Max’s Roxor Build

[Colderweather86]

Max,

I see you've taken the OTR Fenders off. Do they not clear with the amount of travel you now have?

 

[Max A.]

They clear fine. I decided I wanted to take it for a test the night before and I hadn’t finished mounting the other side so I took them off. Same with the doors, I didn’t install latches yet and won’t until I know for sure what’s happening with paint. The fenders are on the list for this week.

I'm doing the same this weekend, but I don't have a fancy computer or bender. It'll be a 15" shop saw, and a welder. I'm into Overlanding, so It'll be a swing gate for the spare, with 2, 5 gallon Spectre fuel cans and a cooler mount.

Saturday night update.

Got the tire carrier done. I like it a lot. Turned out exactly how I had it in my mind.

I was also tackled getting seatbelts in. Since I, just going to keep the stock cage for Moab I had to weld in a harness bar. Simple and easy. Rustoluem truck bed liner matches the stock crinkle coat on the cage pretty well.

Looks good Max. You gonna paint it or leave all the bare steel as is?

Thank you!

Everything will be pained once I know I don’t need to add or adjust anything.

Correct. That’s part of the reason I needed one. Not for wheelies but for when I stand it on the back climbing rocks. The one on my samurai kept me from rolling over back a few times.... not every time but most of the time.

This was the last time I wheeled without one.

After that time I added this.

We rolled that thing a lot. I remember on that trip my wife got mad at me, not for rolling (she’s use to that), but because I pressed her harness release button without telling her while she was hanging upside down.... we laugh at it now but man she was mad when that harness opened up lol.

That's crazy! The tire carrier looks great...hope you don't have to put it's secondary feature to use anytime soon.

He will need it if he gets that beast to hook up! Looking really nice these days....

Thanks! I’m really proud of how it’s turning out.

I’m feeling pretty comfortable about the Moab deadline now.

Got the back bumper/stinger and half of the fenders painted and mounted now.

I’m no body man but they turned out half way decent. I found a new tool at Home Depot. A flap wheel that wraps all the way around for doing corner edges. It made things so much easier. Just a single skim coat of filler and sanded with 80 and then 150.

2 down 2 to go.
