I do have a tiny bit of wind noise, but nothing my toyo m/t's wont drown out.

I love the rack. Thank you for updating with photos of your build process. Following cummins forum and the other ram sites, you see a few nice trucks and alot of crap builds with huge un useable lifts and giant brostance wheels and rubber band tires.

Thanks, I'd rather have the function side of things, over form.

Worked on my battery box. My two pc1200s tested bad, so they gave me two new ones under warranty.

I decided I can use the existing spare tire holder to mount my battery box, the original location I chose was going to get crashed by the rear track bar. Going to cut the nuts off the bottom, shave it flat, then bolt the box to it.

The revised box. Probably going to be terminal up, but I'm cutting the cover to fit either way.

Mocking up the box

Some welds

The completed box

Painted it tonight, will install tomorrow, and try to run the power to them as well.

Worked on quad batteries today while my coworker wired the lights on my rack.

Cut and Ground the welded nuts on the factory spare tire holder.

Drilled holes through the plate, bolted box to plate.

Insert batteries

Install cover

I'm wiring everything with 1/0, we have it by the spool here, and we have these ************ cable ends that are effortless.

Chuck cable end in vice.

Apply torch heat, it melts solder and flux which are inside the cable end. Insert stripped wire.

Heat shrink ends and voilà.

Got all the negatives made, and the parallel 12v. Still need to run cable to the breakers and solenoid.

Worked on the truck for about an hour today, wasnt feeling like staying late.

Remounted my co2 tank and mounted a j box for the switches for the kc cyclone and 20" light bar.

J box riveted to waterjetted 6061 .250 plate, riv nut installed on bed, wiring ran to back of j box.

Made a switch plate to put inside for the switches

Looking good.
I like those Quick Fusion cable ends,thanks.I just watched the youtube instructional...looks like even I can do it.
I was hoping there was a way to use the stock spare tire carrier bolts to mount a battery as I don't know if I want to cut that off.

 

[Trophycummins]

There is, but it would hang an inch lower since those welded nuts stick out so far.

Kings installed, 37s back on, thuren rear susp set up. Thuren front end with carli track bar thats got to go.

Totally happy with my new suspension, rides great. Im guessing due to my COG the tail wags a bit. Ill either build my own track bar for the rear or get a carli drop bracket.


Rear coming together

Rear droop

Drooped out next to my 6'1" coworker.

Front coming together

Front complete

Stance

Why do you want to switch out the Carli front track bar? What are you going with and why. I have the Synergy and the only issue I have is that it is the old bushing design and the adjuster sleeve became tough to turn as if it was beginning to gall. That could have very well been my fault somehow. I can say that the v1 poly bushings do not hold up to death shake. Driving a truck with a missing track bar bushing is unnerving.

The carli bar has an fk uniball on one side and a johnny joint on the other.

The uniball went bad at 5500 in, then again 8000 miles in and makes a creaking noise.

Im getting thurens bar which has a bushing instead, just preference.
