My goal is to get the back of the bed looking super clean and nice, the hydraulic pumps will be exposed and so will the batteries thats why i chose to go with side post optimas thats one battery you dont need to hide they can be pretty to look at with that being said

tpimuncie · 07-01-2015, 12:08 AM

Here are some pics of the custom pump set up they are almost done and ready to ship out.

I wish the East Coast roads would allow hydraulics. I'd love to see more in action. I'm afraid you'd get your kidneys beat out driving around here. Hahaha!

Looks great BTW!!!

tpimuncie · 07-04-2015, 09:22 PM

Only have 20" from the front of wheel well to bed panel so if i made a rack that raises it 2" it will give me enough space to mount 2 batteries on each side and clear it.

tpimuncie · 07-04-2015, 09:25 PM

Attached some angle iron so i can drill holes and secure it to the floor and the optina trays will bolt to them without any bolts exposed, should look like batteries Are free floating but will be very secured.

tpimuncie · 07-04-2015, 09:27 PM

Finished one painted it and will do the other one during the week or tomorrow depending how i feel after tonight lol

HAPPY 4th EVERYONE DRINK UP!

Im having fits using one. No matter what I do, or how I hold my mouth, whenever I go to yank the stud, it either snaps off, or I melt the stud in half trying to get a decent attachment......

tpimuncie · 07-15-2015, 12:50 PM

Thanks kim

Yes ive experienced that myself make sure the area where the stud gun will be making contact its clean bare metal

tpimuncie · 07-15-2015, 12:54 PM
