The Lair

I like the 1st& wnd ones. Yay finally caught up hahahahaha

 

Here's my latest project:

 

The terrain out there is definitely 2wd friendly for people wanting to haul ass through woops. It's a lot of fun!

Are those diy or the kit ones?

 

I've seen it on the truck but never pre paint

 

On October 19th there is a ham license test 12min away from me here in Pittsburgh lol

 

Prepaint was still @Mobtown Offroad. I used diy bedliner to paint it. Here's the most current pic of it w/ fog lights I installed few weeks ago. Idk if you saw that or not?

 

DIY. Afaik they don't make a kit for pre 2012.
I bought some 9w leds:

and some replacement filler pieces:

and paint & clear coat:

$15 Dupli-Color EBTY16197 Perfect Match Automotive Spray Paint – Toyota Magnetic Gray Metallic, 1G3 – 8 oz. Aerosol Can

and im planning to use this switch:

$7 Yosoo 16mm 12V LED Latching ON/Off Power Push Button Switch,Power Symbol+Ring LED Stainless Steel Waterproof (Blue)

It's a work in progress. The lights have a long threaded body which prevents the panel from being installed against the headlight. I need to trim them down w/out damaging the wire in the center, then I should be able to move on. It probably would have fit if i'd installed the lights along the bottom of the filler piece, but I like the look of it following the curve. I'll update later when I get it figured out. Should be super bright, switched so not on all the time.
If it doesn't work out or I don't like it, I still have the factory filler pieces, and im out $90 minus whatever I sell them for.

 

Do it! Just study for a bit each week, taking practice tests.

That's pretty cool! Love projects like that. Hopefully it all works out.

 

hey @EatSleepTacos you have too much weight on your cap. Not sure if you will be able to hold it long term

 

Where are you getting this info? Or are you just trying to sell me your cap.

 

Relocated my scanguage as I wanted a cleaner looking install, and also stapled that plastic @LC7 recommended. It made a minor difference, but for $8 it's worth it. I'm sure it could be better if I placed the strips better, but if I'm going to spend more money on it I'll just buy some slides.

 

gahh you caught me!

 

I'm onto you David. As much as I like the windoors, I'll just be too damn high. I wish contractor caps were cab height, or better yet, mid height like we talked about while ago.

 

just wait and see how tall your RTT is on your cap.

 

Anyone in The Lair rocking a dash cam?

 

Oh it'll definitely be tall, but even taller on yours.

 

Yep, I am! You thinking of getting one?

 

I think you will be taller than me. I believe your tent is 12" tall at least, plus your rack

 

Yeah. Yesterday made me realize I need something to protect myself from false claims. Been looking at the 2 ch Thinkware F770.

 

I know, I'm saying my tent on your cap will be even more ridiculous.
