SoCalDave’s Overland Build

What’s your opinion of the RCI bed rack so far?

 

Yeah, on the ARB manifold. ARB air chuck has rubber around it, makes taking off the hose easy when hot.

 

First impressions, it's beefy. Designed and made well. Only had it on for a few days without anything on it, so we'll see once it's loaded.

 

Don’t want to jump in but you will not be disappointed with Tepui. We have spent many nights in our tepui autana Sky and absolutely love it.

I’ve had a couple buddies buy smittybilts only to sell after a few trips and get a tepui.

 

Awesome overland build. Did you get the RCI armor from online or is there a shop in Orange County I can visit? I'm in Mission Viejo.

 

Thanks man! Good to see more OC peeps on here. And welcome to the forum!

I picked all of my RCI gear directly from their site. Shipping is super fast and customer service has been awesome as well.

 

I have a 2018 Tundra. Does anyone know if the XFAKTR ARB compressor mount will work?

I am not much in four wheeling much anymore and will most likely never install ARB air lockers in the truck...In the installation instructions for the XFAKTR it says that the manifold is necessary. When I read ARB's info on it, it says that the lockers can hook up to it. My question is will the manifold connection also serve as the connection point for an air hose to pump up the tires?

Thanks in advance!

 

It should as the 2018s are pretty much the same internally.

The ARB manifold has an outlet for connecting a 1/4" air hose quick connect and lockers. You can use any brand you like or ARB has a kit that comes with a hose, quick connect, tee, etc.

 

So something like this would work for the manifold http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-AIR-COMPRESSOR-MANIFOLD-KIT-171503-P22727C9.aspx

And then is this the ARB kit you were thinking of http://store.arbusa.com/TIRE-INFLATION-KIT-FOR-ARB-AIR-COMPRESSORS-171302-P21322C9.aspx

 

Yup, those are it. Let me know if you have any questions with the install.

If you need someone to trial this dual battery setup, let me know. Already installed the ARB compressor mount and review coming soon.

 

really nice. what batteries?

 

Awesome bro!

We have them on a few trucks, thanks for the offer though!

 

Dual Odyssey 34R-PC1500

 

@SoCalDave safe to say you are not running liners anymore ? fog lights ok ? I removed my front liners since I was rubbing but now I'm thinking of cutting a bit the front bumper like you.

 

i saw a crack in your DECKED ammo can email them they will replace all parts for 3 years
love mine have had the deck, drawers, ammo cans and gaskets replaced had a leaking problem now they are sending me an brand new system

nice rig

 

Liner at the front bumper is gone. Fogs still work. My tires wouldn't clear without the chop. It definitely opens up a lot of space. It's a temp solution until I'm able to swap out the bumper.

 

Thanks for the tip! I'll hit them up.

 

After some testing, we're finally releasing our XFAKTR Odyssey Dual Battery Mount. Takes 2 Odyssey PC1500 batteries in the stock location and 100% bolt-on. It's made out of 3/16 Stainless Steel, CAD drawn and CNC cut and formed.

Our buddies at YotaBeast is taking pre-orders at a discount until 3/31/18 and will be shipping shortly after!

Looking out for our accessory tray coming soon!

 

Sweet. Does it mount only using the factory holes? Any more pics of the clamp setup/location?

 

Two clamp down and sandwich the batteries together. Other two hold the assembly to the truck using one factory hole and one factory bolt location with our custom tab. We'll take more pics this weekend!

 

Hey Dave, Awesome freaking build. I have a question about the fuel tank swap. We’re you able to use the same fuel pump and sending unit from the 26 to the 38? Or do I need to buy a new one that fits with the 38. I’m in the process of buying the parts for my thirsty ass lifted SC Tundra. Thanks

I live in Ca.

 

Welcome to the forum Andrew!

Yeah, you definitely have a thristy beast with the SC. I used the same fuel pump. Just needed the crossmember and fuel tank straps.

 

Sweet man. You have no idea how helpful this thread has been. Thanks for all the info.

 

Very nice truck @SoCalDave I like it. Totally inline with what I am wanting. How is it with 37s and current gearing? What gears do you currently have? If ya wanna answer some fan questions haha

 

Haha, thanks man.

As a DD, its not so bad. Kinda sucks going uphill. The tow button helps, but definitely going to regear with lockers when I can.

 

Thanks brother. Truck looks great
