Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Told him what??

And yea..in theory at first looks you bet it is.

I mean lets break it down.

Paul's rig is fucking dope. But. He paid for everything didn't really do much himself.

Adam has done a ton of custom work!! So worth in my eyes still

Joey has also done lots of custom home built work. Also worthy.

Forrest's rig is basic but well loved.

Mine..ya..kinda a mix. Paid for most all my armor..but have pour plenty f stupid man hours into it...

Idk. I think Adam is gonna get my vote. He builds his own stuff. Seems like a stand up guy. Works his ass off. And wheels hard.

But idk..might not vote..seriously..so tight..

My buddy is giving me his 6 LED rocklights, gonna install those with the door lights (dome operated), block and relay when I'm up in OR. Pics from the beach to follow
I was thinkin, of a kill switch for the ignition, but I have to research exactly where to wire it into. I'm sure I could do the circuit and switch were no one would ever be able to figure it out. Maybe the hot wire from the ignition relay to the starter solenoid, hang another relay on it wired to a switch behind the coin tray, or, if I could get to the dimmer switch on the dash lights, maybe wire the dash lights with no dimmer and wire the kill switch to it, you have to turn the dimmer switch up all the way before the truck will start, bet no one would think of that. A thief would be feeling around under the dash and under the seats for a kill switch but it's not there.
I'm probably over thinkin this but I was wondering if there was some way to isolate the power to the radio and put another relay in front of the primary battery. If I had to park the truck for awhile there would be no drain on it at all.

Yeah I'm over thinking all this but you know what? If you don't know exactly which switches to hit and where, the truck stays put.

 

Haha fair enough. You have a oer thread or something I should be stalking

For a kill switch I'd just intercept the power wire r even better then ground wire of the starter. Just put a relay on that.

If your a manual tho I'd do it on the power wire to the ecu. Resets the ecu which isn't great..but then they can't push start it if your really worried.

Radio like the headunit itself?? I have all amps so they go n my aux battery. The hu doesn't pull enough to really worry about it. But ya just run the power wire from it to the aux battery. Which if its a stock radio will take a but of effort. But mine is aftermarket so I know I could do it fairly easy.

For the primary battery. I'd go get a big 150a breaker like so.



Put it on the ground cable and mount the breaker in the fender well like I did. Battery hides it great. But you can still hit the switch amd reset it. Just pop off the breaker when you don't want to take the chance.

You'd have to run the other grounds to the body, starter, frame and motor off the post of the breaker. Or you could get a distribution block for a cleaner look.

 

I got an auto tranny . The alternator is a 160, so should probably put a 200 breaker if I'm going that route, Im not worried about resetting the ECU, that doesn't bother me, I was thinkin of being able to keep the presets in the radio when I pull the primary offline.

 

Waaa??

Ya the radio is why not to just put it on the fuse box main power cable. You'd have to find just the ecu power post fuse box. Probably only need a 10-20amp breaker for it

Oh ya you'd want a 200 then. Idk if you can find those tho..

 

Fucking iPad..

Other thread

 

I never did that so have fun with it haha

 

lol, you know how many fuckin wires there are to the ECU???? Dozens! I have the huge PDF repair manual on this truck, maybe dig into that fucker and find what i want.


I know, for a kill switch, I saw some magnetic switches at the electronics store the other day, muhahahaha! Ok, mount the switch itself inside the dash somewhere mounted facing some part of the dash or maybe the underside of the coin tray bottom left of the steering column or in the center console somewhere, a hah! Under the coin tray next to the shifter! You would need a magnet to start the truck! I get in, toss the magnet into the coin tray and away I go!

 

pure sexy time right here

 

Do it haha

Nah there is pin out diagrams somewhere. Would be easy to find the power wire really.

That's twin charging FYI.

But sick yes.

But that's alllllll bug money right there..so..kinda hypocritical of you haha

 

Had fun yesterday!

 

The ones near American Falls. They are only like 30 minutes from Poky.

Me too haha When I landed my last jump yesterday, I got a CEL for "throttle body stuck open" and the throttle was acting weird but everything else was normal. Shut off the truck and restarted it and CEL was gone and everything has been fine since. I imagine some things are minorly tweaked here and there, but nothing is noticeably damaged.

I tried third once and it was bouncing off the rev limiter, so forth gear and I am like always tapped on all of that stuff! haha

I am the opposite of photogenic... I have my eyes closed in 90% of the pics taken of me... If the camera flashes you can bet my eyes with be closed for that pic too...

Yeah we did!!

 

"It doesn't look broken!" Haha

 

got a quote to ship my truck from Edmonton to Denver 1680 before fuel surcharge!!! and 10 to 14 days delivery holy FACK

but thats with all my camping gear in the truck and everything I would need just to wheel

 

Damn!!

 

yah 1680 is half of what id gain in income, but still is it worth it to ship my truck so I can reduce driving time by 3/4's ugh.... disgusted by that

Ill keep asking around I guess

 

He's going to Moab in october, I think.

and, Monte could do that. with his stock DC.

 

I've been slacking. I'm not coming!

Problem with doing school at your office is that everyone thinks you're here to work, so they bug you with all the IT requests.

I need a sign: OUT OF MIND! BACK LATER!

 

i could in theory ship my truck before I go to work on the 29th, have it sitting in denver waiting for me on the 13th and than I would be off to the races to catch you guys on the trail
