1UPPER’s 17 CM SC Platinum Custom Build

Only a few more days until some big additions to my Tundra Build!

 

Probably new headlights correct

 

Actually other mods first. My 18 headlights were paid for to be retrofitted over 6 weeks ago. I probably won’t see them till the end up next month! It’s been the longest and slowest process.

 

Hit me up if you wanna sell your current headlights. They look expensive though, but let me know. maybe I can swing it.

 

I can keep you posted but I do have a guy who has been asking about them for two months already. I have over $900 on just the lighting components. So I don’t know if I will sell them or not yet.

 

I kinda figured they look like 4 digit lights. Count me out lol.
Sweet truck by the way

 

I must be a pervert, cause only thing I'm ck'g out is that good looking barn

 

Well thanks for the compliment. I’m almost done building that barn and arena for a client. It’s been a fun project!

 

You doing both inside and outside door skins? I have used 101sf so far, going to add some more on the door speaker brackets one day, will be around 106sf when done for doors, floor and back wall.

 

I’m not doing the whole cab just yet. I want to get the roof done when I drop the liner for the roof rack. Then I will probably wait on the rest when I finalize my stereo build. I’m sure I’ll order more dynamat and some addition sound material for the floor.

 

More parts arrived today. It must be Christmas again!

 

If you did that, I have to take my hat off to you. Veeery nice. My wife knows that when we get our land that's what we'll be living in.

 

Thank you for the kind words!
Barndominiums are very popular right now. Here is another one I built with a lot more wood.

 

Look what arrived today! I can’t wait to get this rack started!

 

I ordered my new battery holder. It helps isolate vibrations and any movement. Plus it looks bad ass!

 

I can look at those barns all day long, and some are really a true work of art (like the one pictured above). When I make love to Ms. Skippy tonight I'll be seeing barn

 

Well here’s another motivational pic. Lol

 

WOW! 1Upper, thats awesome! I can appreciate all that wood! I am a trim carpenter, 31 years in the union. That freakin barn is nicer than my house! I wish I would have taken pictures of some of the cool projects I've worked on. Nice job!

 

Thank you! Yeah that barn is 5,200 sq ft. Each of those barn doors were 10’x5’ x 2 1/4” thick solid cherry wood.

 

Nice! $$$$$!!

 

Looking good!

 

Every wonder what your roof looks like with mount the roof liner? Well here is it. Big shout out to @Cfincke for all the help today! We dropped the roof liner to get the roof rack mounted. It was a lot of mocking up, masking off the roofline, re measuring, drilling and of course 100 plus degree temps. We got the main roof rack on, 50” adapt light bar mounted and installed my led 3rd brake light. This was definitely a quick and easy project and definitely not for the faint of heart since you need to drill at least 8 holes into your roof gutter track.




If you want to replace your 3rd brake light you need to drop your liner to access the two 10mm bolts from inside the cab.

The main bulk head metal bracket is amazing to see the arches and bends done out of one pc of metal.
After drilling the roof line holes for the roof rack hardware they go through 3-5 layers of metal.



Roof rack is on the roof and ready for wiring now.

 

Time to the start sound deadening install.

 

Are you doing it all over or just certain places?

 

All over! lol Ceiling with Dynamat Extreme then Dynaliner 1/4” over that. The remaining cab will be done when I decide on my stereo build.

 

Lol, I was just curious. Let me know how many sheets it takes for the floor and ceiling, if you dont mind. I'll probably have to do those myself. I'm heading to ********* on the 14th and they are gonna do my doors and back wall.

 

Will do bud. Taco tunes does a good job. They use ballistic for sound deadening last time they did my old truck.

 

To do the roof you need 18 sq ft of dynamat. The full 12 sq ft roll of 1/4” Dynaliner was perfect for the back cab section behind my moonroof. Keep in mind if you don’t have a moonroof you will need 6 additional sq ft or 24 sq ft total.

 

The real question is how did you get the headliner out? Through the back window?
