We have a local guy that is building them about 2 hours south of me, SOB Fabrication. He Has done a couple of customs for my buddies so he is definitely high on the list. I Want a dual swing out for my spare and some Jerry cans in the rear with a rear mounted winch…nothing on the market...
Waiting on a new Sherpa EC roof rack and some other goodies to come in… then I will begin finalizing my water system… lastly I am looking at custom front and rear bumpers hopefully by the end of the year!
Well the suspension is still “under construction” so to speak. My local Shop had a couple issues on the shocks rebuild that were outside of everyone’s control and a couple of additional parts are on back order but they are working through it! Should have that all wrapped by end of next week as...
No harassment at all! If I could ditch work completely and just play with the Raptor life would be amazing haha! unfortunately I have to pay for my obsession! Still hoping to become independently wealthy somehow!
that sucks about the awning. Those Wyoming winds are no joke! Looking forward to...
I wish, but an fortunately it has just been crazy the past few weeks with work and all that is going on in the world. We provide support for disaster and refugee relief so nothing but work, work, work.
I will say that in a couple of weeks I will have a huge update on the truck! Lots of work...
One of the cool things to happen this month was the truck was featured in the Decked BOM!

Sorry for the slow response. Been laid up fighting the flu for over a week!
Looks like the setup worked out great! Anything you would change from this trip?
That looks great! I like that it integrates with the bed cover. I just noticed you were in WY. I grew up in Casper! Where are you headed to this weekend?
I dropped off my iKamper to get sprayed with LineX for some added protection this AM, should pick it up tomorrow or Wednesday. I’ll post up a...
No updates as of now. Just got back from 2 weeks of work travel and getting ready to hit the road again. Hoping to have the shocks done this month but looking unlikely due to travel.
Post some pics of the rack once it’s on!
Local company here in Albuquerque, adaptive vehicle solutions. (AVS) Dom that owns it does a great job fabricating. He did a set for my buddies Power wagon also. I can DM you contact info if you would like?
I would definitely get the 3.0’s tuned to the truck if I went that way as they are traditionally set up for high speed from the factory and I am not running Baja. Although, I am also not crawling the trails in 4 low all the time either, she still stretches her legs every once in a while.
I made...
Option 1 is going to 3” remote reservoir shocks. Really lookinghard at the Icon system with new UCA’s and getting them custom tuned for my use. I already have the Icon rear leaf springs. The sway away shocks from AFE has also caught my attention and I am researching them currently.
Option 2 I am...
It is coming along. I still want to get the full suspension done, selling some other “toys” to free up the cash!
I would not say I am a guru at all, just trying to improve items that fall short after each trip out until it’s done haha. I do a lot of research and pull from the true gurus on other...
Sorry for the slow reply, been super busy at work!
I did get the awning mounted but not the rhino rack as the shipping got messed up and delays due to Covid. I was able to get a 23Zero 270 from CB Adventure supply (amazing company to order from) I used the supplied mounts from 23Zero (which are...
I figure I should update this build thread:
1.Had a local fabricator make me a set of bolt on Rock sliders.
2. added a Midland MTX275 for Comms.
3. scored an amazing deal on a lightly used ARB fridge and a DFG tilt slide with power run to the bed.
4. Waiting on a rhino rack 270 awning to be...
Thanks! The leitner rack is awesome! Did you get the forged or standard ACS?
I have a viair pump that is not mounted just stored. Down the road I would like to get an ARB twin and mount it. Share pics if you get it set up!
My next investment is going to be a Jackery in one of the cubes and...
I have the FSR high country 80. It’s a monster, sleeps 3 of us (2 adults and an 8yo) plus 3 dogs (2 80lb labs and a 20lb spaniel mix) we do have to keep our clothes bag and any “extras” outside of sleeping bags and blankets and the like in the truck while sleeping but we make due 2-3 nights at a...
