DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Been waiting for this post. Great seeing your truck back to how it should look!

 

The hook on the winch line needs to be replaced, it is massive... anyone have any recommendations, other than factor55??

 

Thanks for your help man! Probably would have sat a little while longer if you hadnt helped out.

 

Happy to help. It was lighter than I was expecting!

 

Hoping that Barnwell will allow Fireworks this weekend as well...

Unless I gave it to someone else, I can't remember, will have to check when i get home.

Factor55 is the recommendation...

 

I don't know of another common option than Factor55 but I would go with a FlatLink instead of the ProLink.

f55 flatlink expert all the way

 

If you asked me three weeks ago, yes. Current one pooped out on me and trying to figure out a replacement, sorry.

 

Ok so i think that i will hold on to the hook for a bit, there is no way that i am buying a $150+ dollar hook before i get a fuse block...

 

SWITCHPRO!!!!

DOOOO IIIITTTTT

 

Hooks kill people

 

yeah well so do bees! and FUCK BEES!

 

Call them. When i got mine at the offroad show, it was the last one and my buddy called them and they sold one to him one for 120, event pricing

 

SwitchPro is awesome, but so is getting exactly the rocker switches you want at about half the price (but double or more the work)

 

Damn, I forget to check that out. I have the same pieces to install just haven't gotten to it yet.

 

Did you end up getting alluminum? I am hoping to get front and rear by the end of the year and am still torn between relentless or pelfrey, seeing these is helping me make my mind up (for the front at least.) Looks great, super . Glad u didn't paint it white.

 

After last night's late-night (actually early AM) drive back from the middle-o-no-where, I'm going to need to figure out some sort of upgrade for the PIAA 520's I've got behind the grill. Between the grill blocking some light and the '55w = 110w' blubs in the housings now I'm really not getting the light throw I want down the road. Flip on the Rigid D2 floods and the front and sides of the truck are lit up like a landing strip, but I want to get extra light further down the road for when running at 60mph. (final roadside critter count I noticed thanks to the D2's last night was 2 deer, 2 coyotes, a couple cats, and what I assume was a possum, a couple rabbits, and probably 5 owls. - and that doesn't count the long horns or 3 deer I saw before sunset on my drive in.)

 

I really like the Pelfrey front, but not a fan of the rear after seeing a few in person compared to my Brute Force Fab. Just sayin. Then again, I like being the odd-man-out with different stuff, so no, don't go that route.
