Some more parts showed up for my charging system upgrade, going to attempt to get power steering worked in if I can! I'm really excited to tear into this pproject this winter!

New serpentine conversion brackets, ps pump, mechman alternator bracket and xs power vcm

Oh and the remote I ordered showed up, thought it had a volume knob but turns out it's just a d pad

Nice toys!

Well, it's been a while since I have updated this thread.  Haven't done a ton since last update, but there have definitely been some improvements.

Let's start with something I found pretty hilarious. Got pulled over on the highway last year. Passed a cop who was 3 lanes over from me and he gave me the funniest warning I've ever gotten:

 

Anyway, this springs work consisted of a redesign of the 6th order.

Basically flipped the internals, shrunk front chamber and ports and did some new bracing

Also added quite a bit more screws lol

New front chamber loading wall

Sealed off the cabin much better:

Subs loaded

 

More to come!

Finally ripped out the last piece of the previous owners build

Prepped the roof, 2 layers of vibraflex, a third layer in the middle, 2 big tubes of PL on the top layer (about the size of where the grid of screws is) and a second layer of birch. The second layer isnt PL'd yet because I have some welding plans for the roof yet.  

Everything is together

Did a 32hz burp sealed at the dash, truck off on only caps

It should be even louder now but no time to retest yet

 

finished plastidipping the truck

 

More to come!

[bsneon98]

nice to see you back at it! looks great as always man!

[WalledSonic]

Blacked out truck looks great man.

Thanks guys!

 

I kind of like the raw look of my doors so instead of letting them rust I used clear plastidip

Also did it on the cap bank frame

Added a temporary AGM under the hood. I sold my JY this winter because I never drop voltage low enough use it and there's a slow drain in the truck I haven't had a chance to fix yet. So it was very stressful having such an expensive starting battery that needed to be on a charger 24/7 if the truck was sitting, because without a charger, it would drain in like a week of sitting and could destroy the battery.

 

Got some new DC decals made up too

Notice the #dcballslap above the passenger door?  Project Flexington inspired DC Audio to make those, figured it was fitting lol.  I'll have to see if I can dig up the screenshot of how that came about, it was rather entertaining.

 

Now onto the post Slamology 2018 pictures:

Went through and did a valve adjustment and carb tune up. Runs great again

Here's a little sneak peak at what I'll be posting next and currently still working on:
