    Yeah shipping wheels is large and a ton of work. If you don't have boxes (don't have any right now) it's a giant pain finding the right size box, cut it down, use 8 rolls of tape and get it out for pick up.

    don't know exactly when we pull back in yet, but shouldn't be too much longer. ya its gonna vibrate like a pornstars toy I bet.

    if you don't want to use insurance we can get that fender painted and be good to go.

    I'm going to talk to insurance and see what they think. Drove it last night and it rode like shit. Thinking a lot of that is because the wheel weights got ripped off. Figured I'd at least file a claim and see where to go from there. Rotor has a nice flat spot in it so TBU soon.

    Also, Flagpole trip weekend of May 27th

    Just passed it to the group chat.

    Just asked my GF and she won't be able to make that weekend either, nor Austyn or Hannah. Wouldn't mind doing a smaller group of just us on a later weekend

    Hey guys, I'm in need of your awesome knowledge on electrical wiring. Some months ago I went to a very good off-road shop for the installation of my S8 Baja Design light bar. They did an excellent job but it was kind of pricey. I have just received an ARB 12 volt wiring loom to power my Indel-B fridge 24/7. The question is if I can just connect it directly to the stock battery with the wiring of the light bar, or do I have to do something else??? I really don't know shit about electronic wiring and definitely don't want to burn my truck to the ground. Attached are some pics of the light bar wiring so you can tell me if it's ok or not to do the install directly. Thanks in advanced for your help!!!

    Cheers,

    P.S.
    here is the link to the ARB wiring kit

    hook it to the battery no issues will be had as long as the harness has a fuse and or relay.

    You'd be just fine. The fridge draws very low power anyways. The only concern would be having it on 24/7, and then killing the battery. Which size fridge did you get?

    Thanks guys, the fridge is the 41 I bought on a TW group buy a while back. I will try and tackle the install this weekend. As far as I understand the harness has a relay and fuse, but will check once again to be certain. Once again thanks and I'l keep you guys posted!!!

    :cheers:
