P1000 Cumminspusher-the New Ride

[Eltobgi]

What is that? The secondary power source?

1200 watt super capacitor. I had it running all of the accessories worked pretty well actually. But I'm tired of the lights dimming with bass hits (maybe 500 rms too much) so I'm pulling it out running my standard dual battery and tagging directly to the amp. Need tunes but it looks cheesy to when anything dims. It'll be a great bump for the winch as well. But dammit I decided to clean things up and add a Bluetooth light controller that I bought forever ago for some of the lighting. It's a mess before it gets better! I REALLY miss the bigger stator that was in the red one.

Here is a shot to show you rear axle angleView attachment 21083

Does the axel angle feel good? Can you lower the system?

 

[Eltobgi]

Not sure yet on whether the axle angle feels good. My only test was jumping on the rear receiver and checking to see if it still fit in the garage, but @Delton can probably jump in here. No, you can not Lower the system from what I can tell. The brackets simply move the upper shock mount to an outer position.

 

[Eltobgi]

All or nothing! I'm hoping I can drop the suspension sone day for shocks but I like what was said about the high lift sounds like us. I hope it's not less stable as Delton said

if it is it is reason to replace rims and tires for wider! I also like the idea of running same size tire and rim all around! When I do that I will consider the spare tire mount!

That rear angle is steep! I measured it once and it was somewhere around 32 or 34 degrees. Haven't had any problems with CV joints though. I've probably got 600 or so miles on it.

I do like the idea of running one size with rear spacers

Good enough! Thank you guys for helping to make me comfortable. Nice to hear how much Delton loves his and damn you Eltobi for making me do this! Stage 3 I guess. Can't wait to have skids again the underside is so damaged!

Just replaced factory skids, between running around getting parts and buddies interrupting the project I have got it complete this much...
Still have to add drain holes, trim edges, add a front piece, (considering adding side wings for more protection) this is the rear looking forward!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Really nice work you've always impressed me! How much time do you have in that? Were you able to trace a little off of factory? I really coinsidered doing that we had to do something immediately! This is just some of the damage from the woods and she's only a couple months old. I'm pretty sure we get deep. I normally talk about something for a bit then fire the gun and all the talk about skids made me realize how important it is. Sss looks like a good system but I would be happy with anything. We had skids on the red one but my dumb ass forgot to pull them!

 

[Eltobgi]

Thanks for the compliments! I'm not half as skilled as you and some of the guys in here, but give me a little duck tape and chicken wire and I'll get'er done!
Definitely looks like the skids are going to money well spent! Mine looks similar with dents all over! Used @joeymt33 's trick to get the bend for the rear toward the hitch! Used the old skid as template for rear section, marked holes, measured to front of frame, and cut to length, put skid in place using rear holes, then measured and marked hole location to be drilled, used a scrap board as spacer and drilled remaining front holes, and added bolts, center front spacer roughly 5/8 above skid (used plastic flat spacers for this!) used 1 1/4" 6mm bolt here which was more than long enough. Going to research best install for side sections!

Bulls*** I've seen your work! You do excellent

When do you know it's time to swap out your 12 sub? This is when. Still working but it's not crisp like it was. Good thing I had a pair!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Something to be said about old Fosgate amps as well! When the top of the speaker let loose it allowed water into the box. The amp sits at bottle and there was an inch Idaho clay and water surrounding the amp. Still works great! Omg! Newer amps just don't take that.

Here's after I poured the water out

Hey CP, a guy once told me you can use a soldering gun to fix that hole in the floor and it worked!!

Any ideas on what to do to keep it from happening again? I was thinking maybe something like flexseal to waterproof? Not sure if it would effect sound quality. I am sure there is a product out there!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Well that speaker has been in 3 different rigs and has been great. What happened this time is icovered the area up under the seat so it doesn't get washed and sprayed off. It was fine when I insulated now a month later done. I don't like the idea of not being able to clean in there so I won't run the cover again. I'll do a fan later

It does buddy if I had the other piece!

Damn it anyways!!

 

[Delton]

I put skid on before I could do much damage to the underside. But I bet I can match just about anyone with wheel damage lol. Poor things, you'd never know they were just a few months old lol.

@Delton I might have you beat on wheel and tire damage.
