Canadian h3t Alpha build

[RamRod]

ME TOO!!

I have some great things (tools) locked up in there that I miss!!

 

[RamRod]

So after some winter storm delays finally I have both my Thor parts beef up plates and the OEM UCP so I hope to get under the truck this weekend and bolt on the Transfer case skid, and if I am lucky figure out a way to mount up the Transmission skid with the all that Rancho stuff in the way!

Wish me luck!

you can weld the OEM UCP onto the "aft bars" or cut out tube and make a custom one...I think I have a thread on that.

So got a 10,000 lb winch for Xmas so that's going to get tucked behind the front bumper when the winch plate arrives

Bit of an update here, I got some presents under the tree this year... who am I kidding Edit:**the T got some presents under the tree this year**

Which consisted of the following:

And last but not least:

Can't wait for a mod day to get all of these parts onto the T!

Nice set of additions... Now you will need to stop and help any car that ends up in a ditch

 

[RamRod]

.... And that happens a lot this time of year up here!

I'll get in some good practise!

Went out in the cold and installed a 2D Maglite on the backside of my center console:

The man in the brown suit dropped two new Rancho rear spring on Friday, got them loaded up and will take them to a local spring shop for an upgrade so they don't flatten out like my current springs!

Man I can't get over to how much arch these news ones have!

Nice, I've had my lift on my h3 since summer time and I'm still sitting at 27.5" inches from the hub. Rancho must of improved on the steel for the springs b/c I tow monthly with my H3 and haven't expected sagging

That is great to hear. I wonder if they have been reading up on the forums...My first set sagged and then the 2nd set I received was supposedly improved but by then I had deavers and then the spring over.

Im glad to hear rancho is stepping up.

Good to know! I sure hope this stays arched longer then these one did... but I guess with the warrenty that they give on this, it isn'y much of an issue $41 for shipping and I have a new set lol

I adapted an ax mount to the bed rail in my T this morning. Went together really well and I am happy with the way it turned out!

 

[RamRod]

After the Ax mount I got working on installing a fuse box to the top of my battery cover

I picked this unit because an LED will light up if a fuse blows so it can be checked with a glance

 

[RamRod]

Lastly I installed a temperature sensor in my tranny before deciding to break for lunch.... Well pre-supper since it was 3pm by this point I hope to get this hooked up and running along with the boost gage before the end of the weekend

 

[RamRod]

Worked into the late hours last night and got the rest of my boost and trans temp gauge installed, I think it looks wicked, but I'll have to learn how the boost gauge reads out because as of right now it doesn't make much sense to me lol... Few wires to tuck away then it's 100% done!

First is the washer I made for the pod to mount to the head liner
Second is the pods mounts up pre-wiring

So finally got around to finding a shop to bend up the tubing for me for my sliders, he is thinking that they will be done by the weekend if the material makes it here in time, if not then Monday Tuesday of next week for sure!

Then I am going to weld it all up paint it and bolt it on!

Can't wait to have this protection on! It should have been one of the first things I did, but I had a few other things to take care of before I got to this.

I'll post pics when they are being put together and of the finished product

 

[silvrzuki77]

About time on the sliders!! Lol

 

[RamRod]

About time on the sliders!! Lol

Way over due!

Yeah the shop that was going to bend up the tubing for me kept saying "call back in a week" or "stop by with the specs on Friday".... Then not be there... That sort of thing..

Finally I found a new shop that would have it bent up in few days! Should have all the bent and cut tube tomorrow! Then it'll be up to me to tack and weld!

 

[RamRod]

some progress on the sliders today:

are those brackets from mayhem metal works?

 

[RamRod]

Yes sir they are, there are a few minor spots that I had to grind down to fit, and I'll update him on that once everything is done and fitted,but other then that they turned out great!

The reason I have his brackets is I convinced him to ship a set up to me since a set of full sliders would cost an arm and a leg!

My total cost so far is just a touch under what a set would have cost me pre-shipping.... So I am happy about that

[kflips]

[RamRod]

Sliders are now connected to my Mayhem Metal works brackets!!!

Whoo! So stoked to get some paint on these bad boys and bolt them on for the last time!!

Here are some pics of them mounted up pre-paint:
