Sub a dub dub! Truck looks even better in person

 

Thanks man!!

 

Subbed for pics of Big Perm the baddest ATXdclbftmfw!!!!

 

HELL YEAH!!!!!

 

Does anyone know if I will need a new battery to support a winch? I have the stock 3rd gen battery currently

 

Just did some quick reading on this subject.

While it's not necessary at all....it might be a good idea to work on a secondary setup.

Especially if you plan to run a fridge in the future.

 

I was going to get a group 31 battery in replacement of the OEM one and then add a solar panel or get one of those cool dual setups but they are so pricey (at least for the Offgrid Engineering one).

Ill do some digging as well. With a future fridge and a winch, i wonder if thats too much draw

 

Wouldn’t imagine but your idea is great with the solar setup but perhaps a optima may hold your over till then.

 

I dig the optimas and have had good luck in the past with them. If I go this route, then it would set it up for eventual dual optimas... which IIRC, weigh similar to 1 group 31 battery

 

I love them, plan on getting one when stock goes belly up.

 

I ordered one last night



If I remember right, it suggested a battery with a minimum 660 cca. Not sure what the stock one is rated at.

 

WOOT! Looks like the stock battery has 710 CCA so hopefully i will be good for the short term:

You'd be good with a 31m alone, but a higher capacity alternator would be a good combo. Not sure if you have the tow package or not, but models with tow package have a higher amp rating alternator than the non tow package models. What you could o as well os purchase an alternator, then replace your stock one, and send the stock one to get rewound. At that point you may have to get in to replacing the wiring as well to larger wire to handle the load. Let's talk on Sunday bout this.

 

I do have the tow package so thats good news.

Lets definitely chat about this Sunday

 

And outcome of such chats shall be recorded here...

 

Yes of course!!!

I do believe i have the lighting sorted now as well.

Going to get this light bar:

and these fogs:

This should give me good fog light performance and width from the fogs, and a bit more reach in the center with the combo light bar. Ill end up having white lights on the top half (rigid light bar and ditch lights) and amber on the bottom half (fogs and bumper light).

I think this should work

 

Someday, when I have too much money, I want to replace my lightbar with this

Oh my! That looks pretty awesome! Super #EAF!!! Smart design too

 

hahahaha maybe not
I just compared lumens on those and the Squadron Pros... I was thinking I could run the outer ambers as daily fog lights and use the Pros off-road only. Nope. They're 1.5 times brighter than the pros

 

Well, lights are ordered! Those along with the winch gets me all square for the upcoming bumper install. The bumper is supposed to ship tomorrow

@Texoma has the limb riser tabs he will weld on. Itll go to the powder coater and then back to Chris's for the install....

HOLEEEE SHIT!
