Progress pictures! I'm going to pick it up this weekend.

Well unfortunately this has taken a lot longer than expected and I will spare the details.

 

I will be getting the wheels this Saturday for sure. I am going with a Nitto Trail Grappler MT as the Toyo is on backorder.

 

Unfortunately I have to go through another shop now, and the price is considerably more so I won't have clear reflectors any time soon, maybe another month or two.

 

I can honestly say that none of this was my fault, I paid up front for everything. Frustrating situation but I am glad I will be getting some wheels on here finally.

Now that the lift, wheels and tires are done I think I am going to slow down on the "big" stuff and start improving little things.

 

Going to order the clear reflectors and LEDs soon as well Morimoto HIDs.

 

I still need to do the exhaust, intake and tuner. After that is stereo, originally planned on running a ported box and 1000 watts but now I think I'm gonna go with a Hertz HX250D and run it on 600 watts in a sealed box. I need to get the Audison Bit ten and Hertz HL70 mids for the dash and Hertz HCX 165 coaxials for the rear doors.

 

Also, after getting this thing up there a little bit there is another pressing issue. STEPS. Amp Research here I come...

One thing I wanted was an aggressive offset on the wheels to give it "stance." I wanted my truck to be clean and classy but aggressive at the same time which is why I went with the Sota Awol's and Nitto MTs, I feel like the billet grille and chrome window trim helped the clean classy look and the headlights/dark tint helped make it look that much more aggressive with blue FTS kit underneath.

Installed an Audison Bit Ten DSP yesterday. WOW. Excellent addition and a MUST for anybody wanting full control of their sound. I ordered a Soundstream RN1.2000D for the subwoofer. I plan on running a shallow mount JL powerwedge setup and matching the box all the way across the rear seat with an amp rack setup where I will mount up the amps and DSP and try to clean the wiring up a little bit. I will post pictures when it's complete because it's a little messy under the seat right now, leaving all wires long until completion so I don't limit myself.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
