Jonnys_Tundra Build Thread

Build progress has been a little slow but here is a battery box and electrical panel I have been working on for a house battery in the Atlas.



Once the weather warms up the wood will be getting a coat of bed liner to match the rest of the cabinetry and I can get this all installed and wired up.

 

A little progress made today! Removed all the cabinetry for a fresh coat of bedliner and coated the new additions. While the bed liner cures for the week I need to tidy up some loose ends and then I can get it all back in.

 

A little more progress made on the cabinetry today.


Mocking up before install

 

Got everything reinstalled in the truck and am pretty happy with how it all turned out. The new box behind the fridge holds a 200ah LiFePo4 battery, RedArc BCDC Alpha 50 and circuitry. Due to the size of the box I also installed 2 4in fans, a pusher and a puller, on a thermostat to regulate the temps in the battery box.
I also made a cubby up front to hold my Dometic water jug and I have the hose routed to the back beside the fridge where I have the rechargeable Dometic water faucet.


The battery box lid is also removable with 4 10-24 screws for easy access.


I also fabbed up a QD water outlet at the rear of the truck.


As well as mounted a 1000w inverter and remote beside the fridge.


It's safe to say that without going up, I have pretty much maxed out what little bit of room I had to work with and have utilized all the nooks and cranny's I could.

Close up of the electrical chase

 

I’m looking at getting the C4 front bumper and the Badlands 12k winch combo. Did you ever have the Badlands mounted with the C4 bumper? Just looking to see if there was a fitment issue

 

@jlaughtr I didn't, I was running a Smittybilt in the C4, it should fit though.

 

@Jonnynewton909
Sorry for the bombardment of likes. It's been a while since I've logged on the forum, and just spent an extended lunch break going through your build. Love the rig, and all your custom work!

 

@GAknight the bombardment of likes is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

 

Well I finally got up the nerve to drill some extra holes in my roof and got the SOB Fabrication roof rack installed. Really like how it smooths out the transition to the AT Atlas.

 

Posting just because! LOL
Made it out to the 19th Annual Toyota Jamboree in Gilmer, Texas this past weekend. Snapped this picture while I was out there.

 

Nice pic! How did the truck do compared to all the smaller rigs out there? And how does it wheel with 37's and stock gearing?

 

Thank you!

It does good. Ive put this truck places a full size probably shouldn't have been and it just performs! Ive only had one instance trying to crawl a rock ledge in Colorado where lower gears would have been nice, other than that it does good on stock gears. That being said though, I still want/plan to regear and throw a locker in the rear. My biggest weakness now is being open diffs so I have to really think about my lines.

 

Right on! My head says 35's but my heart says 37's, and your truck isn't helping lol
