Dexter’s 2019 platinum build

Beautiful rig!! Do your pods operate independently? Do any of them run as fogs and not off of the sPOD?

 

I run the wide driving off the fog selector switch on the steering wheel, the rest are run off the switchboard.

 

Do you know how much the bumper weighs? I just ordered one....will likely add an Engo synthetic line winch. Already have both light bars and the squadrons on my truck. Few more pairs will be good....Which configuration did you get on the BD lights? My squadrons are wide cornering...the 40 is driving combo....30 is wide driving. Getting the Xl's for sure and was thinking about S2 pro spots on the outside....LP9's maybe if I did I would get the racing edition. Also what size coachbuilder shackle do you have in the back.. thanks alot.

 

I believe the bumper is around 140lbs. In hindsight I wish i went with the overland bumper w/ squadron pro wide cornering, combo light bar in the bumper, with LP9's mounted on top with spot lenses..... and possibly an ONX6 in the grill- had the old high power one in 30in and that thing was an absolute beast of lighting power. The tube bumper would look goofy without a bunch of lights in the open slots and the LP9's are epic.

I have wide cornering hooked up to my factory fogs, wide cornering light bar in the bumper, combo on the sides, and combo XL80's. The top light bar in the hood scoop is a combo pattern as well. I wish baja had spot pattern available in amber. Really over the white light, especially driving at night on the highway, so much glare. The S2's pros don't throw enough light for the cost vs the squadron pros in my eyes.

 

Thanks much...I will likely get the LP9's at some point. Only have to wait a few more months for the bumper...do you happen to know how high yr lift ended up being?

 

No idea, im sitting pretty high up front.

 

Thanks I'm going with some coilovers and plus 3 shackles in back so it should deal with the extra weight.

 

Awesome truck. About how high you are in the front. Do you have a measurement of the amount of threads that are showing on the coil overs?

 

Noticed you just got the AGM battery...definitely recommed getting a bluetooth battery monitor you can hook up to your phone.

 

Great Looking truck, you look like you spend a fair amount of time outdoors. From one decked system owner to another I added power and some bed lights to make it a little more convenient while being outdoors.

 

Here’s a picture with the lights on.

 

I have to add the 30 inch light bar but I'm close...after the coilover in front and the plus 3 shackle in back i'm slightly nose high so I'm adding a leaf later this week to get the stance just right. You were right about the hybrid bumper....unless you are willing to go all in on lights go with that other model.

 

How has no one asked about the trailer and tent rig set up at the beginning of the post?!?!?! I'm currently trying to rig my trailer to be more a camping set up. That tent is intense! Yours? Got pics of that rig?

 

Got lots! Sold the truck last month, waiting on a 22 hybrid long bed, build will be similar to this one!

camper is an air opus 4, super bad ass rig!

 

WOW! Yeah I just went down the rabbit hole when I noticed the OPUS mud flap. Unfortunately we are looking to be able to load the dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, kayaks and all those items. Doesn't look like opus offers a 'toy hauler' that will fit our needs. But SWEET SWEET rig holy hannah. Looks incredibly comfortable and you don't have to tow a whole freakin house down the road. We rented a 21ft RV this summer, never again. Bought a pop up blind we will use for a bathroom. And just camp out of the RTT.

 

Sold my last truck(2016 GMC 2500) 4 years ago and I’ve been waiting for a new Tundra since, all along the way letting my wife know I won’t buy one until they come out with a redesign(and praying they came out with a long bed for the crewmax). She’s on board for with me getting whatever I want and in my mind all I really cared was to have the crewmax 4x4 long bed in pearl white or MGM with a Decked system. After seeing this build…

I really didn’t need to see this.

Excellent job on your truck it looks great!

 

funny I almost ended up with that exact build you described for my 22. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a long we and settled for another short bed, but am thankful i did- turning radius on these new trucks sucks a** and the length off-road would have been…. Bad in a lot of places we go. Here’s the 22 build!
