ZR2NC'S H3 Alpha Build

[ZR2NC]

I finally got a little time to start on my next project which is a predator style over the hood brush guard.





I still have a few pieces to add and things left to do to it before it's completely done and ready to install. Next up will be rocksliders, a full roof rack, and ucp.

Looks good!

So does that brush guard fold down to allow the hood to come up right?

Yes it folds foward.

Another big update from the past few weeks!
First off I built a roof rack.




Next was USB ports and in cab winch controls in place of the 12v outlets. I also installed a Uniden Bearcat 880 and wireless mic as well.

After that I ditched the rest of the plastic front bumper and factory fogs.





Finally to the latest progress from this past weekend I installed a Android 5.1 head unit and 51w 7" led lights on the pillars.

Made a few more additions to the Alpha! I add a Vlair constant duty onboard air system, also added a blue sea aux fuse box and cleaned up all the wiring from my accessories.









Next up was a Derale Atomic-Cool 13950 auxiliary transmission cooler, it was a very tight fit behind the grill and a good bit of trimming was required.

Do you go through ball joints daily on that thing?

It actually still has the factory ones on there and I've had the 37's on for about 7k miles so far. My torsion bars are also only at 22.75 so that helps keep some stress off them and the CV's

I like the tear drop looking rings on the front. Great looking build!
Just need some HID headlights so you can see down the road.

wow, heck of a build. What more is planned?

Thanks, hopefully I'm either going to be starting on gathering parts to do a SFA or either a custom coilover ifs so I can ditch the torsion bars. If I do the coilover ifs I'll be using the Michigan Metal Works adjustable uppers and get a set of custom lowers from them as well. The coilovers I'll be using will likely be Fox Racing part number 880-02-420(specs Compressed Length: 14.55" Extended Length: 19.94" Length of Travel: 5.39"). The only way I'll be keeping the ifs is dependent upon if/when Outfitter Design starts producing their Dana 44 ifs center section since I'm wanting to regear up to 5.13's.

Gauges on Radio?

How the heck did you get your gauges to read on your radio? Do you have a separate thread for this. I've been researching gauges for weeks and seen nothing like this! Ive got an A-Pillar modified for 2 gauges, but If I don't have to do that I'd rather not.

How did you wire up those winch switches? I have been meaning to do this for like 2 years now and the switches haven't made it out of the box they were shipped in 2 years ago..

I'll try to get you some pics of the wiring on both the switches and from the winch solenoid as well and see if I can draw up a diagram for you.

Small update, built a full skid.

Recent pic!
