Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Well, where's the finished product???

 

Shitty apartment complex parking picture.

 

Well fuck!

 

Spotted @the glen in my garage for wiring upgrade, with additional assist by @JMPNFSH & @Longboard1110 . BS was exchanged, wheels given away, and radios were programmed. Good times!

 

@Iggy. Heard you were going to help Glen with his accessory wiring. We didn't do anything with that stuff today.

 

No worries! I'm all for getting things done even it's not with me!

 

The man has 2/0 running to his winch solenoid. You'll approve.

 

I'm also curious about the battery cable kit he got. I need to big 3 mine.

 

Did this on my truck a while back and now his. Throw away the - connector that comes with the kit, go with one of these:
And we dressed the 3 + cables with this stuff.

 

had a good time, i may be calling you when its anytime locker time

 

Yeah I have those mil spec ones on my second battery and I'm using some fiberglass wrap on mine that's fire resistant too.

How did you all run the cables to the alt and frame? I got a spare alt harness on eBay.

 

Just want to throw out a big thankyou to erik (eddo) for all his help today. The truck really does feel better, electrically,lol. And iggy, hopefully we can hook up soon, atleast the battery and all cables are done now. Thanks again erik.

 

Mostly followed the OEM routing for alternator and starter cables. Ground to the block is a little on the short side, so it passes through the void under the OEM fuse block. All would have been easier, but Glen has a lot of accessories in there that could use some Iggy attention and a secondary fuse block.

 

So here is a quick shot of the battery (northstar 31m) inside the pelfreybuilt cage. The accessory wiring on top of the cage will be cleaned up soon with an aux fuse block.

 

did @Porter707 do any of it?

he has better angles

trust me

yeah i did to but it worked out in the end now i just have more travel then I originally thought

tiny tires....

thanks for the invite.....




today after work i did boring shit
cleaned the garage (like i needed to a few weeks ago)
took the rack and tent off the top so i can pull the truck into the garage and changed my spark plugs super easy and i can see the difference it made
also changed my air filter because its #timeforasnorkel
oil change new wiper blades/washer fluid refill
also did my back up camera relocate

@Gply the zip tie method works great

 

Ummmm, I handed people tools and put the tires on

I know small tires for now, 285/75/16s are going on Thursday.

I now owe @tacomgee and @DCSBFTMFW lunch and some Pliny.

 

Wow. Wouldn't have thought you'd want to hang out in a garage full of old guys. Again.

 

Yeah those bad boys are on there now. Bought some new Bilsteins for it and I think it cost me $250? Still put me way ahead of where I would've been had I bought them new.

Peter spent a while getting the sleeves off the old shocks, but he managed to get them off. I owe Peter big time.

 

compared to me, on here everyone is an old guy/gal
i just like bsing

but its ok I got a bunch done today

i have a few friends coming over to BBQ got some chicken marinating and my buddy has some tri tip he is bringing then they are gonna help me get the camper off so I can put new seal around the base so hopefully I can kill some leaking
