Permanent Rausch Creek thread

No room for a cig under helmet. Need to rig something up for that.

 

It's not hard Lloyd. Did you get the relay harnesses with your Pods?

 

Helmet? What did I miss?

Welding helmet... never mind

 

Nope. I don't have the relays, the switches, etc. Need to acquire those.
I did install all the LED's into the bumper cutouts.

Ill probably get to it when it gets a little warmer.

 

@Raxman80 sells the harnesses pretty cheap. Order one of those for the rear. I'm assuming you're going to use the factory fog light switch for the front? If so, you're going to want to do the fog light anytime mod first.

You know what? Get the harness, bring it over here, and we'll get it done. A man should NOT have non-functioning LED Pods in his sweet Bruteforce bumpers. It's just un-American...

 

I'm no mechanic, but maybe when Lloyd @Subway4X4 gets his harness and switches, we can do a little mod day at my place. I have a lot of tools and a big compressor. We can get some stuff done

 

In.

 

I've already done the foglight anytime mod. It was my second mod after I joined this damned TW.

I have two pairs of LED Pods in my front bumper. One pair is hooked up to my Foglight switch. The other pair is not hooked up yet.
The rear LED pair is not hooked up as well. I don't want it connected to my rear backup. I want a separate switch for it.
@Lilcarkid is a wiring genius and said he'd help me. When he comes out of hibernation, then maybe I can get it done.

 

You can hook all four front pods to the fog light switch. Unless you want them to be separate. In which case, you need two harnesses. One for the front and one for the rear.

 

@Subway4X4 Didn't you wire up your dual battery set up? These light pods should be cake compared to that.

 

Yup. I learned a lot when I did that.

What wire gauge should I use for the LED's?

 

Yup. Lot's on the list of to do's. The wife and I will be staining our deck in the spring.

 

With a proper chisel and a big fucking hammer, less than a minute.

 

I knew @stairgod was gonna overstate the time it would take to do this.

He almost doubled it.

Damn contractors.....

 

I mean if you include all the time for disassembly and welding required it may bump it up a little.

 

Pretty sure I just used 14.

 

You just chiseled them off huh? Nice.

 

I hear that. My wife's one request was a vacation this year. And that's something I benefit from too so it's kinda win win for me. But we will probably be doing the roof out of necessity, and little projects like replacing 90's light fixtures with something a little more modern. We still need to clear the stain but I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out.




Dark enough to change the entire look but light enough to still see the wood grain pretty well.

Also hoping to have diff's by mid April so woot to that! Might be back at RC by May.

 

Nice! That darker contrast makes it pop

 

I just installed my coil bucked gussets two weeks ago. Now all thats left is to finish plating the rear frame, need to cut some cross members out of the way first.
