Oregon and Washington BS thread

whole thing from what I recall, I will try to take pics tomorrow but I totally suck at getting pictures up (I don't know what inspires that laziness, I think I hate photobucket)

 

I'll look at mine closer tomorrow. UPS dropped them off and they were heavy as hell. I moved them into my garage and went back to modifying my kitchen cabinet for a new fridge getting delivered next week.

 

They start off looking fairly nice. I think the Dakar are painted better. Regardless, no performance issues.

 

Did you end up painting yours or?

How old are yours?

 

Nope, I did not. I have had them on since late 2014 (I bought them with the Thanksgiving sale that year)

 

Cool.

Thanks. I'll monitor them. This is a brand new set they just got in.

 

We can put them on my truck and test the paint

 

Good luck getting that to fit, even if he were to let you

 

they might need some convincing and some help from a welder or two but ill get em in there!

 

Sure!

Wait......

BFH will fix anything. Maybe.

 

Just gotta go to the right shop...

 

Still trying to find reasonably priced and local 1/0 welding cable. Any tips appreciated

 

See if you have an "industrial welding supply" near you. That would be the easiest. Some auto parts store can order you stranded usually, some won't tho.

 

There was a wire place downtown I called during my search. Can't remember the name off the top of my head... I only remember it was super expensive per foot.

 

Super expensive doesnt sound fun



Just need enough to relocate my winch solenoid. Without measuring i cant imagine needing more than 12 ft

 

Try calling Airgas (there is a shop in Hillsboro) or Industrial Welding Supply. They are in McMinnville though.

 

I wonder if an electrical supply company would work, too. Eoff, Grainger, Platt...

I have a set of these as welding cables, I just put warn winch quick connects on the ends instead of the ones on it. http://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/38/949/20--Slave-Cable-Jumper-Cable

 

If you don't have any luck local Amazon has it available on Prime, 2 days out isn't too much of a wait.
