Squall Line's Frontier build

[Squall Line]

This is partially a copy and paste from club frontier, but I have added the fridge and winch line install. These were completed two weeks back.

Total Chaos upper control arms
Radflo front coilovers; 3"lift and the heavier springs
Sway a way rear resi struts
PRG adjustable shackles
Deaver add a leaf
DIY 2" Body Lift
Procomp MT 285/75/16 / Procomp 7089 in 16x8
Shrock front bumper
Superwinch EP9 winch
Viking delrin rollers and 3/8" winch line
In-cab winch wiring with arming switch for both inside/ outside
Cobra cb with radio shack whip antenna
Notched fenders
Relocated body wiring harness
Engel MR040 fridge

In a few of the pictures, I had the Maxxis Bighorns in 255/85/16 prior to the body lift. Future plans call for building sliders and a rear bumper. A rtt is in the future plan, but the rig dose just fine with ground camping for now.I am considering dropping the body lift, and getting a full replacement leaf pack. I am still undecided on which set of tires I would like to run long term. Aesthetically, I like the procomps, and I have a full set with a spare. The 255s are possibly more economical, but only a marginal difference. I do think they are more in line with overlanding, however (less noise and rubbing in extreme flex). I need to do some back to back tests on fuel economy...



the solenoid wiring had to be extended for the winch plug/ in-cab wiring

prior to body lift and notching, rubbing was extreme.

In the truck. The carrier is notched on the left end for the power plugs.

Viking synthetic winch line and delrin rollers.
Here is the 80' of 3/8" line going on. I painted the fairlead with plastikote spray on bedliner. If you look closely, the area I masked off is visible. I choose to leave the friction surface on the rollers bare for longevity concerns. I have a 3/8", 50' extension as well.


fresh from sierra


part of the reason for the upgrade-- stock roller damaged after a severe side pull to fix bad decision making...

AT fuel can mounts
I finally got these mounted up. It involved drilling two more holes in the mount. I decided on this location based on minimizing bed space lost, and due to the hump on the front drivers side bed for the fuel filler. I am planning on building a box to mount the second battery under the passenger side rack.





More to follow.I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
