TacoFMS' attempt at a build thread

what all had to be done to relocate? also never heard of that winch brand, is it any good? pricey?

 

This "thing" is barely on wheels and tires right now.

 

Seems to do just fine every time I have had to use it. It's slow and loud, but I'm not racing nor trying to achieve a "zen" moment so I don't mind either of those things.

To relocate I had to get longer power cables and crimp ends on then fab a bracket to be able to mount it.

Also I caught it on a sale so got a real nice price.

 

This make it better?

 

Hmmmm. Maybe.

 

But she has that dirty whore look... I know you like dirty whores.

 

I didn't know his wife was a dirty whore. Makes me feel much better about myself anyway

 

We all have a little dirty whore inside

Some just show it more

 

I know I'm a dirty whore. So that means every once in a while she has a little dirty whore in her too

 

A whole 2"

 

Possibly... as long as it's not cold in the room

 

Speaking of wiring winches... You owe me some information.

 

I know, I'm slacking. Things kind of went crazy/got turned upside down and truck went back burner as a result.

 

Tried to finish up painting on the other two wheels to get ready for the new tires and was sadly disappointed. Turns out even though I purchased 2 identical cans of wheel paint the colors did not match. The first can was pretty much exactly what I was looking for, this second can was way closer to silver than it was to bronze. So I picked up a couple cans of a rustoleum metallic bronze to at least give it a shot and try to make all four match.

This is how it turned out. What do you guys think?


This was the original color I was aiming for.

Not sure if I roll with current or try my luck and buy another can of the duplicolor wheel paint to go back to the darker color?

I prefer the darker bronze. Those light bronze wheels look more like hood rat gold in the pictures. (Maybe too much light?)

Painting job turned out great btw

Maybe put it against the color of your truck for contrast, hard to tell.

 

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. If anything there isn't as much light as a sunny day. It's overcast and was about to rain. So not much light on them at all.

 

I think the darker color is the way to go. The paint job turned out really well though.

Can you put the lighter color up next to your truck tomorrow when it's light outside? Just to see what it looks like?

 

Thank you, I think that is gonna be the plan. Sadly. Time to roll the dice and hope the color is right on the next can.

 

Good luck buddy. Didn't know they would have that much of a color difference between 2 cans
