geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

I've heard it's about an hour or so. Just ran out of time.

 

What is this

 

The new weld-in panel for this nightmare..

 

Front subframe where the battery sits?

 

Just below that; yes.

 

When the quote from the landscaping companies are to high and you don't have your own rigging gear...nature is free.

 

Where'd you go about finding that at?

 

Rock Auto has them. I was genuinely shocked considering I thought I was going to have to buy the whole thing and butcher it.

 

Ooff

 

That 31M life.

 

NTD:

 

Probably my favorite tool in my entire tool box.

 

Went for a little drive; found some colors, some mountains and some smoke..

 

New tool (accessory) day:

TL;DR - Home Depot is the shit.

I have been wanting a bigger DeWalt battery for a few reasons. I already have 4 1.3AH but between my circular saw and the hood light, I just go through the tiny batteries WAY too quickly. Often times, I have to charge between cuts (literally).

Figured I would give Home Depot a shot with their sales. Didn't even look online just showed up, had a price in mind and was ready to walk if the stars didn't align. Originally, I wanted a 6AH. But, I thought that a bigger battery means heavier tools.

There was a 2 pack of the 3AH at the price I wanted. Two left and the guy just handed me one off the shelf when he unlocked the batteries. Went to grab something else I was originally there for and went to check out. As I was checking out, I noticed both items were already opened (hell of a Monday). I said "oh shit these are already open." The nice gentleman at the self checkout desk said "don't worry I'll give you 15% off the total purchase." I apologized and said "are you sure? It was an honest mistake I didn't notice. It has been a hell of a day. (Like he gives a fuck)". He said "not a problem it happens. Enjoy your night."

Score.

 

Two projects this weekend:

1) mount bastard Jack in the bed
- need to build some brackets for the jack handle

2) bench test Sasquatch lights and make necessary fix(es)

 

Not a bad deal:

 

Coming along. Need to clean and reorganize and get rid of some shit...

Before:



Current:

 

Well, Summit Offroad wheels I ordered for the truck will no longer be available in 16's. 17's only moving forward.

Processing a return now for the last one I ordered since they mentioned NOTHING about this on their website prior to ordering.

Should I wait for the 17's and just be a basic b!tch? Pretty upset.

 

What tires do you have in mind?
