FWP Fab Locked Longbed Project & Rubbishery

Yeah. i like the 6' beds

 

didnt know they had them in 2013s

 

I really like the look of the truck. Great idea on the shovel mount. Any chance you still have the texas edition bages? I would like to buy them if so. Going to look into the dash cam idea right now. Nice work to date.

 

I still have all the badges. I did spray some plastidip on 2 of the 3. One black and one white. the other still chrome. I used one to see how close the white was to the superwhite paint on the truck, and the other black because i was thinking about putting the black texas badges back on in diff location than stock. I liked where the tundras put their texas badges.

 

Seat covers came in today. Makes the interior look blacked out almost. I am thinking about painting the center console piece black to match.


And I just wanted to put up a picture of the rear seat cover. (aka Dog seat)

 

Got some new shoes!!! 17"x9" Michey Thompson Sidebiter 2s! I will get new tires when the tires I have start to get low on tread.

 

Can you explain the wiring for the bed lights? I'm looking to do the same thing but I'm far from electronically savvy and I'm not very sure where to start.

 

yeah man it is super simple...

Wiring diagram.....

 

Thanks!!

 

No problem. Make sure to get some better adhesive for the LED strips. The stuff that comes on it isn't very good. I used clear silicone adhesive on mine. I think it was RV brand or something.

Also soldering is always a better/stronger connection, and use shrink wrap sleeves to shield the wires.

I also ran my wires along the frame with the other wires already running to the rear and used wire ties to secure everything.

 

Nice, thank you! I'll be ordering parts soon, though I'm curious if using the rgb led strips would change more than just the connectors.

Also, you going for your ccna? I just got done with a boot camp.

 

The RGB LEDs will be different for sure. I dont have a lot of experience with RGB LEDs but it should have a control box that controls the colors and all the LEDs should hook into the control box. The control box should also have power leads coming out the the box which will still be hooked up the same way.

The control box may come with a controller that may have a power button which would prevent the need for an inline switch.

 

Here are some dirt jumps for BMX bikes that I have been helping out with for about 1 1/2 years now. Some of it is done with a bobcat but the majority of this is all shovels and elbow grease!
Check them out and let me know what you think. We had a bobcat out there again this weekend. I will post some pics of the new jumps we will be building and update them as the jumps get closer to finishing.

 

We now have 8 new jumps that need to be packed and shaped. Very stoked to get these mounds of dirt shaped into some sweet dirt jumps! The top picture shows the mound that will be packed 1st. This will be a roll in for our jumps! Hopefully no more pedaling!!!

Ultragauge!! Not sure that the Gas distance to empty (DTE) is very accurate. It says 268 at 3/4 of a tank... Im now at 1/4 on the same tank and DTE says 230's...??

UPDATE: Aparently there is not gas sensor for the Ultragauge to read so you have to manually insert fuel level. There is a fill up option, partial fill up, and a empty option i believe. Still waiting to see how accurate this is...

 

Tire add on...

Forgot about my AAS mod (Add A Screw) while out playing in wet grass... Ripped out the screw and the rest is history....

Looks so damn UGLY!!! Thankfully there is discount tire and they have free tire repair! Even mounted it and put my spare back under my truck all for free!

 

Why the Hell do you have your tire in the cab?? Lol

 

Waiting on @HomerTaco to get some mesh inserts back from paint so I can put it on this grill! Still need to color match the grill so that should help kill the time.

All in all i would say it took about 3 hours to cut and sand everything using his how-to thread. Being that I have never made one of these i would say that's not bad.
