[Willman]

When it was young..........:av-7:

Thanks Wil for taking us for a great ride!!!!.....I'm sure the story does not stop here.........

Next is finishing up the drawer system. This is what is left to do on it:

1. Finish the Herculiner on the sides and interior
2. Install and plumb the Extremeaire and Tank
3. install the water and shower system and components
4. Screw on lids and mount MIL aircraft tie downs
5. Lighting system for Can-Back
6. 110 system (outlets and wring)

I also need to finish the rear bumper... This is what is left:

1. 255 spare... should be in 2 weeks... D'oh!
2. Wire the ORO LitePLATE into system
3. Wire in the hitch plugs
4. Rear view camera installation
5. Aux work light
6. Powder coat?

Once the front bumper comes....

1. Install Winch and cable.... just added a Viking rock guard so I need to re-spool and install.
2. In-cab winch controller... I may omit pending the performance of the wireless controller
3. install LightForces and switch

Other items in the works...

1. Self-spotting camera system
2. Rear shocks... I got Scott's old set, but they were too short... Went with another set from a SAS conversion from the /\ mod.
3. Eezi-Awn Lighting / Eezi-Awn Mods
4. Aux Fuel
5. CarPC
6. Front Locker
7. Under Body protection (I'm jealous of FlyingWen's Xterra!)
8. Seating
9. Solar Power
10. Communication (2M)

Hmmmm I don't think I will ever get 100% but at least it is enjoyable!

That looks awesome Wil - nice job. I too like those new graphics. I like that curved Lightforce decal on the fender too. I vote "yes" for the powdercoat on the bumper.

Money tree needs some sun and rain for a healthy growth spurt...

Thanks, Nope no front locker.... My money tree died, and has only been producing pennies lately. I would love one. Did you get your kinks worked out on yours?

It operates correctly but I'm still working out the kinks. Picked up a new oil seal last night and I'll be replacing it on the weekend. I'll update the post.

Cheers :beer:,

Wil,

How about a better pic of the CanBack? I want one so bad. I will probably get one when I can but other stuff is on the front burner now. I need new tires soon, I want a 2M and I need a job or GPS coordinates to you money tree and some night vision goggles for the raid!

Anyway, you truck is looking super nice.

Wil,

Are you going to put a light system INSIDE the Eezi Awn? That should be really interesting. I stole an idea from someone and put a "dot" type light to light up underneath the tent, and that works really good. Just make sure you mount it when the ladder is closed.

Also, it looks as though you will need the ladder extension now.:hehe:








:suning:

Man Wil, your set-up is looking great! :26_34_3:

 

[flyingwil]

Wil,

Are you going to put a light system INSIDE the Eezi Awn?

That is the plan... I should be able to use the same system to light under the can-back... in theory.

Huh? I guess I need to see the pic (blocked by the firewall)... I have the DO frame reinforcements if that is what you are after...

My bad.....i must be getting old.......

You know that would be sweet to add to your mod thread.......On the first page a updated list on all your mods on your rig to help guys like me.........Plus it is sweet to see all your mods and plan out what's next for you ride.....

Just my 2 cents.....

Keep up the great work Wil!!!

 

[flyingwil]

No worries Nic...

I never took pics of it and posted it up though... they are the ones with all the holes from Demello...

Needed some minor trimming to fit the DC, but fit perfectly. then painted up with some Eastwood Chassis paint.

*Anxiously awaiting the pictures of the drawers and these C-130 tie downs!*

I'll have pics up late tomorrow... it got to dark when I realized I hadn't taken the pics!

EDIT:

Ran out of Batteries... FlyingBaby is picture demanding!!!! Sorry....

I only got one pic of part of the pile-o-parts to install:

 

[flyingwil]

Just re-read this and I forgot to take pics of the tie downs!

Here is some more of the CBI rear swing out bumper:

Upcoming for the rear:

• 255 Spare (finally have it... need to mount on rim... I have 2 extra OEM rims)
• LightForce Stubby Work Lamp
• Rear Camera
• Stove Shelf
• MMMMM dont think much more would fit

Also had to take this pic... this is from the day it was installed:

Got an update on the front bumper, and they are mocking up the prototype. It looks sweet. I guess good things come to those who wait.
