I can help you knock that out in no time

 

not sure I'm gonna make it saturday, so @h.zack801 you'll be sitting on the floor if I dont

 

I'll be sitting on my tailgate or in my passenger seat with a 30 rack. I am doing limited wrenching this go-round. lol

 

Who all am I helping wire stuff up? @JKU3000 , @TacoLean , ???? Need to know what all yall have and what I need to bring to make these installs simple and fast.

 

Do you have a dremel to cut bumper? I have a small one. Also do you have any 4 gauge wire or can I just get some from lower? @BAMATOY

 

LMAO, that's awesome! But, bring that just in case I brain fart and forget. I know Brian has some though. I think I have a pretty full set of connectors and 14-16ga wire for yours. Might wanna stop by and grab another spool of wire just in case. I know I have all the snips and crimps we will need for yours.

Yes I have a dremel tool I can bring. I will have to check and see how many metal cutting blades I have, may have to grab some of them. I do not have any 4 gauge (waterhose) wire. Not sure what your light bar recommends wire size but I would assume it needs 10-12 or at least something a bit more stout than what I have. Good news though, I found my templates (masking tape) for the pod lights so we are good to go there. One thing I was thinking and hoping maybe one of our "seasoned" members (@TacoAlaMode @Davtopgun ) will chime in here. But with your rear bumper being metal(chrome), I would thinking we need to at least paint the inner edges of the holes we cut out to try to prevent any rust that may occur down the road.

 

@BAMATOY do you have wire/connectors to do the last like 4 feet of my cb power lines to the battery?? It was just a bit too short to make it.

 

I think I do, I will check when I get home. What gauge was that wire again?

 

I always paint metal after cutting. We do tend to have rust problems on these trucks.

 

I don't have a clue. It's the wire that came connected to my cb haha. Just small red and black, maybe 20 gauge?

 

I will bring what I have and worst case scenario we run down to O'Reillys...I think we will have a few extra trucks there, haha

 

Hell mine will be drivable lol. I'm gonna knock my bed supports out then try and get that little bit done and that's it for me.

 

@Bama Toy yea man I'm bringing some spray paint! My bumper is black. 4 gauge wire is for aux fuse box

 

Just found out I have to work Saturday, want be able to be there. Maybe next time...

 

Damn I'm back to the only first gen

 

what are we doing for lunch? convoying to a good place or should i thaw some ribs

 

Maybe not, still trying to make it.

 

At the rate turd gens are coming in, us second gens are going to be in the same boat in a couple years.

 

Then all the mod meets will be for fixing your truck, rather than upgrading it.
