1UPPER’s 17 CM SC Platinum Custom Build

A truck of this caliber needs a name! It is too nice for such a generic build thread title!

 

Yes. The rep said the strobe shouldn’t have the same wiring. He did say he wouldn’t recommend switching the wiring. IMO the strobe became a liability so they removed it from the second gen.

 

You should look into the Parks & Wildlife site. They do a trout release every 2 wks at a couple little lakes here, but it's a statewide event. They're now starting their catfish releases. In fact, a couple of weeks ago the family and I went. On the way back I figured we'd pull in for a steak at Saltgrass. Needless to say my kids lost ALL respect for my truck after seeing 1upper parked there.

 

Yup I remember being at Salt Grass a little over a week ago. It’s funny my kids always say everyone knows my truck at their school. Thanks for the suggestions on the fishing! I’ll check that out.

 

I went ahead and ordered some replacement led projector headlights today. They will be going to a retrofit guy for some custom work.

 

Something about those seems familiar...

 

I’ve got a custom roof rack being fabricated. It won’t be done for a month or more. Lots of cool details and first time stuff on this rack. I’m excited to see some of my design ideas coming together. I can’t post any pics yet since it’s a prototype roof rack.

 

Let me know what you think of the output when u get a chance.

 

Sure thing. They are supposed to arrive on Tuesday. I don’t know how soon I’ll install them though.

 

I just received my new Alpha Owl LED Projector Headlights. Curious to see how they look and perform.

 

I’ll probably install my lights tomorrow. I’ll post some night pics ASAP.

 

Looks good brotha

 

If you can take photo of your retros also, I know many are wondering what has better light output

 

Will do.

 

I received my ARB breather kit for the rear diff. I know I could do the home made version but I like how clean this one is. I also ordered a VIAIR tire gauge to keep in my truck.

 

I got my real carbon fiber license plate frame.

Where did you get the breather from?

 

I ordered mine through 4 wheel parts. They offered free shipping on orders over a certain amount.

Ill be checking that out then thanks again.

 

One more dumb question does it come with a replacement piece that goes on the actual differential. Im ordering now just wanna make sure i have everything.

 

Here are more photos of what comes with the kit.

You will need to order a threaded union to replace the existing breather. Here is a link from a previous write up on the install.

My 2018 Headlights arrived at my retrofitter today! Now the fun begins.

 

Cant wait to see what your about to do. Most likely it will be EPIC!!

 

Thanks! It’s going to be a few things I haven’t seen done yet. I can’t wait to see them done

 

I got a new tailgate latch and new side Platinum badges to send to painter. I’m going to have them done in a two tone color to match my build.

 

My Platinum badges are disassembled so I can do some cool new stuff. I can’t wait to get these new ideas into reality!

 

Here a few photos showing what the badges look like after being removed. You will need to take a drill bit and drill the plastic river head off to disassemble the badges. After they are apart you can do two tone paint and simply reglue badges back together after they’re painted. Makes the end result look very cool!
Badges after being removed.

Here is the plastic rivets that need to be have the head drilled off.


After rivets are removed. Makes painting lettering and badges super easy!

 

Can't wait to see the final product. This has been on my mod list for way to long. I know the 1794 badge comes apart the same way. Did Shane get the badges for you?

 

He was going to but they didn’t have them in stock. I went to another dealer since I needed to get them to painter by Friday.
