Magnet mount on the dash for the long road trips and when I go through the drive thru ATM. Otherwise it is an AIWB.

IIRC, the rear had 9 clicks of adjustment. When the truck was fully loaded on the trip, (8400+ gvw) I had the adjusters to their maximum dampened setting (fronts were on 3). When the truck is light, I have the rears set on 1 or 2.

Thank you. One of the lighting additions was LED lights under the hood just in case. During the duel battery tray building, I hung a four foot LED shop light under the hood so I could see what I was doing. These two strips light it up as well, if not better.

So, everything that I have posted was completed before I went to Baja in November of '17 for the 50th anniversary of the Baja 1000. The truck and all of the mods worked great in support of the Fire Guys Racing Jeepspeed 1788. The only things that were not used (thankfully) were the winch...

Hey darthyota, here is the link for the tank that I bought: https://www.jmesales.com/38-gallon-dot-aluminum-rectangular-transfer-tank/ It is a DOT Certified for Gas, Diesel, Methanol, Kerosene, Aviation fuel and other liquids. ...... as it is delivered..... just sayin'... for further...

The last major addition before I left for the Baja 1000 trip was the addition of fuel transfer tank. This one holds 38 gallons and takes up about 9 inches of bed space. Somehow, it magically grew new mounting feet, an alternate pump mount, non-venting filler cap and vent bungs fitted with...

The compressor is mounted on the passenger side of the bed. Since this pic was taken, I have put in a steel braided hose to t takes the heat generated by the compressor. The 7 gallon receiver is mounted under the bed, where the OEM spare tire was hung and there are quick connect fittings on...

The last interior panel holds the pressure gauge for the air system and the regulators for the air bags in the rear suspension, dimmer for the list toggle switches, 2 spare switches and a jack for a pendant switch to turn on all auxiliary lights at once (in case something goes bump in the...

Thanks allredchad. The GPS, Tuner, winch controls, and a few more switches needed some real estate, so the center dash pod was fabbed. The Big Red Button is to momentarily turn on all forward facing lighting, just in case oncoming traffic refuses to dim their lights or someone needs a little...

I like the direction you are heading with this. Adjustable shock + air bags are a winning combination.

Switch. Lots of switches. The list of things to turn on & off is long. Bumper flood lights Bumper light bar Rack light bars Cornering lights Driver side work lights Pass side work lights Rear bumper lights Rear work lights Rear amber and blue (don't f'n hit me) lights Bed down lights Under...

I knew I wanted the fuse blocks and relays protected & easily accessible. To me, this meant putting them in the cab and the best real estate I could find was the glove box. So after relocating the owner's manual and sawing off the part that would hold your gloves, I made an aluminum plate to...

So the electrical system.... so many lights, switches, accessories, wires, fuses, relays and on and on and on.... This was by far the most time consuming part of the project. By the time I had finished it (mostly, there are a few things to finish, still) I was pretty sure that I have some...

Drive train improvements consist of Eaton TrueTrac differentials in the rear and front and Motive 4.10 gears (from 3.73s). I had this work done by Libson Twin Cities in Minneapolis. I think that their pricing was reasonable and their customer service has been good. If you need drive train...

The last details of the chase rack were fire extinguisher, Maxtrax, shovel, and wheel mounting as well as quick connect air fittings to plug in an air hose. The Maxtrax mount is welded to the bottom of the cargo deck and incorporates a 5/8" pin that has a 3/8" cross hole for a pad lock. remove...

Glad to help / advise / spend your money. :grinning:

Hello and chiming in from South Minneapolis. My build was for chasing on the Baja 1000 this year, but many of the elements cross over to overlanding. So I have an overland rig now, too.

And I just saw your truck is a '10. Mine is a '07. This may have been totally useless information to you. Sorry.

Oh, you also have to relocate the vacuum reservoir for you 4wd system, modify the solenoid mounting bracket and learn to swear like a sailor.

Yes, I have done it. I will be putting some info in my build thread but I'll cover it here as well. Let me start by saying, this was not a weekend project. As with most custom fab projects, it probably took 3x as long as I thought it would (plan accordingly for the amount of beer required)...
