Gramp's Old Guy Build - Agnus the GX

Thats a good looking wheel right there, nice choice.

 

Thanks! I am liking that they have 4" of backspace too. Should be just about perfect with 35's.

 

Should look nice against the DSM wish they would have had that color available when I purchased my Tacoma back in 05.

 

Do you have anymore pics of your in can switches

 

A couple. What do you want to see?

 

Just how your wiring looks underneath, how you mounted the switch holder. And any other pics you might have

 

Really the only other pic I have is this one.


The holder has tabs on it like the switches. So just cut the hole ( I used a dremel) large enough to let the holder slip in and it will hold just fine.

Take note of where you position it. If you go too close to the auto shifter there are some parts underneath that hold the shifter in place that will be in the way. I found out the hard way with the two winch switches above.

All of the power leads go back to the engine bay coming from a Blue Sea Fuse panel I installed. The accessory power for the switch lighting comes from an accessory wire by the shifter that lights up the shift panel when the lights are on. I also used a common ground screw that was right there in the center console to ground all of the switches. I sodered everything and put heat shrink on it all so hopefully none of it ever comes apart.

 

Thanks man for the help I'll post up pics when I get everything wired up

 

I am a bit late getting around to posting pics but last weekend I installed my Pelfreybilt Battery Cage with Die Hard Group 31M battery. I also cleaned up my wiring a bit. But now I am out of room on my Blue Sea. I am gonna have to get a larger one.

 

Today I mounted my CO2 tank holder and tank. This was the only place that I could access it. I might be moving to a full bed rack sometime this year and will move the location then. But for now it is secure and easily accessible.

It has a bag for winter use to keep it warm and I want to pick up the rubber molded base to protect the tank a bit.

 

Looks good

Like that toolbox, guna have to get one like that myself soon.

 

still able to easily open the toolbox?

 

You have to pull the lid up but the supports will hold it up once up. I only plan to keep the tank in the mount when wheeling. I will store it in the garage at other times.

 

Thanks. Its a Kolbolt that was chrome. I wired it down to aluminum and painted it black. It has actually held up pretty good.

 

Cool I have a kobalt now too but it sits over the rails and that's not going to work with a bed rack. I did mine in bedliner.

When are you getting the new rims?

 

SCS hopes to release them mid April so my hope is on the first run. I am looking into a bed rack as well. If so the mounting of my tool box will have to change.

 

Well finally researched tires today and came back full circle to the Hercules Trail Digger MT. I will be ordering a set of 315/75/R16 in the next couple of weeks. I need 5 on this go round so it is costing a bit more.



Just cannot beat the price on them and almost all of the reviews have been positive. So we will see.

 

Those look mean!!

 

Also did some shopping on Wheeler's Site today. Got these coming:


With the Toytec BOSS Coilovers cranked up some the OEM Bumps are horribly hard. This should fix that.


I was looking for this to protect the bottom of my CO2 tank and could not find anywhere that was selling them separately. So this will work great!


Oh and I cannot wait to get my bag of candy.

 

We shall see how they do. Price is awesome and they are not well known so hoping I can them some support in that aspect.
