BigRogers Build

[BigRogers]

Finally got my Hanma 3x3 LED back up lights wired up. Only took me a afternoon to do it, not sure why i waited so long.....

Lights are great. Super bright flood style LED's. On the back of my BajaRack they fit perfect. Ill try to get better pictures when i get out and wheel with them, these are pretty crummy. Definitely will help me around the camp or while im out for a little night wheeling next time im out!

THANKS MAN! Details will come.....want to make sure it will all work before i fork out any details.

So with your new cargo box build coming I decided I should finally come out and say something.... I totally copied your original box build haha.

Love the truck and I'm way jealous of all the ARB gear you have going on

HAHAHA! Great man! Glad you could use the idea. Just got through running through your bada$$ build thread! Geez you've been busy!

The ARB stuff is fantastic. Love them every time I go out, only used the front locker one time so far, but it got me out of a pinch. i was told to be gentle with it as the front locker will break a CV in nothing flat. It has been the best upgrade I have made to the truck yet.

Finally able to breath again. Work life has been nuts, and cut a ton of time out of the wrenching and wheeling.

So here the update to my rig.....

Wheeled at Southern Cruiser Crawl (Superlift Park). Trails where pretty intense, lots of off camber, rocks and mud. You name it this park has it. Had a FJ roll in out group, never been around for a recovery on that before, but amazingly it started right up and drove off the park smoking like crazy.

Few shots of my rig:




Also had time to finally get my rear deck re-organized. I ended up drawing out the rear end with cad, getting a sheet metal template cut to verify size and hole locations. Then had a 1/4" sheet of aluminum cut to fit. Its great, I was able to mount the fridge slide tray to the aluminum, and plan on putting down some of the S-Track Tie Downs for boxes and what not. Great system. I can produce these if anyone is interested in one for purchase. Just let me know.

Man. I remember when I first met you at Rocktek, your truck sure has moved along nicely.

I like the plate in the rear cargo area, I may try that with my 3rd gen.

 

[Hepar]

I want one of those ARB fridges!

 

[Photogdog]

Looking Good there Mr. Rogers! When are you getting those killer rock lights installed?

 

[Dirtyfingers]

You got a nice truck there slick.

Thanks man!
It has been a good hobby, best yet I have made some great friends doing it. I heard through the grapevine that you moved to Ohio? Hows the wheeling up there?

The rear plate is nice, like i mentioned in the post I need to get some s-tracks installed to hold things in place.

Man the fridge is one of my favorite things I have put in the truck. Expecially when you are out for 3-4 days. No need for ice and you can have steak and cold beer every day! :becky:

Trying to figure out a bracketing system for them, i dont like the way they just stick to the bed of the truck. Ricochet makes some specifically for the lights. Rock Light Mounting Bracket Pics

Thanks Man!

Yup, in Ohio now. I have not been wheeling at all yet, no free time.

the cool thing is they have 4-5 months of camping weather here every year, so i will get to take my boys camping more.

Are those plastic levers in the middle of the back seats? I've never seen that before.

Fridge is nice, I'm jelly.

The plate is laser cut. I just PM'ed you about pricing since your local it will be easy.

The plastic levers are actually for child seat restraints covers, seems like something they only did on the '02 model. My '01 doesn't have them.
