Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

damn it, i might keep mine now and get white pods.... red was a stupid impulse buy that i thought would look cool!

i just want to wire them to a switch though

 

shots of the bullet lights all lit up.

bright enough for legality purposes, but doesn't put out a damn spotlight like the last one i had. they are a little brighter in person, but these are only cell phone pictures.

 

i won't use the strobe or music feature all too often, but it's cool to have. i do think i'll use the remote a fair bit though.

 

Just a heads up the remote is really temperamental lol

 

range wise, or it just doesn't work?

 

i cut half my pinch weld then took a lump hammer to fold the remaining over then a 8lb sledge to finish the job and some of the inner fender as well no rubby rub anywhere the bora's i bought off a memebr but im 99% youll have them in less then 2weeks plus youll want 2in spacers in rear even after you lt for track width front to rear and youll sell the fronts if you dont use them fast on here

 

gonna be a lot of trial and error with the front i guess lol. I'm just now getting outside to work on the truck since it rained all morning.

by the time my order would go through to bora on tuesday, because of the holiday, i am only guaranteed another week and a half here, so i'll have to wait until i hear further before i buy spacers. i'll probably end up leaving the rear as is, or even take off the spiders i have on now. the extra track width is going to wreak havoc on my bedsides without a bodylift like yours. a narrower width will allow the tires to tuck inside the bedsides better (in theory). If i go with glass or a tube bed like i would like to do down the road that will all change.

next two milestones will be wednesday when the tires go on, and then shortly after that, when i find out where i'm headed for work and can start ordering what i need again.

 

Rock lights are done. Pictures to come later tonight when i get some night shots.

also installed the Salex organizer today. awesome little product. best $20 i've spent in a while.

i have the exact same stuff in both pictures, no more, no less.

 

I should do that....

 

thats a good idea...just ordered one haha hopefully i will actually be able to find stuff now

 

great product. I would order the center console version as well, but with my streamlight mount/charger in there and some other larger items, it would just cause more issues. but based on the fit and finish of this glove box one, if i didn't have large stuff in the center console, i'd order one tonight

 

nice

 

John, how was wheeling with the SUVs? They able to keep up with you?

 

lol...i had to leave unexpectedly due to family stuff so i didnt wheel i went out in the rain with them for a couple hours to spot and pull cable ...nasty nasty huge ledge hill climbs in greasy muddy rain soaked hills....all rigs were on 37's or bigger,,,pitbulls,ltb's,crawlers etc......locked cased and geared....way outta my league but awesome people and great time...hope to spend a weekend wheeling with them at somepoint

 

nice, where'd yall head out to?

 

private land that a few select clubs have access too...owner is super nice....evilsti is 5min from him and goes there often as there neighbors but half the trails are a winch fest for us but beautiful land to be on none the less

 

exactly why you get in good with all of the local clubs

If/when i get up to MD i'll have to get you down to The Cove.

 

there going there in sept or oct.....gotham city land cruisers (GCLC)

 

definitely go with them if you have the chance. I like it there even more than Rausch.

 

really? wow.......ill find out the dates and maybe you can make it ?
