Sangi's Build Tread

[Sangi]

I’m diggin the wrap on the roof/tailgate! Did you do it yourself?

Gods no. Had a recommended shop do it for me. Not that talented yet.

I hear ya. I’m thinking of attempting to wrap my side mirrors. That’s about the extent I’m willing to go at this point.

I say try it yourself! From what I hear its not particularly hard per se, it just requires patience and time. The colors parts of the mirrors pop off easy, and you wouldn't use a lot of wrao material.

On board air. Getting a small arb twin compressor soon

Oh nice! we need that in the abbreviation thread lol. Totally went over my head.

Do it yourself. I did my hood just recently, worked out great. Need a heat gun, spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap, and a little patience...and willingness to put up with a little crows foot here and there.

Part 1 of solar, done!

Very nice. Feel durable? Walnut or branch dropping going to send it to the solar panel grave?

Seems nice and durable. I was being super careful with moving it around and during installation. But the covering of the cells seems like it'll hold for a while.

Whole bunch of meso goodies the other day! Map lights v2 (dual color), handle covers and a gasshole! Also mounted my maxxtraxx to the side of the cbi, finally. I liked them on the roof, but they had to come down for the solar panel.

Installed @ragofabrication console molle panels the other day. Finally got a good looking mount for my CB. (It was on a ram cell phone mount that bolted into the passenger seat). Solid, easy to install and looks fantastic!

Thanks! Lotta time and effort spent so far. Don't think I'm stopping anytime soon!

 

[Sangi]

Installed a dashcam, finally! One of the mods that's been on my list for years. Also picked up a used and bruised relentless fabrication front skidplate for a deal I couldn't pass up. And ordered my expedition essentials dual arb cubby mount for the bed!

Dug up this old video where I was creepin on @Tyler
Your truck looks so naked without your camper, I'm so used to seeing it on!

I like the look of not having a camper.

Fun little weekend. It was nice enough outside (tropical 36) so I was able to get some much needed tlc done to the truck. Needed some motivation
-Removed seats and did a nice interior detail

-Took apart my center console and scrubbed it down good.

-changed Cabin air filter

-swapped my air filter to a pro filter

-new reverse lights from diesel leds. Shits bright af, I love it

-Also rotated my tires and filled them up to proper air.
All in all, even this little bit made me feel awesome after a rough winter and being very unmotivated. I have a huge list of tlc, mods and cleaning I wanna do when it gets warmer out. Even if it was placebo, the truck is driving much better!

Edit: damn just noticed my trucks got the taco lean haaaard in that last pic. Gotta add that to the list of shit to fix.

Milestone! Just short of 5 years.

mine is approaching quickly as well

Big weekend. Much needed motivation. Arb dual install with @ExpeditionEssentials cubby mount courtesy of runnin4tacos. Install was a breeze (with some help). Then didn't an oil change and all 4 brakes for the upcoming summer. If I still have time I'll try and get my skidplate painted and mounted as well.

 

[Sangi]

It's the little things. Blacked out start button ring from Meso. Gunna finish up and get rid of all this ugh chrome

 

[Sangi]

Meso hex rack and icon delta Ucas installed this weekend! Also, got punk'd.

Slow and steady updates. Put on new Falken wildpeaks (285/70/17s), fixed my dual compressor that's been giving me some issues, and in the process of switching out all my speakers for kickers.
Also in the process of planning/setting up my entire solar setup, along with a second battery and I'm going to customize a wiring harness for all my auxiliary systems.

 

[Sangi]

Installed a set of kickers on all 4 corners finally for some kind of audio upgrade.

 

[Dirtboy2009]

What an incredible transformation! Great work.

 

[Sangi]

I took all my gear and camping stuff off for the winter,

then impulse bought a cap. It's black but it works with the theme.

Now I gotta look at selling a bunch of stuff off and re-thinking my build a little bit. Stoked!

 

[Sangi]

Also went on my first real winter camping trip. Was down in the teens, didn't think I was prepared enough but I made it through alive. As much as I love my Yakima skyrise, it's definitely not a winter tent.

Yea, I'm not going to be doing it again anytime soon unless I upgrade my tent. I have t-shirts that are thicker than the sides of the Skyrise lmao
