If the aspect ratio is off, you end up with squished, or stretched. You're better off with dot-for-dot correct images in the first place.

RCI Sliders installed.

 

Changed the oil for the first time today at 5100 miles. Replaced the plastic filter housing with the aluminum one. The oil was nice and clean, really think we can let these trucks go for the recommended 10,000 miles. I was worried about the break in oil change but now I think it was unwarranted. Used exactly 6 quarts of Mobile 1 0w20, got it from Wal-Mart, it was the cheapest I could find it. I grabbed 7 quarts (one 5 quart and two 1 quart bottels)for 44 bucks but only had to use 6.

Here are the links to the parts and the oil filter housing wrench I used.

I like the aluminum filter housing.. Gonna have to add that to my never shrinking mod list

 

Yeah it seems to be a nice little upgrade.

 

Absolutely. smart mod right there.. I have some big stuff coming but will probably get this on order in the meantime

 

I love the way your light bars turn out man. very cool.

 

Saw some nice rigs today at Front Runner Outfitters Holiday Open House.

Oh thanks dude! SDHQ deserves all the credit. They designed and built a stellar bracket. Switchpro will go in next week then sliders, skids and stealth winch after the new year. Then rtt and a host of small things. But I'm definitely happy with the light bars, can't say enough about the brackets and how bright these lights are. just about 50,000 lumens of functional light.

 

Can't wait to see it all done. I need to get down to SDHQ and check out their shop. it's just down the road from me. oh, did you ever figure out if there's a meet tomorrow or not?

 

Oh you have to go for sure! They are the shit. A bunch of us were there today for their Toys 4 Tots BBQ... But I gotta warn you, hard to not spend money there!!

No go for tomorrow, got postponed til January

 

Damn, I wish I would have known about that, I would havery stopped in today. next time for sure

 

Food, beer and lots of sick trucks all for a good cause.. If you have Facebook of IG, follow them on there , they always post their events. Good crew out there today.

 

No bookface or IG for this guy. TW is the extent of my social media. I'll just have to ask you every now and again if anything is going down.

 

You keep a 40' ocean container around for storage. Nice

 

Something like that no... In actuality, a friend keeps a 40' container around for storage, I just happened to have a bright idea of making removal and install of my RTT into a one man job rather than pulling teeth for help. Takes me 6 minutes by myself to remove - back in, unbolt, ratchet up, drive out.

I'm saving up for my own 20' container however, since I want to outfit it for hunting, camping, and disaster preparedness

 

You say " cut out space for light bar " ... what does one have to actually cut to get the light bar to fit? i did not know there was any modifications required to install ?
