Getting there now!
Snorkel is on and done, by the way I don't like notching my new snorkel for the power antenna but hey I did it and it is done. Just don't understand why it can't be made for our market instead of just RHD. Front end is all rebuilt on the truck now too. New XS Power batteries fitted, they rock! I am just about down to little things such as;
-Elevate the fridge and slide. Mount it up.
-Fit the two front skid plates.
-Configure my roof rack and fit a few things to it like fishing rod holder and my Roadshower.
-Install LED headlights that just showed up today after 6-weeks.
-And geez I am drawing a blank on the rest, just little stuff.
A few things will have to be dealt with on the road like getting a mount for my Garmin GPS.
I think I mentioned it already but if not, Georg and Ward at Valley Hybrids and Cruiser Brothers have graciously sponsored me. I am stopping into the Valley Hybrids shop the weekend of January 7th to get Harrop e-lockers installed and a brake upgrade installed as well. We are also going to tear down my winch at that time since I don't have time right now plus getting my Slee bumper off by myself is a chore.
I just finished up rebuilding the front end, new wheel bearings and CV boots. My boots were leaking and had made a huge mess under the front of my truck. All cleaned up now and ready to put the tires on. Speaking of tires, I am rotating, haven't done that since I got the BFGs last July. The Cruiser is pretty ready to rock now, all fluids changed, everything lubed up and greased. The 2864 coils are just what I needed for all this weight too, I think I can get away with no air bags, hope so or I will have to do those at Valley Hybrids as well. I think Ia m good though, the 2864s are nice and stiff and rated at 800lbs over GVW which pushes me to over 7,000lbs easy. The truck has come a long ways in the last six months and I am getting pretty happy with it. But man I am getting tired of working on it!
Kurt and Cruiser Outfitters is setting me up with the spare parts I need. I am not carrying a ton of repair parts but enough to save me in a time of need.
Love my new stereo by the way, one of the best upgrades I have done yet but man was the install nasty! I went the hard route on it, all DIY rather than buying adapters and such. Still need to add a din cubby since I went single din head unit but it sounds awesome and I am stoked on it.
Once I hit Mexico I am going to do a video of the truck, how it is set up and why. I will post the video here.
Cheers
