FWP Fab Locked Longbed Project & Rubbishery

Painted the front emblem white while I am waiting for my mesh insert to arrive.

 

More camping photos... Can you spot my dog? haha

 

AAD (Add A Dog) Mod...

 

Wired up my old ass amp and sub... Probably 10 years old now and still turning heads! Curious if i can get ********* to make a box for a 10" L5 so i can put it behind the rear seat...

Amp is mounted under the driver seat
Sub is behind driver seat on the floor until I get a box that fits behind the seat.

UPDATE** I have upgraded from this setup

 

I took it off the night before. It was raining and i live in Dallas in apartments. Someone would have jacked my rim if i had not put in my truck over night.

 

Don't buy Taco Tunes anything. They have a history of taking payments and not filling any orders or issuing refunds, answering their phone or email, etc. At best, it's a 50/50 chance of getting what you paid for.

Try Mr Marv on this forum instead.

 

Even I don't want you getting ripped off.

 

Uh bro, did you forget you have a truck? You know, like with a truck bed and shit?

I live in dallas where people still shit out of the back of your truck. Hell they will even still your tailgate if its not locked down! I dont trust people to leave it in the back of my truck.

 

Swapped out the stock interior lights with LEDs!!
Before...

After...

 

Added some lights under the hood, and added some curtesy lights. Curtesy lights and bed lights are now hooked up to turn on when the doors open or when the truck is unlocked by remote. Lights turn off when truck is started or locked by remote.

Here is a video the lights turning on/off when the truck is unlocked/locked.

 

Some local offroading. Also got my new custom grill finished and installed!

 

Found a group buy for some WeatherTech floor mats so i when ahead and bought the front and rear digital set! Thanks to @ramonortiz55 and @Anzy! Glad to have something for the back now.

Rear WeatherTech floormats

Front WeatherTech floormats

Husky classic front floormats. I like them and the work great but i wanted to buy the rear liner as well and when the group buy came up I went ahead and bought a new set.

 

glad to hear you are enjoying your new mats

 

nice build

don't use wire nuts for vehicle accessories ha.. crimp / solder would be best.

 

Thank you!

That was just a "basic" layout. I explain that soldering and shrink wrap would be the best solution. I actually just used wire taps on all the LEDs and wrapped it with tape or used shrink wrap to waterproof/secure the connections. There is probably a "best way" to install the lights and connecting the wires but the way I did it works good. Wires are hidden (zip tied to existing wire harness) and all connections are waterproofed.

 

it's all good best way (in my opinion .. and people will argue) is crimping with silicone or some kind of de-oxidizer wrapped in shrink wrap. I've been doing heavy industrial electrical work for 13 years

 

Yeah i like crimping also but i'm not sure where to get quality wire ends so I solder, and definitely shrink wrap everything! Plus shrink wrap makes the final product look nice, almost professional!

I'm definitely not an electrician by any means, i will have to hit you up if i have any electrical questions if you are up for it.

And if you know where i can get good wire ends for crimping, and some quality wire (solid copper core probably) off the internet for a decent price i would appreciate it.
