alcoolaid's 2017 Raptor - Weekend Warrior

[alcoolaid]

Stopped by my friends local speed shop, The Speed Syndicate, to get my wheels mounted.

Before




After












Big tires never balance nicely and need tons of weights




This got tiring quick... 24 bolts per wheel

Been raining a lot in Vancouver recently and had to travel for work so there wasn't a lot of updating to do but got some more stuff done!

S2 Pro - > Squadron Pro Driving Combo -> Squadron Pro Spot



Got my @BuiltRight side panels installed





Stuck on some of the @BuiltRight velcro panels. Will fill these up later.



The start of the dual battery wiring...



Got some 2 awg wire, 2 awg 3/8" lugs and 2 awg 1/4" lugs. Help to have the right tools!







This is where I chose to ground my second battery



The worst/hardest part of the job.. feeding wire through the damn firewall grommet



Just enough space for some 2 awg wire





Some anderson connectors for quick removal of the battery setup when required

Bracket for Blue Sea ML-ACR and 150A breaker. I just drilled 4 holes through the bracket and battery box and used 1/4" hardware to secure it. Solid enough for what its doing.



Everything bolted on



All wired up. Also pictured is @SDHQ Switch Pros SP-9100 mount.



Gonna test out this 30" rear chase light bar from amazon. $90! Tent blocks the 3rd brake light so I thought this would help visibility.



Modifying the battery box



Installed with ML-ACR remote switch



Slowly buttoning everything up over time. Won't finalize the wiring for the SP9100 outputs until I get my S1 reverse light kit and a-pillar mount lights in.



Change in topic, made a mount for my waterport



It flexed the side rails when full of water so I came up with a cheap solution that works better that I could have imagined lol



Feeling overland as f**k!





11lb propane tank mounted with quick fist XL



Axe and poop shovel mounted. Waiting on 3" quick fists for fire extinguisher

Truck looks good! Nice to see someone else in the lower mainland who actually uses their truck.
Keep it up

You still happy with the KB voodoo rack? About to pull the trigger.

Very happy with it. In Moab right now and it handled jumps no problem. Tent and 6 gallons of fuel, 5 gallons of water, traction boards mounted on it.

+1 following. Great thread and great build! Just got a 2020 SCREW. Getting the Pace-Edwards full electric with rack options installed in a week. I’m glad I went with that looking at your build. Keep up the post!!
