Why I've disappeared lately - Lots of pics

[adventr]

Thanks guys. Still progressing right along. Lots of hours being put in on this stuff!

11 days until we hit the road...




















One of the dually wheels after powdercoating. It's sitting up against some of the 40" trail grapplers for the JK8

 

[Bigunit]

Very nice!

Are you guys going with mechanical or electric cooling [or both] on that 5.9L install on the H1?

 

[High Five H2]

I love the gold/bronze color on the jungle gym on the jeep and the grill on that GMC. This is awesome metal fab work. I used to do that as a living but on spaceships and experimental aircraft.

definitely want to hear more about that. sounds rad.

 

[CaddyStrophic]

Color combo on the Jeep is nice. I didn't like the cream-ish color in the rendering, but the finished product is nasty.

Man , you can do some nice fab work...

 

[JJT]

Looks like the Merryweather Jeep from GTA 5

 

[3Hummers]

I like it.

Got the dually fuel tank designed and cut today. Got it tacked up on the table and our guy started throwing the smack down on it. Pretty overkill for a fuel tank, but what isn't... Lol
10ga 304 stainless steel.

mmmmm weld porn

This shows what it will look like when complete:

Another all nighter trying to get these things finished up. Loading onto a trailer and heading to Vegas on Thursday.

They're coming along, but it's a lot of work...

 

[Chocflip201]

Uhm.... Holy sh*t.

 

[06 H3]

It's beautiful!

 

[Mr_Rich]

That's incredible! I could spend hours to days checking out all the custom features. One of those pickup bed racks would be the ultimate add-on to our 3T's....

 

[adventr]

Few more pics of the rack. Electrical will be finished up tonight, then I can open and close the gate with the roof winch.

Got a couple rotopax water cans mounted on the inside of the rear gate. Rest of the rotopax gear (fuel cans/storage/emergency prep) go on this evening...

 

[Pappibri]

I want...... Thats one sweet rig.... Nice work.:holymoly

 

[SedonaBound]

Great project. Too bad it's a J-J-J-J-J-J...sorry, can't get it out. :wink:

 

[RamRod]

I rarely say this, but that's a fine jeep!
I want to see how that gate opens and closes

 

[Ghostbuster]

Wow awesome work!

Does that gate swing upward?

 

[adventr]

Yeah the rear gate opens upward. Works really well too. I'll try and grab a quick video tonight or tomorrow before we head out.

 

[Kurt]

Which booth are you going to be at? I should be at SEMA on Thursday next week....

 

[adventr]

The Jeep will be displayed in the Rigid Industries booth. The dually will be in the Keg Media booth. Both in the same area of the convention center. Anyone who's going to be there hit me up!

Pulled another all-nighter last night finishing stuff up. About to pass out for a few then hit the road.

 

[adventr]

What a week.... Lots of work, but SEMA was pretty fun overall. Pretty much saw all that I wanted to see within the first couple days. Used the rest of the week to chill out. Lol
The jeep was a hit. Everyone loved it for its functionality. Even 4wheel & offroad magazine posted up about it.

Had 3 photoshoots this morning out in the desert (California). The jeep will be on the cover of 2 different magazines, and will be used in Rigid's advertising.


Here are a few pics:

 

[adventr]

Couple more pics. And one of the back yard of the house we rented. Spent some time relaxing back there...















Still around 1000 miles from home, but should be back tomorrow at some point.
Looking forward to getting back on all of the hummer projects and back to making cool parts!
