MrGrimm's Mall Crawler

masterpull also has thimble stops for same price...basically same design as viking

 

Thank you, I knew there was another very similar!

 

My Demello bumper makes my Viking thimble stick out kinda weird. But the Viking thimble is great. The factor 55 one is more for looks. Looks shiny and colourful, but it's not as functional. Using a shackle on a shackle is sketchy.

 

and speaking of Viking, got my fairlead in today

 

Should have my safety thimble in the next few days thanks to fellow TW members!

 

Sorry Dean....just buggin ya hahaha

Any luck shipping out the vest?

 

It should be there any day now.

 

Ocotillo

 

Looks great!

 

Looking awesome as always man. Your build always inspires me

 

Such a beast monster looking rig. Hopefully I'm able to wheel with ya one day.

 

Incredible ride. Nicely done!

 

What kind of containers are those on the roof? They look stout.

 

They look to be Pelican's. And yes they're very rugged.

 

This was a bit of a shakedown to get ready for the Mojave Road. Still waiting on my battery tray to finish up the dual battery system. The rear suspension needs some work. The Timbren's gotta go. Shackle flip, pelfreybilts bump kit, icon bumps and some longer icon 2.5 shocks should do it.

Yea one of these days! How's the new truck? The containers are Pelican cases.

 

I like the pelican cases. Price point though always kills me. Had a few dozen of the pelican cases in various sizes. They 'disappeared' recently. Not really sure what happened to them. Wife might have tossed them, or people borrowing them forgot to return, or they were blatently stolen../.

I found a couple of cases to repurpose. http://www.plaber.com/cases.htm

Had to plastic weld some holes and other stuff. but for the price of $25 each used from a local. It was worth it. Compared at several hundred new.

FYI anyone wanting great cases at a discount. Check your local CL or the governmentliquidators site. There is always someone selling them . Holes are no issue with a hot glue gun, some duct tape, razor blade, and a little patience.

 

Sweet winch setup! What made you go with the Superwinch vs a Warn?

 

I get most of mine from Craigslist. I picked up two of the giant ones for $80. $40 for a case that retails $500 isn't bad at all! My work was throng out a bunch of the smaller ones. I snagged a couple up. One I use as a pistol case, the other I painted red and now that is the first air kit up on top of the truck.

 

There was a 40% sale and that's why I went with the Superwinch. It was still an $800 winch but it is completely sealed, and already comes with the synthetic rope. Warn and Superwinch are the same in my eyes as far as quality.

 

Oh snap! Is that still on-going?
