Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread

Thanks, Alex!

they also gave you an awesome CV boot apparently.........

keep eating. probably be another week before i have time to get the next two cameras on.

 

got another camera up and running. this one's on the bumper light hoop. built a little tree guard for it too,







camera angle for day to day driving



camera angle for wheeling

 

What off road lights are you running? Looking for something to hit past the hi-beams.

 

roof lights are HID retrofits i frankenstiened myself. the red rings on the bumper are your average kragen style 7'' driving beam (about $90-$100 a pop online). they are internal ballast 35w HIDs with a 5000 bulb. the center, all black light is a kragen style 7'' spot beam. 35w ballast and i believe a 6000 bulb.

Each of the style lights i am running will project past high beams, with the spot beam going the farthest obviously.

 

Thanks, I'm going to look into the red rings on the bumper. Sounds like that'll fit my needs well.

 

yeah, the driving beam is a great all-purpose pattern.

 

sorry if this question has already been answered but what lift are you running and what tire size?? My computer is glitching so you probably said it earlier I just didnt see it.

Thanks

 

No problem, Jake. I have extended travel Icons in the front with Icon 2.0s in the rear with an AAL. with the coilovers set where they are, i have about an inch to maybe and inch and a half of lift front and rear. still sitting with a little bit of rake, but i tow a lot and tend to load up the bed with lots of stuff for trips, so the rake is needed.

screw lovebug season.

 

My truck would look like that after every 2 hour drive to and from school.... damn bugs

 

Colin that sucks sooo bad.... God I'm glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. I used to have to wash my truck every other day.. Stupid science experiment

 

Pressure washer sure is getting a workout.

 

whats new bro? graduate yet?

 

i bet this truck smells like old taco's

 

What winch you running? Any recommendation ?

 

sure did. flew to texas today for the final interview with my top choice company.

excuse me! my flatulence smells of only the finest cotton candy.........and cheddar brats.

fantastic winch. just have to spend an hour or two with it before it goes into the truck if you want to get full potential out of it.
1) put better grease in the gears (easier spooling and cooler runner gears)
2) replace the paper gaskets with rtv, and silicone seal the power cable bolts (fully waterproof winch as a result)
3) replace the small silicone gasket in the solenoid with a fat bead of silicone (fully waterproof solenoid)
4) dielectric grease on all connections (this goes for any winch)

I just sat down with a movie and was done with the above before the movie was even over. probably made about 15 pulls since i got it around christmas, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I'd buy it again.

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks Craig
