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

Back from Arkansas and got my prinsu rack in finally!! Good ole ups Santa never lets me down. Gotta pick up the new rear bumper tomorrow too!!!

 

Moving quick!

 

Nice! wish my bumper was being delivered tomorrow. Still have 1 month or so to wait.

 

Trying to but there is so much left.

 

To bad mine is one of the last things I’ll probably be putting on though. Don’t wanna put it on till I get fenders and don’t wanna get fenders till I get my long travel. Got a hell of a deal on it is the only reason I went ahead and got it.

 

I wouldnt be able to wait if I had it in my possession. I may end up paying to get it installed since its probably going to be cold out and I need a better cutting wheel/tool for when i get mine. Then again I'm cheap, broke and wanting more parts so we'll see what ends up happening.

 

Is yours a high clearance?

 

yup!

 

Going to look sweet and be pretty damn awesome at camp!

 

It will! I almost got the camp light but figured I could set up a cheaper light option so I saved a few $$$. I still need to pick up some jerry cans, d-rings and figure out my rear camera relocation to the swing out. I am not willing to give up the reverse camera with my lack of flexibilty.

 

Yea a camp light would be an easy setup honestly, a simple monopod and a cheap flood light would work pretty well.

 

Yup. Having a light above the grill/stove will be helpful in cooking food right!

 

It sure is. That is like the main reason I got the ARB adventure light, so I could hang it from the rear glass of the shell and cook off the tailgate.

 

I am suffering from non-buyers-remorse. Could have bought a leer shell gor $225 and didn’t.

Pros: shell for $225. Could sell for profit if never used.

Cons: 11 hour round trip. Don’t actually need one. Was different color.

Sane me said don’t buy, so I didn’t, but now less than sane me can’t stop thinking about it.

 

This works amazingly!

Happens to the best of us!

I have a headlamp as well that works pretty dang good!

But more lights on the truck gets you more cool points right?

 

I currently use a headlamp for cooking when camping. Marketing got me and when I saw the option i thought "oooh that would be nice!" then I saw my total with every option and decided I could do something just as good for cheaper.

 

My truck battery does not like this cold weather. Might be time to replace after 4.5 years? Or should it last longer than that?

What’s the go to replacement? Optima yellow top 27F?

 

At 4.5 yrs I would probably replace it before it completely craps out. Theres a few options besides Optima like Odyssey and Northstar, I've read good and bad reviews/experiences on all of them.

 

When i had to replace mine, I ended up doing the stock battery from Toyota as it was about the same price as the others and the warranty was better on it...
