Adio3x's Build/Pic thread.

[snow&surf]

Did the body mount chop yesterday, my buddy took a piece of a hummer h1 bumper again and welded it in lol. Absolutely no rubbing at all at full lock!!! Anyone that plans on running my setup ~ Spacers and a 295, I suggest you grind down this piece or just cut it off.

+1 on removing/grinding down that piece. I also run 295s and asked The guys at Demello Offroad to grind that down as that's the part my tires rubbed the most. BMC looks good!

Off-topic question.. what camera are you shooting with?

Off-topic question.. what camera are you shooting with?

I use a couple different camera's.

Most of these pics were taken with a nikon d300. A couple pages back, I started using the d800. For video, I use a canon t3i. Also use a canon g12 for everyday stuff.

D300 & t3i are both for sale if anyones interested.

I just picked up a set of the 17x9 Six Shooters too. I was originally planning on running the 285/70 Duratecs until I saw that you had some issues with the tire popping the bead. I think Mikey and several others are running the 285 Duratecs on 17x9 without any issues. Do you think it was due to the tires being mounted/dismounted frequently which may have stretched the bead?

Did you have any clearance issues with the Duratec/Six-Shooter combo? I'm trying to run a similar setup as you (Radflo coils/TC UCA) but without spacers.

Thanks!

For everyday driving I think it should be fine, the problems happened when I aired down. I'm not sure if it was a mounting issue or the ledge I was crawling was wet and slick, I didn't want to take the chance of it happening again. I did notice that the wheels sat super far inside the tire, so I talked to some of the FJ guys that were running the same setup, they told me I needed a bigger tire. I've aired down to 18psi with these 295s, no problem at all.

You'll most likely want to get a body mount chop done, I think you should be fine with aftermarket UCA's with that 5" backspacing.

Molle Seat Backs

*Small update*

I was looking at these smittybilt molle seat covers, but they only make them for jeeps. So I came across these on expedition portal, they're made buy this company called Blue Ridge Overland Gear. Basically its just a seat back cover in Molle webbing, but it has a hard casing, so its nice and rigid. I only have passengers in my back seats maybe a handful of times a year, I wanted to utilize this space instead of having everything in my center console.

Here are the seat back covers.

I bought a couple different pouches from Condor & 5.11.

I'll get some pictures of them on the seats tomorrow.

Made in the USA. Check the link at the bottom of my post.

Nice. looking fwd to pictures. I have a trauma med kit, dog leash, and a lot of other crap stuffed in the seat backs. My center console is mostly unusable. This is one of the only locations where I would seriously consider using a molle webbing product.

I may be ordering a set of these. Good find Adio! I was looking into the Smittybuilt covers as well, but I keep hearing sooo much negative about their stuff.

 

[snow&surf]

Would these also fit behind the backseats?

Yes, I have a 3rd one on the way. Setting up molle to hold shot gun shells for when I go shoot trap, I can just take the cover off and have all my stuff in one place.

Awesome! Thanks for finding these! At this time I don't need drawer system for the cargo area, and I'm currently using a flimsy cargo organizer which I'm over. This may suit my needs perfectly. Can you take a pic when you get your third one installed behind your backseats?

Love that find Andrew! Springtail also makes a metal molle attachment panel for the back of the rear bench. I was looking at those, but I'm liking the front seat application of these. How do they attach at the bottom to the seat?

Rip-away packs:
Medium STAT Bag

Rear attachment panel:

Their website kinda blows so I would email them for details/pricing on the seatback rack.

I had looked at those a while back, and had thought about mounting it to the hatch with a possible fabbed up swing down but never went anywhere from there with the idea.

Sweet! Thanks, I appreciate the response, I may have to get me a set, my front seats are a little worn, and could use a little decoration!

Its just a loop with a buckle that goes around the seat. Its really simple and its made so you can just unbuckle it and take it on the go or swap them from vehicle to vehicle.

For the rear seats, its going to fit forsure on the left seat and middle. I'll see how it fits on the passenger rear, might have to add some material cause that sides bigger.

Thanks Andrew!

Was browsing around that sight and saw they made a padded bag with MOLLE for the Goal Zero 30W panel. Definitely going to do that when I get my kit. Thanks again for the link, good stuff.

 

[adio3x]

Ok so here they are!

I misjudged the sizes of the rear seats (thought the passenger rear was bigger for some reason), anyways, they fit perfectly. No need for extra material like I thought, the loops are pretty big.

Here are the fronts.

Driver, as you can see you still have access to the pocket behind the seat.

This is the bottom loop that secures the back to the seat. I just drove around for a little bit, you can't even feel it.

Passenger. I did run into my first issue, but its no problem. If you plan on folding down your rear seats, you have to remove the seat back first (only takes a couple seconds).

How much for t3i?
