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

Probably going to get generic cans and Kenwood marine speakers. It has a casette player and walmart speaks atm. So anything is an upgrade lol

 

you going to regear? if so 4.56 or 4.88?

 

To whatever gears a Town and Country uses.

 

Camping weather???

 

You are not going so i wouldnt worry about it too much!

 

So i just designed one of these....
They can be used to mount CB antennas or light pods. Mount them as the are in the picture for a CB antenna, flip it over for a light pod mount! If you flip them they sit level with the bed rail caps.
More pictures coming of them mounted! Just wanted to post them up to see if there is any interest. $20 for a single mount painted w/hardware, $30 for a pair painted w/hardware shipped to your door!

Let me know what you think!

 

Any of you guys flush mounted led pods in your rear bumpers? I want some on mine for loading/unloading the boat.

 

I currently have some installed. Cheap $20 lights from Amazon!

 

Your getting some good practice mall crawling with that curb! Show up those jeeps this weekend.

 

Haha. This is at my GF's house, she has that huge curb separating her driveway from the neighbors. I was curious if i could crawl up that and so i tried, turns out i can!

 

A thin aluminum plate won't last long with an antenna mounted on it, the flex will crack it pretty quickly. That steel one I gave you was cracked after a few years of use.

 

I am going to try it out and see how long it lasts, it feels pretty strong. I am worried about the flex also but i would like to know how long it will take... it will probably last longer with a shorter antenna also. Using them as LED POD mount tabs should be fine though.

 

I did on my second gen, but haven't wired them in yet. Poor planning caused me to put the holes in the wrong spot, but I made it work. The pods were deeper than I expected and ended up hitting a bracket on the backside of the bumper. Had to shave some off the back of the pods to get them to sit flush. It would've been fine had I put them closer to the center.

 

Those needing an exhaust reroute, there may be something coming down the pipe from a local shop.

 

Let me know, I keep noticing a few around base but none inspire confidence. I might have to spend an afternoon in North Richland Hills

 

Almost ready to do overland stuff with my friends. Waiting on the damn tent now

 

I was able to take a look at @dwaltdtx 's exhaust today. Looks fine, but I don't go to Plano daily anymore.

 

Where did @dwaltdtx get his done? I need to have mine done in the next week or so. My skids may be shipping very soon.

 

Thanks!

New rear end is coming with some 4.56 gears in it, decided that route after talking to Nathan at Trail Toys. So front end will get the same.

Also this... honestly, I could do a Toyota Sienna build like this... ha

I am going to need one soon with the new BAMF skids... was going to find a shop around here to do it along with doing a turn down right off the muffler.

 

I think there are several of us in the "want to do it soon/skids on the way" boat.

I'm told there may be a solution in a week-ish, which is fine, I doubt I'll get to it this weekend.
