Project Great White

[McFizzl]

Had a few people ask what was my goal in the end. Well I haven't ever really just put my plans out there. I need some suggestions on things i should do different or add to my list.

- 6 Inch RCX lift
- 20 inch Rockstar XD Rims
- 35 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers
- Tactical front bumper with winch and aux lighting
- Tactical rear bumper with spare tire mount
- Train horn w/ onboard air supply
- Possibly a water tank with a pump for water on demand
- Loud exhaust with dual 4 inch chrome tips angled out the rear
- LED tails, front park and turns, projectors with 6K HIDs
- Offroad basket with more lighting for the front and rears that come on with the reverse lights
- Optima Red top to handle this power and maybe bigger alternator
- K&N Intake
- Maybe some long tubes
- Rock rails that double as steps
- Denali Console with some aftermarket racing style seats
- Possible regear to 4.10s when i add a rear locker

Thats about all I can think of right now. Sure it will be a couple grand but over the course of a year it wont be too overwhelming. My truck has too high of miles for anyone to want it even though its in amazing condition. Im open to all ideas because I havent started the build yet. Im just stealing ideas from JK jeep forums right now.

Get the XD Rockstar 2's the First gen are Played out IMO. can't wait to see it come together man

I still like 1st Gen Rockstars..if YOU LIKE THEM GET THEM...played out bc they look good!

Ditch the Optima for a Sears DieHard Platnium which is a Odyssey Rebrand with 8 yr guarantee.

Idk about the Rockstars...too "daddy bought my rims for me". All I ever see em on is stupid college kids and their mall cruisers that mom and dad took out a second mortgage to pay for. I want wheels that look mean. Steel. Soft 8's maybe. or 8 lug adapters and run heavy duty wheels.

Racing seats in an off road truck is a bad idea. Get suspension seats. Definitely get a bigger alternator, and ditch the optima idea, they are notoriously bad.

I want some seats that hold you in them. These stock seats dont hold me in when im going around corners

I dont have any pics yet. Thats just my projected list. Only thing I have done to the truck is cranked the keys and blocked the rear and added 265/75 all terrains all around.

You are going to want something that holds you in and moves with you, going up and down over bumps in an off road vehicle with standard race type seats with no give is not fun.

 

[Big Buttons]

Sounds like fun Mc.

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

MC Is this going to be your build thread? If so I can move it for you?

 

[McFizzl]

Yeah pretty much Don. Just make sure i know where you put it so I can find it again.

optima are hit or miss. My brother had one for many years no problems, i had one that internally shorted and Exploded in my engine bay once. 200+ is a lot for a battery that may or maynot be depenable.

 

[Big Buttons]

Never had a problem with my red top optima nor have my friends with their yellow tops. But when I get the money I'm upgrading to XS Power's

 

[McFizzl]

Ive never had a problem with the cheapo walmart batteries haha. I got some insane power batteries I paid 250 a piece for. like 1500 cranking amps a piece. Bough em for a diesel that doesn't run anymore. But they wont fit on the battery tray
