Mr DeeBeez Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Got everything vacuumed out and cleaned up. Still had a half hour of daylight left, so i figured I’d start building right away! Not much but got some pieces cut to be bolted down to start to build off of. 1 Quote Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Made some more progress. It’s not all glued in but that’s roughly how the floor of the wall will be. I took some vacation from work so I’ll be working on it all day tomorrow. Hope to get the floor all done and start on the sides and top. Its coming together a lot faster than I thought. Really excited to get this done working in the winter sucks. But it has been in the 30’s here all week so not too bad. Got some nice lights to work with when it’s dark. Don’t mind the shitty pics. Phone sucks taking pics at night. 1 Quote Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Small update. Got the sides cut and glued together. Working on figuring out how I want to do the roof. Either a wood roof and then attach sides to that, or just a standard double layer top to the wall. 1 Quote Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I also installed a set of helper springs to help handle the weight. One set installed. Have another set to install if I need it. Super easy to do I was surprised.

Excited for the updates man. 2 Quote Sitting around waiting to be installed: 4 FI X 10 270 CES alt D3400/73ah lithium AA 3800.1 (2) AA 75.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Progress has been slow with the cold weather finally setting in. Was able to use a small propane heater inside my truck to warm it up enough to start my wood roof. First layer is 1/2” mdf. Second layer is 3/4 mdf. 3rd layer will either be 3/4 or 2 layers of 1/2”. So roof will end up being between 2 and 2.25” thick. Once the wood roof is all done I’ll be able to get the sides permanently mounted and things should start moving pretty quickly after that.

Mr DeeBeez Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Been a while since I updated. Been dealing with either -50° Weather or 3 feet of snow fall. So I haven’t done much to it in the last month. Got the wood roof finished. Final thickness is 2.25” thick. Then got the sides glued into place and connected to the roof with 45’s. Still a lot of work to be done, but the next step will be a second layer of 45° on top, attach the back sides, then work on fiberglassing over the wheel wells. 2 1 Quote Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
