Oregon and Washington BS thread

I posted about making one recently. It costs about 130 for one as all bulk purchases, and then drops significanly to I think 100 ea if you buy mats for 2

 

lol, I think I saw that, but I got distracted with all the PRON talk. Are you ordering from WagonGear too? I would rather get them pre-assembled from them. I'm def. interested once I get caught up on other things and have the funds to get back in "Mod Mode"

I'm so OCD about wiring, but I am completely naive to why I need relays and how to add them. I have a very basic understanding, but I think some people are TOO cautious and add a relay to everything, even though it is not necessary.

The only things that are in my cab and switched:
- LED light bar, 2.4amp draw, connected to a 40amp switch with 12AWG
- CB Radio, 1.4amp draw, fused and wired with 14AWG
- ICOM 2M Radio, 14amp draw, double-fused (Pos & Neg) with 12AWG. Specifically specifies to NOT use a relay.

 

Waytek carries all the parts. I plan to do my own assembly.

 

I missed that post too somehow. Is there a Bussman that accommodates more accessories? I'm going to go ahead and throw a relay on everything just to be safe and I only want to have one fuse box. CB, reverse light, front lights, led bar, siren, air compressor, line lock, annnnd I know there are is something I'm forgetting. Plus it will be nice to have room to add accessories in the future.

 

There is a 10unit

 

Thanks for the info Cody!

I couldn't find the (10) Relay unit. Here are some addtl. spec sheets & Diagrams:

EDIT - looks like Littelfuse has a PDU option as well (45990 / 45995). Need to research more to see how many Micro Relays ad Fuses it can hold.

 

Post up some weld shots, curious as to whether it's MIG or TIG.

Looks good.. How is it fastened to your bed; just bolted through the bed caps?

1.5" DOM/HREW?

 

My mind is full of fuck this day!!!!

My neighbor (who has been a good buddy and he's cool as fuck) is on his way to prison!!!

I had a friend back in the day get me going on MMA but I had so much shit going on I let it go. So Gerald (my neighbor buddy) was gonna get me back into MMA.
WELL!!!!!!! Not anymore.

What he did was complete bullshit on his part. I hate to say it cuz he's a great dude but damn!!!!

With his skills (Marines and MMA) he could of made this go anyway he absolutely wanted ..........but I have a feeling his emotions got the best of him. Gerald could have made the old guy (or any other guy for that matter) his bitch really!!! STUPID!!!

Mig welded, 2 bolts each foot and HREW.

 

Any weld pics? Always like to see other people's technique..

 

Those new reports seem entirely ambiguous.. I think it's fairly clear that there's much more to the story than what's being reported on.

Sounds like he was running around town with an AR ready to rock and roll..

Did notice how the Washington Times called in a ".223 Caliber Semi-Auto", rather than an "Assault Rifle".. That's surprising.

I hope that more facts come to light throughout his trial; but, I'm sure it definitely hits (literally) close to home.

 

That sucks - only two people were at the scene and now ones dead, so who knows what exactly happened there.

Personally if another guy in a car said he had a weapon and threatened to kill me - I'd probably shoot him. Little but of preemptive attack

 

on my way to bend soon. Spoon93, Bobby let me know he had to cover the show until 3PM.

 

Probably a good time to start discussing the Lost Corner Exploration trip. I started a thread for it here.

 

Well since i have two - selling one, it's also listed on craigslist.

If anyone's interested let me know.
Dana 44 Wagoneer 1981-1985. Complete with drag link etc. $300

 

FREE TO A GOOD HOME

Just this afternoon I did the Tailgate Hose Clamp Mod. I got the #20 clamp as part of a set of 2 from Lowes for $2 and a used bike tube for the price of free from the local bike shop. Since I only needed 1 clamp and a few inches of tubing, I now have leftover parts.

I am in McMinnville and come to Portland or Salem semi-regularly so if anyone wants the leftovers to do this to your ride, let me know. We can either arrange a pick-up in my area or in Portland or Salem some weekend. I would prefer not to mail them.

 

i finally ordered new tires for myself. 5 new tires on Amazon for $840 shipped. Hankook Dynapro ATM rf10 in 265/75/16. they aren't the heavy set, but they are still rated to carry more weight than my existing tires. i used my spare once for about 40 miles, then hid it again under the bed.

 

I'll just leave this here...

 

Can I have one? Or both? Though I don't have much use for the shocks.

 

Think I found the 10 unit.
