AzScorpion's Money Pit 2 Build

[AzScorpion]

The politician is showing, a don’t know answer is fine… you seem to deflect answering the question. Does the cooler 12 volt power shut off after a period of time? Just curious..

I did, I said it doesn't take long to cycle once it's up to temp.

So if you have it set to 36* it cycles for a few minutes (maybe 5-7 it depends on the ambient temp you're in) then shuts off. BUT when you first start it up it will run for about 20-30 minutes depending on what temp you set it at. It will never constantly run unless you have it in direct heat/sun and you're in freezer mode. Even then I've left mine in the back seat of my '19 all day while we were in Moab/Canyonlands and I only used about 40% power from my Bluetti EB55 power station.

Tint came out really nice. I did 20% all around and just went with a visor strip. I asked him about doing the windshield and he said he will do it but that they're illegal here without a prescription/ Dr's note. So if you have vision problems or skin problems you can get one. I figured 20% is over the legal limit (35%) but everyone here has it and even darker so I'm not going to push the windshield too.

I was going to do ceramic and the installer talked me out of it. He said he's been doing this for 22 years and he doesn't see the benefit out here with it and the added costs. I was surprised to hear this because every video seems to swear by it but I went with his recommendation and just did regular tint. I figured why would he try and talk me out of spending more money? Usually they try and get to upgrade. Ive never had it before and have managed to live with our heat so far. Plus I'm not working as much anymore and my truck is always garaged at home.

When's the dash cam going in?

After your messed up accident, I figured you'd look like this by now:

I do need to get one soon. I still have to register it (waiting for all the paperwork to be Fed-Exed now) and our sales tax and vehicle tax are a killer here. It'll be over $4,000 just for those two so the dash cam might have to wait a little longer. Seeing as there was no trade in I have to pay sales tax on the full amount of $49,210.00.

I'm trying to find a dual pod bracket that these will work on these...

[Friday yet?]

Might have missed it, but did you order hood struts yet?

Was in the garage this morning, drinking coffee, cleaning windows on both vehicles. Of course that lead to a truck admiration session. And since it had been a couple of weeks I had to pop the hood. No, I did not sniff the oil! But I did think, "Man I really like having those hood struts!"

Did you check for water in the spark plug wells?

@AzScorpion won't have any water in his plug wells.

He installed the engine cover and his new friends will take care of any water issues.

Thanks Andrew. I'll have to wait and order them once we return from our trip. I won't have time to instal them now and I'd hate to miss the return window if something were wrong/didn't fit. Bonus that they're red too.

Not yet but they're on the list. I almost knocked that darn prop rod off the other day while I was reaching in to get the turn signal bulbs out. That would've been interesting.

Funny you should mention this because I remembered reading that thread. After washing it twice on Friday I checked under the hood and there was only 1 drop of water on the cover and the area below seemed dry.

I just installed the clear door edge guards. These are 8mil thick and come in a 5/8"x150" roll which is more than enough to do all 4 doors. I found this video which if you follow it makes it super easy to instal. You really do need a heat gun or a very hot blow dryer to warm these up and there's about 20" left over.

You discover any missing parts Dave? Like the small fender liners.

Morgan, The front/rear liners seem to be the same as on my '19. So far only just the stuff listed in the deleted items thread but most of those I took off MP1. ?

Just about everyone by now knows what happened to MP1 so now it's time to start over and build MP2. I kept telling myself I'm not going to buy a lot of things for this one yet somehow I keep finding more stuff to buy. lol One main reason I wanted the Tremor package was for the suspension and larger tires. I already did these (twice ?‍) on MP1 and I just didn't have time to do it again before leaving in 2 weeks. So far I'm super happy with the package and it rides really nice!

I found MP2 at Corwin Ford in Spokane Valley, WA while it was still in transit. The salesman David Low was a pleasure to deal with and kept me informed the whole way. It arrived at the dealer the day after MP1 was declared a total loss so it was fate.

Welcome to the dark side. Love that Termor…now pull off those stickers. It’s obvious it’s bad ass and you don’t need no stinking stickers on that truck. ?
