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

Full set of skids ordered, hopefully have them by the end of the month(along with a/c again)!

 

I voted but im a maybe for this again. If it's the 16th I may there with a boat hooked up and a truck full of dogs. We're going to OKC that weekend to pick up my boat.

 

Boss man is throwing a party at his ranch today, free day off if you attend. Was hoping to have the CB dialed in before I left, but alas it wasn't meant to be. I have the SWR meter in the truck, so maybe I'll sneak off on a drive around the ranch somewhere and use the wide open space to do the calibration.

Also, my bedside decals arrived. Guess I have another project to do now.


Larger white compass is going in the back glass, the smaller I think will probably end up on the tripod.

 

I bet those will look great. I always think about removing the stock ones and replacing with some custom like that, but never get around to it (had the truck for 8yrs, so at this point probs not gonna happen)

 

Does anyone know what the part is that would need to be replaced if I destroyed the trailer wiring plug?

Wanting to get it fixed and working and mount it somewhere else so it doesn't get destroyed again.

 

One of my coworkers bought one for an f150 we had on the shelf and mounted it in the bumper instead of under it. Looks pretty clean.

 

Yea, I am just not sure if there is a certain one I need to buy to replace mine with or what, but going to mount it in the bumper...

Has been broken since Jamboree 2016... but want to get it fixed as I will need to use a trailer here in a month or so and want to be legal.

 

Also....

Selling my 30" Heretic Lightbar that I have mounted on the Prinsu Rack...

Wanting to sell it to pay for some stuff for the rear end as I don't really use the roof bar as much on trails.

 

Hey everyone, I just moved to DFW last weekend. Glad to see there's a page for the area!

 

I went the cheap route and wired up an aftermarket one... part couldn't have cost more than 30 bucks. Just took some time to seal everything up. That was several years ago. no problems to date.

Edit: I spent some time searching for one that would fit in the License plate lamp hole on my stock bumper... I just put in a brighter bulb on the remaining LP lamp.

 

So pretty much this sexy beast from Amazon...

$106 Genuine Honda 32113-SJC-A00 Trailer Sub-Wire

Was going to go the route that Crom did and drill another hole in the bumper so that both lights are retained. Pretty clean install honestly.

 

Welcome, current poll is up for the meet up later this month.

 

Yeah, I considered just making a complete new hole for it, but using the existing was easier for me. I just had to drill 1 extra hole for the mounting screws if I remember right.

I need to replace the screws as they are rusting (shop that painted my bumper used different screws than what I had initially used when I did this. but they charged me so little to paint it I just left them)

 

9U5Z-14489-MAA msrp $87.00 is what I keep on the shelf, its this one.


Or if you want to stay Toyota, theres the one off the third gen which appear to be very similar.

 

Shit i gave mine away for a beer

 

I'll happily buy you a second, maybe a third if you're nice

 

Will it be fruity tho?

 

If that's the way you party
