1UPPER’s 17 CM SC Platinum Custom Build

Thank you brother! I’m very happy with the rack! It looks so good and it definitely tied into my build with my grille and wheels. It’s a lot of work to install! I’ve got some other one off stuff in the works for my build. Super excited to post some pics after I get it all done.

 

I can't wait to see more one off parts and mods. Even that light bar looks custom done, and there's one in the back too? Can't even see it unless it's ok.
I'm looking forward to those 2018 retrofit headlights

 

Yes I have the 50” Rigid adapt, 30” Rigid Radiance, (2x) 10” Rigid Radiance, NSV light bars facing the front. Then I have a 50” Rigid Radiance and two Rigid dually leds facing the rear. This is why I decided to upgrade my alternator & battery. Plus I plan to do my stereo soon. The waiting for my 2018 headlights, emblems and tailgate latch have been a frustrating and slow process for sure. It’s been almost two months now since I’ve paid for everything in full and still no headlights, pictures or any pics of progress! They promised I would see them by the end of the month. That would put them at over 2 1/2 months turn around from when I paid them in full! As for my next mods It’s something I think will complement the rack very nicely and serve a great function at the same time.

 

No Sir - they had a single step for Driver and Passenger on each side. I saw them about a year ago when we ran into each other at the CVS on 2222. They remind me of the Magnum steps. Had a square step coming down off the bar.

 

My tundra has always had the power folding steps since it was new. So I’m not sure which steps your referring to.

 

Well damn - I will have to look up the ones you had and see if I was mistaken.

 

The first day I got my truck. Power steps were on the truck.

 

Damn that's brutal man. The suspense has been killing me, can't imagine how much it's driving you crazy

 

Sure I would like to see them on my truck already but there’s more important things in life. Plus I’m a firm believer in Karma. I’m more disappointed in the retrofitters lack of communication, bad customer service and standing behind their original 4-6 week lead time. I just hope the end result is worth the wait.

 

I hope so too. Has the potential to be pretty awesome.
I had forgot all about the custom badges. I can't wait to see, I wanna do something with mine at some point. I actually thought about smoking them, but we'll see

 

Did you see my post on how to separate the platinum badges?

 

No but I need to find that. I saw a pic of one disassembled but missed the process. I'll start searching

 

Drill out the plastic rivets on the backside of the badge.

 

Thanks! I was on page 11 of your build working my way through haha. This is what I needed I didn't see a way to do what I want to with it all assembled

 

I have 2018 headlights coming that have the smoked chrome bezels. I think smoking the chrome on the badge will look nice, and the other parts are black or brushed, the brushed look matches my OEM wheels which I won't be replacing unfortunately. I'll be chrome free if I do that. Not that I had much on the platinum though anyway

 

Questiin for you? Going thru facebook i see a picture of a truck that looks like urs but they are taking ownership of making the roof rack. Didnt u mention coachbuilder did it for u? Just curious.

 

I just saw that too and texted a screen shot to @1UPPER. Yes, 1upper has a Coachbuilder roof rack (I helped install it)

 

Just cheking cuz that aint cool if they are taking credit for something they have no clue. They even say they jusy revealed it a car show lol

 

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t do Facebook but coach builder is the only one who makes that rack and has the rights to do so. I also didn’t give that person permission to post my pics or know who they are.

 

No worries i dont know if i can post the sxreen shot or not here but if im not allowed a mod can take it down

 

Some more

 

Say you know the owner of something and PMs blow up

 

Did u get kiked out of the group? Cuz i sure did lol

 

Did you? What did you say? No i wasn't kicked....yet. i might soon though since i went direct with the guy who made the rack @1UPPER has and shared everything with him.

That guy is going to get talked to.....

And i think 1UPPER may have a message from said group buy dude

 

I was kicked out within seconds of posting. Are the photos still up?

 

Not sure @4x4_Angel will need to keep us posted

 

he cropped the truck out minus the top

 

Thank you to everyone for letting me know about this! It’s unfortunate that some people will take credit for someone else’s work and photos. He is trying to be a vendor for coachbuilder but the way he went about it is not cool. Typically people will ask me about using my photos before they post them. He also didn’t acknowledge Coachbuilder as the person making the racks. To say he already has five people who have paid...I doubt that as well.
