Cheap/Free Mods

It's the black it just turned out dark gray like that.. Not sure what to suggest lol

 

Forgot to quote you

 

Did this last night. Haven't read the whole thread but would recommend about 30 seconds with a metal file on the lock rings if anyone decides to knock the washer down instead of cutting.

 

Dremel works well too.

 

You did good , I like the look , just haven't got the nerve up to try it yet

 

Note, this is to piercedtiger on the foglight mod. I just did this today on mine and it works great. I have the 2015 and the relay is in a different box so I just ran a wire out the bottom of one box into the bottom of the other one and spliced in to the green wire and one to the bent relay tab. Works like a charm. Someone else posted a video of this for the 2013 to 15 models, might have been your video, I don't know because I'm having trouble navigating this site on my ipad. But thanks for the info!

 

Shovel, Hi Lift, Axe, and pretty much whatever else you want bed track brackets.

Items needed.
7in flat stock. (x2 per object being held).
Bolts washers and nylocks. For the washers I recommend a heavier duty type just incase of over torqueing the bolts. (x4 per object).
Quick Fist's (x2 per object).
*For Hi Lift x2 wing nuts and x2 washers will be necessary.

Tools needed.
Very small wrench to fit inside of track to hold bolts. 7/16 wrench fits perfectly and you can get it out easy as well.
Ratchet (recommend).
Scribes (HIGHLY recommend).
Hands (they may be necessary for this project).
Measurements
On the flat stock these are just the measurements I did. They have a little slack on the bottom of the Quick Fists so you wont catch your fingers on the metal. The tops sit about flush with the top of the bed not the track itself. Also for the Hi Lift it is based on mine which may not be the same as yours. (refer to pictures for actual measurements)

Installation
Quite simple really, in the notches where the tie down brackets lock into place, put a bolt with washer on the inside of the track. A piece of flat stock on the outside. With a scribe place a small wrench inside the track itself and line it up on the bolt and tighten that flat stock up! Quick Fists placed on the bottom and tighten them up! *For the Hi lift just use wing nuts instead of Quick Fists, but Quick Fists could also work. What I did was put the bottom of the Hi Lift on the wheel well and lifted the other end up just a bit.
Price Original Quick Fists- $10 for 2. The rest I just had laying around... but it is all cheap stuff! http://www.endroad.com/index.php/quick-fist-mounts.html




I know its not the best write up but take a look at the pics and you shoud be able to figure it out!

 

Great idea. Would be good for use with a tonneau cover.

 

I have learned that 1" carriage bolts work really well inside the track, that way you wouldn't need a wrench to hold the bolt inside the track.

 

Top cross bar rack i made pretty cheap and easy

 

Still need to paint it hope you guys find it helpful

 

Pretty neat. I think I have a few of those locks like that

 

Yeah you can sometimes get them free from gander mountain

 

Cool. I may do something like that. Oh and I see that fat-boy Harley sticker.

 

Was there a write up on replacing the two over head lights in the cab as well as the door light with LEDs in this thread?

I've searched LEDs and get all head lights and tail / trail lights.

 

Once you buy the leds for it it's a simple swap out with a fine tip screw driver

 

Thanks!!

 

No problem
