P1000 4 big changes this weekend

[Gator]

So overall you took out about 4.5"?
I remember you said 5.5 on the front but that's on an angle.

Question:
What is the ID of the ROP tubes (2 sizes)? You obviously purchased tubing to fit.

I was thinking red at first my boy nearby had me talked into white. If white in my roof would hold up I would have done it but we hit a lot so I backed off. Texture will be nice. I really think you'd have to do the roof as well otherwise there would be white bars that just end. Maybe not though. It would look sick with roof done too. I will be doing the windshield surrounding in white.

We have a powder coater local, my drop off the cage when I do the rims for my Durango.

Do u have a hard mid glass section? Do u think it could be chopped down?

It's over a 1/16. Used 1 5/8 for the front four sections but bought 1 1/2 for the rear.

I really like the flush cubes mounted back there. I do suppose that cut, but out of all of the challenges that does look to be the worst. A three seater would be really easy though.

Well today I'm going to tackle an easier project. Tailgate and roof totally done. Have a little wiring there but very little. Decided accessory battery will not work for us anymore. I does seem to have enough power and even reserve capacity isn't bad however we demand a lot from a battery! We have 12 speaker stereo setup with a 12 sub with amp under driver seat, lots of lightning and will be adding a 75w ham radio as well. Most of this we will use without vehicle running from time to time. We kill batteries quickly. So on watch list I've had a non-battery for a long time. Pulled the trigger in great hopes. It's a 600amp capacitor not a battery at all. It weighs under two pounds so 20 gone from the hood. You can run it totally dead and charge fully 500,000 cycles. Don't try that with deep cycle. It'll charge from fully dead to full in about 1 1/2 minutes in the Pioneer. Hopefully we don't kill this one!!!! Time to try!! Not positive how this'll work for our application but you never learn without someone getting an idea and being a dummy. That's me

Sweet! Interested to see how it works

 

[CumminsPusher]

Me too I've been dying on this one. I guess fingers crossed

I've decided I'm doing a car battery under the seat, lower cog and much easier for neatly wiring accessories

True on cog! If this works it's really light and would be a simple hook up. I like having dual batteries and having them close together. For normal usage I do have plenty of battery for most applications,that battery is only 25 pounds and many aren't concerned with a heavy lightbar on the roof which is far worse I'm not too concerned about this weight where it's at I just like keeping it off overhead. With this setup I'm not so much hoping to gain battery power as I am gaining battery life. Deep cycles only do so much I'm hoping this is our answer I'm sick of buying so many batteries

Have you considered a car battery in addition to a cap?

 

[CumminsPusher]

I'm actually replacing or deep cycle with this. I guess the extra reserve capacity would be good but I don't like the distance I'd have to run everything. It's much easier under the hood because everything is there. That's one thing personally I didn't like about the 700. I really prefer all of that under the hood with short wire runs. That's just preference though. Now with that said I've got a speaker box in that spot and definitely prefer that. I've always wanted to play with a cap so this gives an excuse. Be nice not to ever have to replace this no matter what

Fair enough. Be watching to see how it works. How bout that side shot of the chop?

Yes, side shot please.

 

[sugarray]

Could you put an overhead mounted gun rack for 2?

If wanting to keep the accessory wiring the same is the only reason, you could use remote terminals. Just install large battery under the seat and run a pair of cables salvaged from a set of #2 jumper cables. The wires would be a joined pair and then slip them in a wire loom. Install the remote terminals in the oem battery location so no working has to change.

I know you CP already know this but not every reader may have thought about it.

Also, the safe thing to do is to install a breaker or fuse on the battery!

I still haven't made up my mind on what I want to do. Right now I'm leaning toward the single battery under the seat.

Yea the cage is nothing to cut down. But like u said also. That hard rear glass an plastic would be a night mare. An I wanta keep it closed in. Cuz in 2 months its going to get cold. An then few more months well be in s*** tons of snow. Lol

I probably wouldn't try on that it may be the toughest
