07 build up

Lock the transfer case (the button to the left of the steering wheel). That will lock the power 50/50 to the front/rear AND disable the engine dethrottling (VSC). Should be able to spin the wheels off road this way.

any update on the new grill?

updates

Ive been pretty busy lately with the cadillac.
I have the grill mesh cut, I sanded down the grill and have it all masked off. I've never fiberglassed anything so I have been waiting for a decent warm day at home to test my luck. I have a new bumper I am going to throw on this weekend also. The lower grill is snapped on my old grill from the dunes so Ill make another grill for that also. I swear Ill accomplish something this weekend.



tl;dr= busy, did a little work, be done soon.

I actually did some work on my truck yesterday. After a long weekend in the dunes, I ended up with a check engine light and my dash light up like an xmas tree. Ran the codes and it was nothing.

Replaced Front bumper with OEM paint matched one. (foam cushion was barely hanging in there. trimmed tape after putting bumper on)

Trimmed up the mesh for the grill. (bought off amazon)

Starting to fiber glass grill shell (first time glassing anything, no idea what I'm doing)

I put 3 sheets of fiberglass cloth down on each section and I am letting it dry overnight. I trimmed out the grill further and bent it around the shell, at each notch at the top of the grill, i cut a tab out to make the grill fit securely and flush, Ill get some better pictures when I am finished.

I am also going to make a matching lower grill. I snapped the plastic one in a perfect spot to where I can still use the frame and just have to trim the top part. No hurry on that one though. Im thinking I am goin to put some lights behind the top grill but my headlights are already too bright.

Hey sorry for the delay
just bought a house, got engaged, rescued a new pup, and all of that grown up stuff, so I have been busy as all hell.

I did finish the shell for the shotoshi and i didn't like the way it looked. I decided to leave my stock one in. If you are going to do a shatoshi, do not put fiberglass cloth on the visible portion of the grill. it is a b*tch to deal with. Lots of hours wasted getting it back to normal. It was my first time ever dealing with anything fiberglass so I took it as a lesson. Good thing i bought that shell off of ebay!

I am not sure what else I am going to do to the truck at this point in time. Eventually I am going to convert the cloth to leather and hydro dip all plastic trim to something with a touch of class lol.

I have my cadi, my quad, my house, and a mini cafe racer that I am currently building/working on so "free" time is a real hard thing to come by these days
