically blind dude. I’ve never been good at pics...

 

Sounds artistic!

 

It’s basically Pictionary ?




FLATBED....

 

Will you be adding dual shocks to your eventual list?
I got my Expedition Series dual shock LCAs in around July. Getting ready to order the mounts and some 2 tube 2.0 bypasses (I think. Accutune has a shock already for mid travel, that I'll order)

I recently rebuilt my UCAs too. I love that after 3 years of east coast winters, the uniballs came out with crazy low effort - on a brass vise! New ones went in super easy too.

Check out Bison Offroad stop cams. A little more adjustability than Poly Performance Taco Tabs. And they will be easy to install because you just did the LCAs. Wont have to fight rust if you have it in CA.

Looking forward to flatbed updates too. Something to over

 

Well, now that the Patent Protection status has been acquired, I feel like I can release a few images of what’s coming as far as the flatbed goes...



These images are based on the DCSB platform. This doesn’t depict my personal Nomad build. That has a different profile.

 

OOooo. I like. I know it's way too early, but are you aiming for $5k, $10k, $15k or more for the flatbed?
Will it require modifying the frame mounts or direct bolt-on?
