JWaldz '99 Adventure Build - Dual Locked | Geared | Mid-Travel | 35s | Armored

[JWaldz]

Nice. You decide about sliders yet?

I think, but they're going to have to come later. If I want to use 4wheel drive anytime soon I need to regear the rear end. So, that comes first. I only have around a month to do so bc I have an event the second weekend of April. So maybe after that, I can save up a little and get some. The ones I have will work for now. I'd like OL boat sliders but they're expensive. Thinking maybe savage offroad's with kick outs. Who knows.. I'm always on the hunt in the classifieds and end up buying random "good deals". Kind of like that light above lol. So I never know what I'll end up with.

My list in order:

Regear rear
35's
New sliders
Rear plate bumper (down the line)

That little brass fitting!!! :reddance: That's what it's all about. Very nice man. Congrats on getting it all buttoned up.

I didn't realize the build had moved so far along, great mods. I'm curious if this will remain a DD once you have 35's on?

Yes sir!! Thank ya :thumb3:

Sure will.. with the regear to 4.88s the 35's should put me right at stock feeling. I can't promise my mpg's will be any better. We'll see lol



So today I mounted up my LED Light bar. Had to get creative with it but It came out well. I think I'm done with offroad lights, for the front anyways

LED Bar only

LED Bar and Black Magics

Headlights, LED, and Magics

Also, finally got a hit on my CL "wanting 315s" ad. Going to check them out this weekend. Hopefully they're in good enough shape so I'll take them.

That's it for now... I said good day sir!!!

I'm guessing those are Tundra Brakes? Nice!

As far as the XDM goes... ask for it... get it... you'll LOVE it! Mine is .40 flavor, w/a 4.5" barrel. It's super accurate, feels great in my hand, and 16+1 of .40 is as much as I'll need to stop anything I might run into.

Digging this thread up, but if its about guns, i like :guitar2:
I have the .45 Springfield XD and i love it. .45 is IMO the best caliber. not as snappy as a.40 and will stop anything coming at you in its tracks. Good guns for the price actually. I like my sig better though

 

[JWaldz]

I can't bring myself to by anymore guns.. They're too expensive and I live an expensive life as it is lol.

In other news. I don't think I'll fit in my garage anymore :\

316/75-16 Procomp XTerrains

Looks awesome!

 

[BigFishAllDay]

Way to reach the goal man. Is it just me, or do those tires run a little small for 35's? I assume there's also some wear on them, being that you got them off C-list.

They're like a 34.7 so not too far off. Yea, depending how many runs/events I put them through they should last me through summer. I'm pretty much just wanting them to test fitment. I'll probably sale the bighorns at the end of the summer and get a new pair of 35s.

 

[xskydivingdudex]

35s look great dude! As for the XDM i love mine too, i have a 9mm version.

Well, the urge to do this finally caught up with me... I know I'm a little late on this but oh well. Lord knows I feel like I've done this 100 times, but I just don't have an actual build thread. I've done quite a few mods over the past couple years, so I couldn't possibly make up for all of it to show you guys. We'll just start with what she was when I got her to current.

If you guys have any questions or want to see any specific pics feel free to ask. Enjoy!

In the last picture, where did you get the rectangular LEDs on your ARB bumper? and how did you mount it?

Looking for a cheap, yet nice supplementary lights for my rig...

Did I mention this is a NICE Runner? nice work!

I got it off of YotaTech's classifieds. Where the original guy got it from I don't know.

This should be a start though >> AnzoUSA

Thanks for the compliments!

I passed a rig on 412 (I think??) coming from Tulsa towards Siloam Springs about 2-3 weeks ago, I was headed west on my motorcycle. It looked a lot like yours, not sure if it was you, I kinda don't think it was on 35s. Anyway if it was you, nice rig, it looked clean haha. If not, oh well...

 

[t4r4life]

man that light bar is so ugly dude, why dont you sent it my way so no one makes fun of you. i'll even pay shipping

It is 412 that runs through there but nope, wasn't me! That's too far NW, I'm in Central. Arkansas has tons of Silver and Desert Dune 3rd gens in it. Think it was like the most popular color sold in this region.

I'll take your post as a compliment though :wink2:

lol!! You can make fun of it all you want. You wont be laughing when I pull up behind you though I love the light, I'm just contemplating it's location.

im just jelly, you can mount it under the light bar so in case trees fall on it, it wont break, is that the ridge industry led bar?

 

[JWaldz]

Well, I'm not so worried of anything hitting it unless it's a big branch. Which, in that case, if it's a big branch low enough to hit the light it's low enough to hit the truck so I'd better find a different path. It being 10" it's hard to find a spot for it. I didn't want to consume the entire air-path in the front by sticking it in between my Hellas (wouldn't fit between anyways) and that only left one spot. It's similar, and built tough. It's an AnzoUSA light bar.

Check out this video of the torture they put it through testing it..

Thanks for the info! Looks like an awesome LED light solution... torn between those and something like the Hellas... I have an ARB bumper myself. Cheers!

 

[JWaldz]

Well, I like my Hella Black Magics. Simply because I like how far out the halogen light spreads. If I ever need to see in the distance they're great. The color of the halogen output also show more of the earthy colors for offroad. So I know exactly what I'm looking at. As for the LED Light bar, it has a wider spread and crisper lines. Not only that but the amps it pulls is ridiculously low. I could leave it on all night and it wouldn't effect my battery one bit. Which is good for different instances. So If I turn both on along with my HID headlights, it creates a very good spread of light.

If you're interested in the LED look I would also check out Rigid Industries. They have a lot more to choose from, including different mounting brackets and colored covers, just a bit more pricey.
