DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

@Gingerbeard Man used TRB Motorsports in Carrollton, so a little closer than Tandem, to install his lift, they might be able to do lights.

 

Cool thanks guys I'll give them a call tomorrow and get an idea on pricing!

 

You got a good amount done last night! I'm still waiting on a CB antenna mount to arrive and I still need to order/buy the CB and everything else for the install...

 

@hoarder23

Im trying to make sure everything in line for the 10th. I ordered a 20 inch light bar, heatshrink butt connectors, 16 gauge electrical wire - i plan to run the 20 bar off one side fog harness, and two pods off the other side, all three off the oem switch. Did some crunching in lighting forum and only going to draw .416 more amps, still 5.xx amps shy of the 15 amp fuse.

Have the xrc winch new in box as well. Will have the bumper painted and ready to go. Anything else I should prepare?

If we do this ill bring beer.

 

My wallet just wont stop hemorrhaging money. Redline Tuning GB just went live. I've been resisting buying these in hopes of a GB. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...uy-ends-march-15th-2017.478218/#post-14534584

 

Dang, I want these.

I wonder if the plus would be OK to get or should I just go for the elite?

 

They function the same from my understanding. The elite have a 1yr longer warranty and are stainless instead of black. I went with the plus because they are less $ and I like the black over the stainless. Not worried about the warranty 4yrs is plenty long to me.

 

damn you. ordered.

 

You could ask some audio shops for prices also. Just DO NOT go to Premier Auto Sports! They suck!

You may want to pick up one of these.... I have one that i need to install, it has x2 0/1 gauge terminals and x1 4/8 gauge terminals. Would be great for running power to your amp and power to your winch without smashing all those wires.

I already have these! thankfully!!!! These are one of the best investments ive made for my truck!

you should be good with the Plus, that is what i have and they work just fine!

 

At least they arent really expensive and 25% off is nice!

 

Do they replace the terminals or just add these on the post above the existing terminals?

 

I believe those replace the current terminals. Never seen any that just go above teh stock ones since most posts are too small. They just have additional wire hookups. I really like the design. May have to get a set one day.

 

You may be able to just mount this on top of the existing wire terminals, however you would get best results from just cutting off the old terminals, exposing fresh wire, and attaching them to this terminal. These are also used in big 3 upgrades.

These are super cheap and easy to install. Just disconnect the ground cable and do all the other cables first before reattaching the ground.

 

ordered, thanks

 

They are def easy to install. I've replaced a few in the past when I used to work on cars more. Figure I'll wait until I do a full electrical set up with dual batteries and aux fuse panel. It should be sometime this year after I get a lift, skids and probably some other items.

 

Make sure to properly protect the wire connections with some battery terminal protector when you install to prevent corrosion.

 

Post the installation instructions for the bumper and winch so I can if I have all the needed tools. I should but it sucks to find out halfway you need a 4.5mm socket

 

Plus it is! Ordered.

 

Man i am trying to do the same thing! haha. I need to get a fuse box soon! I am starting to pile up the electronics!
