Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I did get to 4wheel a 20 ton cal fire rig though! Not a yota but they're on 42s and had a turbo and 500 gallons of water, left foot braking while right is holding boost made it suprisingly easy

 

The only problem with @Fernando ‘s truck is the driver

 

I'll replace wheel bearings when they need replacing. Stock CV axles and I carry 2 spares when I wheel. Thought about RCVs, but hell no am I spending 3k on CV axles. I could build a Sterling 10.5 with that money. 4.10 diffs, but I have an Inchworm 4.7 crawler about to go in the truck so that'll make a huge difference, might regear to 4.88s when I put the front locker in, but we'll see.

I wasn't going to say it, but ya. Mr Hammer down has a probably with NOT hammering down

 

I like the look of the filled in top plate. You going to rattle can them? Plan on 1.5 cans of primer and 2 cans of paint each. It's amazing all the nooks and crannies there are on the underside.

 

I followed the instructions for the dimming feature but it didn't work, I realized I didn't care enough about it to pull the wiring and try again.

 

@bagleboy would know. He talked me through it before. I can try to dig up the thread if he doesn't chime in before.

 

I tried before, but didn't source both wires. I'll be giving it another shot tomorrow with @EDDO's idea.

 

Mine do. Followed the same steps eddo mentioned.

 

Eddo already covered it a post or two later but I just followed the flyeze instructions for locating the wires behind the hvac controls on my '14. Solid geen is illumination plus, green/white is variable ground. The only tricky thing I changed was the value of the resistors that sets the max illumination and swapping out some leds to match colors. Every switch maker seems to use a different value from 1k to 3k and for me 10k or more is a better match. Some depends on the amount of laser etching or whether there's an actual window to pass the light.

 

Glad those springs can live on.

 

Oops, didn't see Eddo already answered. Thanks man.

 

No problem, smurf mods like this are the easy ones.

 

Only issue is i drive like i stole it. 35s or bust! Do it!

Pshhhhhhhhh! Paaalease!

 

Probably not until winter to do 35s. I have a couple small things I want to do to the truck before Summer and then I'm not touching the truck again until Winter when I get some of the big projects done.

 

Who can help steer me in the right direction for programming my

$63 Baofeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery

Baofeng BF-F8HP? I've got the cable and CHIRP working fine. Is there a file I can use to get the right channels?

 

Danke

 

Thanks! They came out better than I expected! Yeah just going to rattle can them. That's good enough for me

 

I had my 45 in hand when I finally opened the tent. Bear was long gone. Grabbed food and split. My yelling get out of here worked I guess.
