The TJ goes Android: The dash gets modded.

Update time! I needed to get the Nook mount in place, and modify the center bezel. I had a lot of options when it came to mounting, but I wanted to keep it simple, and by default reliable. If it won’t take abuse, it’s not worth putting in a Jeep. So, I decided to utilize my existing Quadratec iVault. It

The TJ goes Android: Starting the install

When I start most projects, I like to have a pretty good plan in place. With the TJ, I decided to take a different approach. Although I had the concept outlined, I knew there were so many things that would get adjusted on the fly. Compared to some of the other things I’ve done, this is a relatively simple project.

The TJ goes Android

Wow, it seems my front page has not been getting the love it deserves lately, so I’m about to change that. I’ve admittedly been spending a lot of time in the Losias forums lately. It’s populated with the best group of modders, tech enthusiasts, and friends a guy could ask for. A few other side projects have also been taking

The interior assembly gets fiber!

The interior assembly gets fiber!

Update time! I actually livestreamed the fiber going down, although it was a huge pain. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to skip taping the edges of the fiber. Needless to say those stray fibers soon became a problem as the layers went down. I managed to keep them out of the way, and got 5

The interior mold continued…

Although Project Hutch has been getting most of my time lately, I was able to get a little work done on OSIDIAS while waiting for some JB Weld to dry… I picked up on the continuation of the molds for the interior assembly. When I last updated, I had the inner mold completed. Now it was a matter of laying

The Rogue at Nvision ’08

Posted by: | Comments (0)

The culmination of ten months worth of work resulted in a trip to San Jose for Nvision ’08.  However, I didn’t just go for the scenery, I entered the Rogue in the case mod competition.  I’m not sure how many actually entered the competition, but there were some outstanding entries there.  I was honored to be among them, but even more pleased when the Rogue managed a second place finish!  I came home with some nice prizes courtesy of Nvidia and EVGA, but the experience outweighed anything I could have won.  I can guarantee that I’ll be back next year, and gunning for 1st!

Here are a few pictures of the Rogue taken while on display at Nvision.

I’m so close… the rig will be finished tonight! It’s a little bittersweet, but it been one hell of a journey…

I’ll start off with a picture that I was missing in my last post. Here you can see how the acrylic button lights up with DVD drive activity.
