Picked up new air filters for the AFE intake today and ordered up PowerStop rotors.

Hoping to make use of the Holiday on Monday to get some stuff installed (Winch and fox 2.0's).

I hope everyone gets to enjoy the long weekend!

 

I really wanted to get some stuff done today, but it’s just too cold here. The garage feels like a meat locker.

And you are made out of meat....SO GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE AND PHOTO-DIARY SOME STUFF THAT WE CAN DROOL OVER.

 

troublemaker. lol

 

Want some of my 71 degrees!!

 

Yes please, better than the 35ish we had here today!

 

Picked up a brand new Hi-lift jack to mount in the bed today. Waiting for our dollar to bounce back a bit and then I'll pull the trigger on builtrightindustries box rack system.

in time...in time.

 

Well crap... I went to install the winch and was pretty much all set and then found out I couldn’t mount one of the charge pipes on the CAC. The BOV hits the winch mount plate. I’ll have to reach out to Full Race and see what they think. It’s the mount they recommend, but they may have used the turbosmart BOV that is a bit smaller.

I shot a PM to @full-race geoff and hopefully he can help out. If not, I'll call the shop later this week to see what we can figure out.

 

Waiting to hear from FR, shot them a email with some pics to look at.

In the meantime I wanted to get at least something done.

Installed new cones on the intake and ordered up a decent first aid kit and winching recovery gear.

Full Race is sending me out a modified elbow to work with the winch mount and the Tial BOV. Looks like they didn't test fit the CAC with the Tial or eBOV elbows to checlk for fitment. So if anyone else is looking at doing this, go with the Turbosmart BOV.

 

Built right industries bed rack system and rear seat latches ordered up.

Decided to take some time off next week to get some stuff done on the truck. I will get some pictures up of all the goodies going in. Full Race CAC elbow and BuiltRightIndustries Bed Rack system should be here by Friday.

I also went and picked up the Power Stop rotors I ordered a while ago and also grabbed a mount and handle holder for the Hi-Lift Jack.

So it may be a bit ambitious, but the goal would be to:
- Install the winch
- Install the Fox 2.0's
- Get an alignment
- Modify bed rack so I can access my 12v/5v outlets
- Install bed rack system
- Mount Jack, Fire Extinguisher, Axe, Hatchet, Sawzall, First Aid Kit and RotoPax Gas can on racks.

 

Ordered up a set of "raptor" grill lights, thanks @rbrown for the info.

Thanks to a clearance sale at a online store, I ended up ordering up everything I need to get a rack installed above the bed. This would be to mount the Roof top tent on top of or bike racks, cargo basket, etc. All Yakima stuff, so should be plenty strong enough for what I need. I doubt I'll see these parts by next week, but fingers crossed.

Also grabbed some Penzoil Platinum to get a oil change done too while I'm at it next week.

 

Full Race custom elbow showed up today, so I took an hour this afternoon to get the winch mount installed to make sure all was good.

Hope to get the winch installed this weekend

Bed Rack Panels also showed up late this afternoon. Things are starting to pile up in the garage and the Wife is asking questions, lol.

 

Sounds like my wife. lol

 

The modern world is tiny. The distance from Jersey to an island in the Caribbean is about 60 milliseconds. Lol

I’m flying out now for two days. Unplanned.

 

Coil-over install may have to wait. We'll see when these show up. I couldn't say no for the price.

I was able to get the winch in tonight. It was a bit of a fight to get the couplers back on the CAC and the winch was a bit larger than the WARN that Full Race used. I had to space up the CAC bracket to clear the free spool lever.

The control box will need some more attention for a proper mount, for now it’s safe and out of the way.

Man that's a tight squeeze! Love the way it's comin together.

I was able to get three of the bed panels installed and the two rear seat latches. I have to modify the one panel so I can still access the PowerPoint. The panels aren’t as big as I had pictured in my head, so we’ll see how much of my gear actually gets mounted to them.

Bed rack system to mount to the rails showed up today. Took the day off tomorrow, so hope to get that installed. I'll also try to get the one bed panel modified and installed. Then I'll start mocking up the tool locations so I can get as much mounted on the panels as possible.

 

If I took a day off when new parts showed up... I'd lose my job.

Wait, I'm self-employed!

 

I was able to wrap up the install today. It was a royal pain to get the plastic bed rail caps off! I also had to remove the Tonnaeu, which is pretty easy.

Drilled, painted (to help prevent rust) and then installed the nut rivets. Then it was just popping the covers back on and bolting the tracks down.

Currently running without the cross bars.

Also had lots of help today

I also was able to get the Starky “Raptor” front lights in. Great kit that’s very well made. I did end up cutting back the ground wire to route it better. Looks great and it may not look like it in the pic, but the colour is bang on.

Looks a lot better than mine for sure
