LawnDart's Build Thread

Subscribed ! Awesome rig. I'll end up overlapping you on a lot of the mods. I'm thinking single compressor in the engine bay for me. I don't want to get addicted to buying air tools, so best not to have the option...

Here's the one I'm going with: ARB CKMTA12 Air Locker 12-Volt Onboard High Output Twin Tankless Air Compressor

Next steps:
1. Getting the vehicle back on tuesday/wednesday as it was having some suspension work done in prep for the CBI rear.
2. CBI rear goes on next weekend, then installing the 5th tire, jerry can, etc.

Probably in October I'll install the ARB compressor (and bracket obviously), Rigid Dually flood lights for the rear bumper, diff. breather mod.

The only big floating questions are when the fender flares and snorkel come out. Really eager for those, and I'm sure ARB and Bushwacker are tired of me emailing them.

The fridge is a 2016 project, as I don't need it right away.

Will do a good one next week when the CBI bumper goes on, rigid fog lights, etc.

What makes that picture even more awesome is the random bystander to the side also taking a picture of your truck! Great shot...

My trusty Canon 5DmkII that's got enough shutter activations on it to make the canon service tech on the last major service go, "damn son!"

Do you have to tilt your panel like that? I've been playing with some ideas of mounting it to my roof rack once I make camp.

The solar panel? That was the path of the sun so I angled it to catch it throughout the day.

If you don't angle the solar panel for direct sunlight,you won't get the full potential power out of it. I have the GZ yeti 400 that has a gage on it which tells you the watts coming in from the panels.

Lol.

Cool, looking forward to seeing the pics. I am worried I would miss the rear camera too much. I don't remember how I lived without it.

 

[nguyenn]

Can't wait to see more of it...

I never had one till I got the 4Runner. I don't miss it. I'll get one of those little stick on wide angel mirrors for the driver side mirror.

Simply put, I'll live.

Great thread!

....except for all the teasing.:bump2:
