I saw the updates on pirate the other day glad you got that tire carrier back!! After watching your videos and hearing your v8 and being so jealous I have finally made the plunge and picked up a motor

 

Thanks! Yea, that was some drama. Oh well though. Live some and learn some.

Awesome, glad to hear you're going to take the plunge. If I may, I totally recommend not skimping on the headers. Make sure they are a thick flange and are ceramic coated. Also, be sure to upgrade your radiator. You can use a Corvette radiator. But I'd recommend an all aluminum variant built specifically for the swap.

 

All cleaned up


New Warn wireless winch controller for my new 12k Smittybilt X2O, and new Plasma rope.

 

I've been considering picking up a wireless controller myself. Keep us updated how you like it please.

 

 

Some one has forgotten to turn the fan on in the past!!

 

Haha. Indeed. Many times actually

 

Been starting to seriously think about a total gut of the interior of Pocket Rocket here. I want to line the whole floor with polyurethane bed liner. I have some 4 point harness race buckets for up front with good bolsters to keep me planted.

But the big deal, will be the complete removal of the entire dash and all the wiring in the whole rig. I want to build an all aluminum dash the way I want it. Have all my guages done where I want and all the switches done right. Should be a very interesting, and very painstaking project.

I am in the middle of selling my house with a badass shop (last piece of my divorce from a year ago). So, this project may have to wait till I move into whatever place I get.

The factory wiring that is left is an absolute joke. I hate it. I have nothing but massive issues everywhere. I plan on keeping power windows and sun roof. But, aside of that, everything else will be my own wiring. No more BCM. Well, Ill probably keep most the wiring for the brake lights. I dont have the factory headlights or turns anymore. I just broke the whole turn signal lever completely off the column last time home. Pissed me off beyond belief lol.

Been looking at new Painless kits and some stuff from 12voltguy.com (his stuff is absolutely amazing if you were wondering).

Anyone have any pictures to get me motivated?

 

 

I'm so jealous of your wheeling spots!
