Ugly Gold 4 door Hoor SAS-LS

does ur spare fit back there with all those goodies?

 

I knew I'd come to something badass after you being gone from the forum for a bit.

 

Yep, prob an inch of clearance on the batteries but good. I didn't actually measure the center to confirm the compressors but they are pretty set back.

lol

 

Just let me know when you expect me to pick the truck up

 

@betterbuckleup

You had me thinking about this cause the batteries took like 2 hours to get done and I was worried.
This is the first time the tire has actually been off and in here. 9/10 times I’m refabbin shit when I make fitment assumptions. But, if I didn’t test fit it, I’d be 2” shy and I’d be cutting gate to make it up vs redo. So, thanks! Prob just gotta do a heat shield for compressor maybe.

 

Perfect fit

 

Yeah, worked out good. Bed no mas though. Do you have your air compressors hooked to main or aux battery btw?

 

Only 1 battery, lol. Still no issue. Been running single battery since I started two decades ago. No alternator upgrade, stock 80a.

 

That's what they call a money fit

 

Im kinda getting into all this cool comfort shit like chargers and lights and all that. If I can't enjoy camping out of this piece of shit then whats the point.

You're one letter away from a very true statement.

 

Lol. I have plenty of led light bar for camping with 1 battery. Just have to be cautious when everything is on. But so far, no issue.

 

Im sure a single optima can handle a lot. Back when my tacoma was a flats boat I could run dual bait well pumps, radio, intermittent lighting when needed, power pole and a trolling motor for 5-6 hours stalking fish and never had any issue with charge. The bait wells ran for 48 hours sometimes. That was only a 2 battery. I just want to be able to leave my headlights on for an hr without the jumper pack on call.

 

You won't regret going duals from the jump. I hate needing to start the truck for a while to kick the fridge on because it hit it's low voltage cut off on the single battery.

 

Powered up. Everything works efi wise. Starter bad so going to get one now.

 

You have a dometic?

 

That is so sweet looking.

Yeah a Dometic 65DZ. I don't even think they make the faux dual zone style like I have anymore. It basically uses an insulated wall to make a freezer space controlled only by one temp. Get the benefits of a freezer section that isn't as big as the 75 or 95 DZ. Or pull the insulated section out and the whole thing is a fridge. Still takes up a ton of space in the back seat though in an extracab.

Usually it's on the passenger side but I can move it to the drivers side when I have my kid with me. You can see it a little bit here next to him:

Pretty dang tall. Dub cab should be able to fit a fridge no problem though.

 

Nice! Little bandit! those dometics are cool. Ice is a pain in the ass. What are those seats out of?

 

Seats are out of like 02-04 RSX I think? Something like that. Had that one seat repaired last winter and had the guy install the seat heater elements I had too.

It came out really clean but I think if I were to do it again I'd go Baja XRS but I got these seats for free, and got them repaired and seat heaters installed for $300, and I think the seat heater kit my wife got me for Christmas was $200. So $500 all in vs $1381 with comparable options.

 

Yeah, they looked like acura seats. Like an integra v2.0. Done up those would be really nice.

I have the most raggidy ass interior ever. It pained me to reinstall it but $1500+ on seats is just not currently on the list.

On another note. I happened to see a vid of @malburg114 truck in action just now. Hope he's cool with me sharing, but anyone browsing this thread should see what's really up.
