Nice work on the brake! Where did you source the parts? I was planning on buying the estopp.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I got everything on ebay. The linear actuator is 2 inch stroke and 225 pounds of force

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

That’s pretty neat!
Didn’t know this was on the market....

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

The one on the market is 400 bucks I made this one for about 70 bucks in parts.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Haven’t seen it here in the Netherlands.
I’ve been thinking about a parkingbrake for my Jag setup, maybe this is something to look into....

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Very cool.

Bam, nice job. You are always thinking how to make things better...Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks guys

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I was able to put some work in on the truck over the Holidays. I fabricated these bumper brackets, shaved mounting holes, to have a smoother looking bumper. Now I have to find a good chrome shop.

Looking good Bam.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I think it would look good painted, but chrome is nice...Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Nice!
I think chrome would be great!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks Kim
Depending on the price of the chrome job, it just may be painted.lol

Thanks man

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I vote for chrome. Now do whatever blows your skirt up of course.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Looking awesome.
Any details on build of the electric brake system ,,, be interested in that.
Parts etc. Any complications.

nice.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Parts are Lokar ebrake cables, 2" stroke 225 pounds of force actuator, and a parking brake switch and light I found on ebay.

When setting up your actuator just make sure the brake are engaged at the same time the actuator power automatically turns off so its not continually pulling.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Well I was finally able to get her back on all 4's since I painted the cab and the front clip.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Man, that’s nice!!
Did you shorten the Fleetside? I see a different color backside...

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks man,

No I did not shorten the fleetside, its a shortbed fleetside. That is just primer because I filled the seams which exposed bare metal.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Ok, that makes sence.
Are you also fill up the seam above the spear?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

all seams that can be seen are filled. The seam above the spear can't really be seen its looks more like a indentation (at least on the aftermarket panels), primer and blocking will take care of that

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam, looks good, also nice to see them on the ground with tires and wheels...Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Going to be one sweet looking truck when it's all done Bam.
Kim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks guys,

Yeah its finally starting to look like something resembling a truck. Its time to finish blocking those doors and get them painted and installed. I've been procrastinating on blocking lately its such a dirty and undesirable chore, but its the most necessary for a decent paint job.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam, I really like that Green you put on your Truck. I highly doubt that you will lose it in a Crowd! Keep up the good work
