Chucked on a new set BFG's 305/70-33" tyres,they were too wide for the standard rims,so bought rims aswell..



Wanted to put a 4" inch under it,but because of this NANNY country i put 2.5" pro comp leveling kit under it,removed the factory 2" rear bump and put in 4" bump stop in the rear.


Because the tyres on the new rims where sticking out 2"s from the guards i needed flares,was gunna set of new bushwackers from the states (too fekkin dear here)mrs said ring the wreckers,i said "yer right the wreckers gunna have a set of FOUR flares intact on a truck "

She said bloody ring em,so i did,you wouldnt beleive it he had just come back from canada with a couple of containers of parts and found a BLACK F250 that had hit a concrete barrier and flipped on its roof and the flares were unscathed,my jaw dropped when he said yes i have a set here and there black,so @ mach3 i was over there (an hours drive) and got em for $350, so i banged them on aswell,wot do ya think.


Next project was to build a roof console and built a computer to go in it.


The 2 guages are for my 2 spare deep cycle batteries.
A fan either side 1 sucking air in the other blowing air out keeping the PC cool

Next was 10" screen in the dash

Running centrafuse on the PC, it controls everything..

Nex project is my exhaust ..

 

Oh! Very sweet looking truck man and nice job on the PC though I would go solid state as these are 3/4 ton trucks and a bit bouncy but may i ask what monitor you used and how you mounted it? I would like to do the same thing in my truck just haven't had the time, money and haven't decided how i want to go about doing it.

 

Sweet looking rig...................I am lovin' the chrome trim on the bushwacker did you do that or did they come that way? oh ya and the computer it very trick.

 

just a warning those mud terrains are gunna ride like a 2 horse wagon once they get broke in pretty good cause im runnin same size you are same tire and it rides terrible

 

I like the new shoes and flares. I had to stare at your AC **** switches for a second before I figured out what you did there.

The computer install looks nice. What are you going to use it for? Got it wired for cellular internet?

 

Look's good m8, let's us know how to mudders hold up!

 

Yer im def getting SSD,but the size i want they asking drug money prices.

Same model as this one, bought mine from here.

i pulled the frame off it and just mounted the screen its self,it took me 3 days to build up the courage,i just removed some off the plastic behind the dash face so the screen sat flush up against the dash face then made up couple of little brackets to hold it there..

 

Yer i puchased the chrome add ons from the same guy and wacked em on meself ..

 

Ok we'll see what happens,im coopers man,but when they get down to the last 25% they terrible on the wet black top,and i also almost bought a set off Mickey thomsons MTZ's,but a lot of complaints about them chipping badly on the rocks..

 

Ya reckon you did some staring,crikey i stared at it for 3 days wondering were to put the controls

Yer im running 3G mobile internet and also wireless LAN..

Ive also got Official OziExplorer Web Site - GPS Mapping Software for Tracking and Navigation. Supports Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance and GPS running on it also mate,fekkin good fun oh and about 1000 songs and 10 movies ..

 

love the computer, what are you running for a power supply? any links to the centrafuse stuff or is it the centrafuse carputer site? just clarifying.

 

cant you jsut run the computer off the vehicle 12v and have no power supply since you wouldnt need to convert 12 v to 120 ac to 12 v ?

 

b-uno, its not quite that simple as there are 20 some on different connectors on the motherboard powersupply plug and each of those are negative postive and range between 3v/5v/12v usually, its been a very long time since i was looking into building a carputer but the idea is there that all you would need would be 3 main legs of 12v then run full 12v where its needed and then use the neccessary resistors for 3v and 5v of the other two legs.

 

I have looked into building a machine for my truck as well and in regards to the power supply, there are 12v power supplies that will clean the power and supply the needed 5 and 3.3v that the motherboard will need to function and the power supplies have some pretty neet options like delayed on/off and other things.
