la0d0g's rig

nice. that'll be my next battery.

 

I like the extra posts. It'll help clean up my clusterfuck birds nest wiring mess

 

these help too.

 

What are the holes for? I'm confused...

 

To put the wires in, instead of each wire having a lug.

 

that's how you attach all of th cables. insert into the hole and lock it in with the set screw. that way you're not using a bunch or crimp terminals on the clamp bolt for all of your little stuff.

 

Thanks for explaining. I need some

 

Sky High Car Audio in Sparks has some nice ones. That's who I went to for all my heavy gauge wire when I did my winch, pretty awesome pricing too. Eric has there contact info.

 

audio cable is great because they use such thin strands. only thing to be careful of is that audio cable typically doesn't have as durable of a shield. no problem, as long as you wrap or protect it in some whay wherever it contacts a sharp edge or has potential to continually rub against a surface.

 

Thanks for the info gents! I guess I know where I'm going today

 

I used house 3 gauge cable for my fuse box from Home Depot, way cheaper but best of all you bend it and it stays whatever shape you want.

 

Good to know, thanks!

 

Got a couple things knocked off the list this weekend. Then realize my registration is due tomorrow. Off to get a smog

Buff out rust and paint sliders
Top off fluids
Get CB tuned
If not able to get tuned, run CB antenna from back
Install bed lights - complete
Bend d-ring holders and install scepter can holder
Clean dirt from rail and tighten t-case skid bolts
New battery - complete
smog and register

 

Couple pics of the battery and tray

 

Josh - did that piece get to you?

 

Got a few more things checked off the list. I had the ground for my CB antenna touching the lead essentially just negating the whole thing . I guess when I originally installed it I was just f'n up the tuning and didn't need to add a ground cable. Anyway, all fixed now. Only a couple more things to take care of before the trip.

Yeah, its nice to be able to start my truck again

 

Here are some pics of the truck from our overland Nevada trip last week. You can check out all the details and see all the photos here. The last three pictures were taken by TJ (skidooman) and that's why they're so much better
I wish we were still out there ramblin around...
