    So question I’ve always wondered. Do you all make way more up there but the cost of living is so much different than here that there would be a 300.00 price difference ? In other words it cancels its self out so you’re really paying the same amount we are ?

    Got a link for the trim lock you ordered ? I still need to cover my rear where I cut for my high clearance and that cheap auto zone crap didn’t last but a few days.

    Forsure glad I reminded you about 4wp. Then you can go in and say "why do you sell this piece of shit?" If it fucks up on you. After the Rona quites fuckin around. 4wp is closed out here in California. So I'm wondering, can synthetic line be used for pulling trees out of the ground and stuff? I would think that would fray the line.

    I have seen synthetic line stand up to quite a bit of punishment. also a lot easier to splice back together if it ever did snap on you. I wanted the weight savings it offers as well.

    You're not being a PIA. All of the lights are on it and functional but I made a comment that there are fuse holders everywhere under the hood and that is a PIA, not to mention ugly.

    And then I made a few recommendations on supporting such a amperage draw. At that point the offroad shop owner took over and made some phone calls. He found a guy that repairs alternators and such. I don't know the specifics of it yet because I haven't seen or installed it yet. I know it's a alternator for a Dodge diesel truck that has a different pulley on it. I was told the guy also increases the output to the mid 200's.

    Tomorrow it goes to a dyno shop first (supercharged gas engine), then I install the alternator, next up is some power driven steps,, and then I'm installing the fuse block that I'm going to build tonight after I get my lazy ___ off the internet. It's the second trip to the dyno because during the first run the serpentine belt blew apart. There's some Baja Designs LED's in the front bumpers corners behind the bumper. That glare in the picture stinks...

    Idk what happened but I took pictures of the back but I can't find them. There's a couple more pods in the rear bumper and the LED's I previously posted.

    The owner drives through heavy fog often.

Picked up a set of covers today that I have had my eye on for a while. Easy 2-3 hours install (some of which was cleaning the scrubbing the carpets after seat removal. I figured 4 - 14mm bolts and a few electrical plugs would be easier than trying to fight getting them on while inside the cab. 145 cash for both fronts. quality and fit is top notch. Super supportive on the back and locks me into place.

    Rather than wrap the winch line around the tree I would try using a choker chain (I think that's the right name) and then attach the winch line to that.

    Sweet !! tnx..sounds like a project for sure..sounds like some serious coin invested, and a nice rig in the making....I get the feeling that few folks really understand the big picture when elec is involved when upgrades are done , not the case here, I'm always interested in what others are doing, for my own knowledge and use on my truck, and general purposes...retired Utility plant op/mgr, just enuf elec skills to be dangerous :rofl:

    Yesterday I installed the 2019 OR struts I bought off @dmurph1996 onto my SR5 w/ 92k- big difference in ride quality and gained 3/4" of height in the front. Definitely the cheapest lift you can buy ha. A lot easier than the rear shocks since nothing was seized although i did drop a 14mm socket behind the shock mount and it is now part of the truck apparently.
