Casper's Broken Down old Grumpy Assed Build

He suggested running out the cut 2" on the table in the BF Sale thread. I'm gonna measure first so it won't create more work for him

 

Yep just saw that. That would be the best way you see what I was saying he's a good dude to work with

 

He's a stand up guy in my book. Hooked me up proper at a recent meet in Harlan for my IFS skid

 

Finally got around to installing "Raptor" grill lights. Super Bright LED's their deffinately brighter than the ozniums were in the other truck. I don't normally do little fluffy mods to the truck, if this is even counted as a mod, but I kinda like this one.

Lights off they're barely noticeable


I tied them into the parking lights

 

I would call it a mod. And safety first

 

The more lights the easier to see me

 

​

They look good too

 

For all of those folks who either thought I was dumb fabbing the light brackets and mounting them on the bed corners or just couldn't figure it out, here. This is their intended use. They are to help me see when I'm loading and unloading the 4wlr in the dark on the utillity trailer. The flush mounted bumper lights looked cool but did nothing for me in this scenario.


I needed the lights to be high enough to shine down over into the trailer over the tool box.

 

The lights I have on my shell are for the same purpose! Also help a lot to backup close to the lake to drop the canoe for duck hunting!

 

I found last night it also lights up nicely brhind the trailer for backing it in beside the garage. The ones in the bumper down low didn't work so well for my needs

 

@Limey1795 here switch over to here so we don't tie up the yardsale thread nobody hardly ever reads anyway

 

Haha! Yeah, I was waiting for someone to chime in and tell us to get a room! Lol

 

Screw them not in the South. I was ready to give a history lesson. I had to do that one time in NC when we were being evacuated from OBX for hurricane Bonnie. A guy was calling us Yankees until I got on the radio and promptly reminded him of where the capitol had been not to mention where the greatest generals came from. Where's your build thread I'm always looking for something to read you never know where you might find inspiration.

 

I'm a limey transplant and that kind of ignorant talk even offends me!!! Although I've been in Va. since '92.

No build thread for me yet. Funds are a little tight right now so the truck is stock. Once the oem tires need changing, hopefully it'll be a good time for me to look at wheels, new tires and a small lift.

 

Shoot you have trails all around you to ride from what I understand I haven't been able to get there yet. They're stock friendly Bald mtn and Flagpole. I understand tight funds it'll happen.

 

I guess I'm lucky in that respect. Lots of National Forest and trails out this way.

 

Yep I have one about 35 minutes from the house but you have several there. If any body asks you to go to Potts mtn tell them hell no though you gotta have a well built truck for that and I'm nowhere near ready for anything like that

 

Haha! I'll remember that!

 

I came home today and had my secret Santa package from the 50 thread waiting for me. What a cool gift package.

A beautiful Johnny Cash "Christmas card" and some Casper stickers


And a Trasharoo

 

Bad ass!!
