Thanks fellas! Next will probably be trying to figure out the aux fuse panel electrical work and Project CB. I'll need all the help I can get with electrical work. Actually I'm still waiting for the BAMF CB antenna mount to show up.

 

CB? Ham radio is better way to go. Only person that know has a CB is ratha and rick.

 

love this! email to me? satin@pelfreybilt.com

Where do you plan on mounting the Aux fuse box? That Pelfrey laser cut bracket is pretty sweet! I'll be updating my build with lots of electrical work soon that includes the switch wiring, dual battery, aux fuse block and relays. But I went full retard and made a custom panel on the rear bulkhead of the cab behind the interior panel. I looked at CE auto electric supply for ideas on the custom relay panels as well as a few components. Let me know if you need any info that stuff.

And that BAMF CB mount is pretty sweet. You'll like it.

 

I got the Pelfreybilt aux fuse panel, a Blue Sea fuse block, and a 100A circuit breaker. I don't know much about electrical wiring and such but I can follow directions. I'll probably be referring back to your build page for help as I will need lots and lots of it. Your interior panel wiring is a work of art. I didn't understand when you said you went full retard on that panel. Is that not where you'd like it?

 

It should be a clean install with that bracket. It's nicely made.

That IS where I wanted it since I didn't want to run everything under the hood and through the firewall. Just more time spent fitting it all exactly how I wanted rather than using existing brackets. As in only an idiot would put that much effort and waste time making it custom vs using what's already out there. I'm that idiot. But it's definitely coming together, and coming together EXACTLY how I want. It'll look nice once it's done then never be seen again once it's behind the rear panel.

And believe me, I didn't know much about wiring but it's all pretty clear now.

 

I'd like to thank Dana for making quick work of the 8 frame holes I needed for the sliders. That mag drill is fricken awesome!! What would've taken me a whole frustrating day, which would involve countless drill bits and swear words, took maybe 10 seconds a hole to drill.

 

I'm gonna start off with a CB first. I think Brooks is getting one too. Do u need a license or permit for a Ham radio?

 

Yeah you need a license. But I would imagine it's 100x's cooler since you can talk so far. One of the coolest things when I used to talk CB was finding the right conditions and talking to people in the mainland and even Japan. Eventually I'll go ham

 

Need license for ham radio

 

All the cool kids have a HAM. I'm not a cool kid according to Miles...

 

I'm definitely not a cool kid. CB for now at least. Maybe I'll graduate to HAM one day.

In other news, I installed LMZ LED headlights from VLEDS. Unfortunately the pics I took doesn't show how bright these are compared to my other bulbs. Man these are bright. I'll need to make some vertical adjustments tomorrow night. I also installed an Eco Block. I'll have updates on this in a few weeks.

 

Installed some G-Tek Fab door sill protectors. I love the look and protection they offer.






I also started project CB. Ran the antenna cable from the BAMF tailgate bracket into a grommet under the drivers seat. 18' of cable was just enough to reach with some play to connect to the CB which is bolted to the bottom of the seat. The BAMF bracket had to be bent a tiny bit to prevent rubbing on the tailgate. Now I have about a millimeter of clearance on both sides of the bracket.

 

Are your tail lights a flat black or more of a gloss

 

I like the idea of the sill protectors. May have to get me some of those.

 

If you're talk about the black in the tail lights then yes. It's a matte black.

Do it!!!

 

Oh no you didn't!!!...

Mikes gonna be sad...lol
