TAPDH3T's H3T Build

[TAPDH3T]

Look what I found just down the street.. There ain't enough room in this town for two black T Alphas...

Your running 20" wheels right? That might be why because the white one is still running the 16's?

Well I'm talking about the spacing from the fender in the front.. Which I went with a really fat tire so that is probably it...

This SOA should help with some much needed clearance...

Still working on the steps but while doing this I have started other small projects as well.
I have been trying to figure out how to change the orange door panels.. Stain, paint, replace, etc..
My wife found this one day on one of her girly sights..

So I am doing it using the extra material from my seat covers...

We will see how they look in a few hours...

 

[SolidusJ]

[TAPDH3T]

Lmao.. If she gets it I will get it back covered in slob!!!
Yeah I used krylon aerosol stay glue...
All I have to do is glue the panels back on place.. I will prolly run by DOTS in the AM and get there strongest glue to be safe...

DUDE, (TAPD) the tires LOOK SICK!!!! Congrats... How do you like them so far?

I have been out a couple times and LOVE MINE...Even though these only have 2500 miles on them i already know i want bigger. here is what I heard from everyone that runs mud tires around here though... We should rotate the Mud Grapplers tires EVERY oil change if want to get any life out of them. I have heard of guys NOT rotating them and only getting 12,000 miles... :-(

I already set my truck up for that rotation schedule. I see no wear but at what we pay for these beast i would like some miles from them. I would get 60-70K on my original BFG's which was more then i ever got on any truck tire. I remember running 35x15'5s on a Dodge shortbed late 80's and only got about 20K from them.

Also the guy in your area must have a love hate thing since he saw your truck...LOL Nice overall build!!!

Show the door panels please after install...cool idea

 

[TAPDH3T]

So far I love them man!!! They are AWESOME.. At first I had issue with them catching because how wide they are.. It only occurred when I was turning and hit a real hard bump.. Cranked my T bars 2.5 times and issue is gone.. Rides like a champ...
I think the rotation issue of mainly for 2 wd. Since we are 4w all the time I think it will assist with even tread.. Either way I will rotate as needed to get long life.. I also don't do a lot of road driving which will help..

Without further adoo...
BAMmmm

 

[ArtHummer]

Damn. That looks nice!!!. I tired that on my old car and screwed up the panel. Had to get a new one. But I used vinyl instead of fabric. Yours looks great do!!!

 

[RamRod]

Nice!

Can you get a shot from the back seats looking into the front showing off the dash & new door panels?

Diggin the look you got going on there!

[RamRod]

I want to go with a winter digi camo theme on the T one day... That would be the perfect setup

[TAPDH3T]

Well we all know I'm working on gathering parts for my SOA but I'm also workin on two other small projects..

We all remember my sliders?? Well I almost have the first detachable step built.. All I need to do is weld the step on and do a lot of blending with a grinder.. Don't judge now because tomorrows finished product will be beautiful and after paint flawless lmao...

 

[RamRod]

Those should be able to load a gorilla when your done!

Lol got off work late so didn't get finished but got it all welded up, now just got to grind it to one smooth solid piece of sexy lol.. I did put it on and I'm able to jump up and down with my 200lbs self.. So needless to say the work!!!

 

[ABNTROOP]

Bad@ss!

 

[TAPDH3T]

Boom that looks better!!!

 

[TAPDH3T]

Just three more to go!!

This one is not perfect but I have worked the kinks out.. They should look better and better as I build them..

 

[RamRod]

okay that looks way better then I thought they would!

Solid work!

 

[WillieMo]

looks solid... nice work!!!

 

[TAPDH3T]

Man I have way to many projects in the oven right now.. I bet they would get done faster if I did one at a time lmao..

Steps, bed extender mounts, SOA,
And tomorrow I began my journey down to rabbit hole of my offroad trailer build... I'm ecstatic!
