Mark's 2015 Pro Build

lol



new rims/tires ?

 

I am really considering that option right now. I want to wait and let it settle in a bit more, so I will be a cool guy and leave the tent on for the rest of the week and see how it does.
With the second option, I will need a constant load of 500-ish lbs to keep it from bringing me up too high right? Unloaded I would loose more down travel on the stock pro shocks-which I don't think I have much left. Also sacrificing the ride,right now they ride good-close to stock IMO. After measurements from before and after install, the truck sat 1/2" higher than it did with the CB +3 shackles, but it does handle the weight a little better(for now-until it settles).

 

New rims and tires?!?! me....? no no no.
Not yet at least.

 

I think that's the weight spec for the second option. I agree, after talking with @joonbug when he installed I didn't want to do option 2 right off the bat and risk sitting too high. So I figured I would let it settle, and then re-measure to see where I needed to be, either with a bigger shackle or going with option 2. I'm hoping it will settle about 1/2 inch which then going to option 2 should be perfect.

Yeah those pro shocks will limit your extended travel in your rear. Maybe time for some rxt shocks too?!?!

 

hah!
that is another way to go about this.. New rear trips and up to second option on the RXT's..

 

Yeah buddy!!

 

Nice! I like the addition of the security bolt for the ditch light bracket. That paired with our Squadron/S2 security hardware kit is a big theft deterrent.

haha! no no no.. I'll just sacrifice dropping the gear.. It's FREE!

 

Hi Mark, I think I got in touch with you last year about helping me put on my Shackles and Shims, still up for it? Im in San Jose

 

Better bring some Korean coffee!

 

Sure David shoot me a PM!

 

Get him fixed up and offroading with us!

 

Hah! That I can do!

 

I only have Cafe Bustelo (puerto rican coffee) or we can hit up the Vietnamese Cafe! lol jk

I looked back on this thread after like half a year and ya'll out there killing Hollister! I need to get on yall level!

 

Yeah, you should come out with us. Hollister's fun, no pinstriping this year.

 

We live so close to one of the best 4x4 rec areas, plus Pismo!

 

Are you gonna carry “pure bred JapaneseA5 Wagyu“ everywhere you go?

 

Lol
If he rides with me he’ll be in the passenger seat

 

have him sleep in the tent

 

I have to reinforce the ladder!

 

Put him in the bed to settle your springs faster

 

No!! He is gonna make em frown for sure!

 

Radio mounted


I wanted to mount it here originally w/o making a custom mount, but it just didn’t sit right with antenna cable on the backside. I would’ve also lost access to the 12v plug behind it.
Then I thought of a custom brake controller bezel mount, and that would’ve been tough to get a good fit and support. Would’ve been hard to see the freq. I’m on as well as hard to tune and possibly hear bc the speaker is on top of the actual radio.



Ended up here on the kick panel which was pretty much my last choice. This probably the better choice to begin with. Better view of screen, quick access to program, and access speaker jack.










Had a fuse box cover tray made by a good friend. Moving some stuff around to clean the birds nest and make it easier to add more accessories..Measurements didn’t come out as I expected might have to go back and make a new tray





Also getting started on my secondary air breathers. Cheaping out and going with basic stuff. Waiting on a few more things to come in. Here are some custom AN fittings my buddy whipped up for me!

 

Really of your custom AN fittings.

 

very cool

 

Nice! Secondary air breathers are still on my list

 

you NEED it!
with the bumper and the area you live in! get that shit ASAP!

 

I'm going to send it off to machining to make a few more. I can ask for another set if you want.

 

another set would be great. And, let me know if you need those fender clips 'cause I bought 50 or 60 of 'em. I didn't even bother trying to save the original ones, I cut 'em off and then just popped in new ones.
