Mikey's Build Thread...

To the top I go for a split second.

Finally got the Warn VR Evo 12-S installed. Have the control box under the hood with a Vice Design relocation kit for a Ram. It included a bracket that I made work on the passenger side behind the head light. Also included extended cables. Of course put a blue Factor 55 Flatlink E on the end of the line.

Did have to do a little grinding to get it all fitting nicely. But I finally have a winch.




Also started working out the location for the new rock lights. Have the KC Cyclone in diffused one Rago Fab mounts.



Front will go on a bolt from the Shrockworks bumper. Are they unprotected? Well a little but don’t really crawl much these days so I should be good. If they get hit and break, I’ll get a new one.

There will be two on each slider, one to the front tire and one towards the back tire. Then one behind each tire. I plan on having each side wired separately, well because why not, only a push of a button to get them on.

Ran out of time before getting everything done.

How you like the LP 9’s from BD? I bet them suckas are awesome!

For the rock lights up front,
Are you able to fit them a little higher behind the wing of the bumper? That’s where mine are and they shine the front really good. Not sure with the shrockworks though just my recommendation.

The LP6s are amazing. Wasn’t sure if the 9s would fit under the hoop and it would have been close. Don’t get me wrong the 6s are bright enough.

The skid for the washer reservoir gets in the way in the passenger side that’s why I am looking at this spot.

Cool deal on the lights. I don’t like the traditional light bar deal and the LP would be my choice but they’re costly.

That spot should work then. It’s pretty nested in the corner so odds of smashing it against something are low.

Got some wiring time today. Have the driver side all wired up. 4 KC Cyclones in diffused. Very happy with the out put. Just need a couple hours to do the passenger side.

And yes you are getting driveway photos from a cell phone.

Talking

Aren’t you glad now that you didn’t sell her.

You getting a new RTT? I am thinking if I keep my current rack to pickup a iKamper Mini.

Looking good those are small, bright and easy to fit almost anywhere. Good output you will enjoy them. I found easier to measure out wiring around vehicle and then make a daisy chain to connect then once installing. Except for the two fronts. They needed to be separate for headaches sake lol.

No RTT planned right now. I ordered a solo swag from Mountain Hatch and I have a Coleman tent for the family. Going to try the ground out for a bit and if that doesn’t fly with the wife it will be trailer time. There are a couple in the running.

Got a little wrench time today. Knocking things out on the list before the next trip (which will hopefully be soon).

I have had the ICS dash mount kit in the garage for a while and today was the day. Pretty easy install. I did add some washers behind the dash plastic for a little more strength.

And yes on the old orange dash computer you can still see stuff before adding your accessories.




Daily mode. Phone mount only.




Trip mode. Garmin inReach Mini and iPad Mini for Gaia/mapping.




I used Ram mounts in size B (which seems to be pretty standard). Mounted the ball below the ICS mount to keep things as low as possible. Still have good access to stereo functions in both setups.

So far happy with the purchase.

The truck is for sale, time for it to go to its next home.

Please see 1st post for build details.

Along with truck you will get all my recovery gear, pair of snow chains, 10lb Power Tank, 3 gas Jerry Cans, 1 H20 Jerry can, plus a full set of NEW OEM tie rods to be installed or used as trail spares.

Also have 1 Falken Wildpeak new. Going to be the next set and the tire shop messed up a buddies order so I grabbed it for free.

Located in SF Bay Area and asking $27k.
