The Insane Asylum DCLB build and XJ insanity

I bought a set of the Caliraised side shooters as soon as they came out and love them. They are extremely bright, never leaked, function as advertised, and good fit n finish. I liked them so much I bought a second set of their amber pods for fogs and they are fantastic

 

I have not been let down by the Cobra 75 yet at al. Compact, mounted under th seat, only seen when i need it

 

My current 75 was having issues at AOAA. Going to give this radio a whirl and see what happens.

There has been some QC issues recently that I've seen quite a few guys posting about issues with fogging up and not being water tight. They were on the list until I started seeing these issues.

 

You get the truck back yet bud?

 

Yep got it Thurs. Already put a couple hundred miles on it lol

 

How is Big Bertha running Skip?

 

Like a scalded dawg or at least as good as a fat heavy one can run!

 

Glad she is up and running good buddy. How did thay aluminum body f250 treat you?

 

I have seen the here locally but something about a 80k pickup being made out of recycled cans makes me cringe

 

For the std. v8 it was pretty peppy. As far as ride quality goes my old 2wd F350 and @EddyRRT Ram 3500 rides a lot better. It was the stripped down XL model so no real adjustments to the seat except fore and aft and recline it was much more uncomfortable than the Tacoma seats before I put the risers in. Those Dana axles under it kept tempting me to report it stolen and get them out from under it

 

That one car company in the 50s or maybe it was the 40s got sued and shut down by the gov't for using recycled airplane sheet metal. Can't remember the name of the company to save my life they made a movie about it in the 70s or 80s. Hell that company started a lot of our trends in safety like headllights that move when turning, seat belts, tempered glass, etc.

 

Wheres the new motor pics?

 

My ditch lights i bought shen they first came out. The fogs have only been on about 8 months i can only attest that I haven’t had any issues yet. I just can’t brng myself to spend the money on a set of rigids or Baja's that I will only use ovcasionally. I do sem to use the fogs alot however with all the rain we’ve had

 

Looks the same as the old one with the same old muddy covers and all. But I do have nice new idler pulleys, tensioner, and some other stuff that was replaced when the engine came out. Stuff I needed to do but hadn't done yet.

 

I use my ditch lights all the time. Hence my hatred for the flood beam and weak output. All they do is light up the hood a bit. My fogs and high beams I get better viewing than the ditch lights.

 

Were you able to find a motor with similar mileage to swap?

 

I got one with ~120 on it

 

That's less than the other one isn't it?

 

I have the CH4x4 small push switches in the console below the AC knobs. Great switches


Also look for this t Lowes. It's an LED work light it runs off AC but also DC with a flip of the switch and has like a 16' power cord for DC I believe. Hey $25 ya can't go wrong especially for a good work light to take in the field with you

 

the 05-11 lower panel is a little different we don't have the space to put switches like that. I'll snap a pic and show ya tomorrow.

That worlight is a sweet idea! A couple of those in my tool box would be perfect!
