bennett707s bs build

Nah, he saw it and wanted it just like you haha

Yeah, that's why I did it now haha I only have 3 accessories right now.

You're telling me! I priced what it would cost for all the parts for my dual battery upgrade. $1,025!

 

I was lookin at it before I knew he had purchased one, when he did I was able to decide whether to build my own or not which was a toss up. I decided to purchase it built like brent did. His set up / testimonial did help seal the deal.

 

I'm in the middle about purchasing more electrical accessories, when I pull the trigger on a fuse box later on I'll probably blow a budget and a half filling it so I'm trying to stay away from it currently, gotta get my tires and legit lift first

Definitely one of the cleanest I've seen

 

Nothing is crazy expensive. But nothing is cheap. And so many parts can be added etc that just add to expenses.

 

One thing I wish I would have done differently though is run a single plug like this. Right now everything is hard wired from the relay to the switches... Won't be hard to fix though.

 

I plan on having plugs similar to the HID/headlight plugs. A single plug would be good for the switches thouhh.

 

Yeah, my one accessory (Rigid D2's) has one of those connectors about halfway between the relay and lights. I'll definitely do that for all of the accessories.

 

It all adds up in the end, I just have a hard time deciding what to spend it on I guess because for the same price after adding expenses I could buy a bumper, guns, camping hear, etc. instead... So much want so little monies

 

Haha yup.

I've decided that next is maintenance, then armor, then electrical upgrade, then I'll begin buying lights.

 

That was the biggest reason it was such a toss up on having him build it. I do want plugs etc and I could do plugs n loom for his price in bulk.
Until shipping fucked me. Lol. Canceled my order when they tacked it on.

 

Yeah, shipping is a little extreme.... Haha

 

I was pretty random with mods before. But now that I have a goal what I want to do with the truck and how I want to complement what I do its been easy to narrow down what's next.

 

Haha yeah.

I've decided that if I ever do another build I will be getting armor before anything else. Then electrical upgrade, then lift and tires....

 

That's how I am now I guess, just kinda buying shit as I go along, I need a new sound system and would like some little electrical upgrades in my cab but if I'm wanting to wheel it in Colorado sometime down the road in a couple years I'm just going to have to suffer my sound system and buy armor

Edit: he did a nice job of shortening it up for me

 

What happened to the elite bumper you had on? Don't recall reading about reason it's off

 

It was one of Tim's first builds and was intended for an 98-00. The light bar was mounted too far back without room to reweld it so it pressed against my grill. Literally couldn't get it to bolt properly due to it smashing my front end had to have someone drag the torch to lengthen the bolt hole to even mount the bumper. Was twice as bummed when tim told me he'd replace it then decided I needed to sell it and buy a new one. And that's pretty much why I never bought another lol. I got a great deal on it and then had to sell at a even better deal to the next person due to something undisclosed/unknown when I purchased it.

 

Dang that sucks.... Plan on buying another one some day?

I'm hoping to order one after I replace my cv's. Hopefully the whole 5-9 month wait ordeal will be taken care of by then....

 

Ya I was pretty bummed when he told me that he changed his mind on building me one to replace it.
Shit happens. I may buy another, if he ever catches up... I hate seeing him slaughtered like he is but he didn't really treat me great either. I held onto the bumper for 3 solid weeks under thr impressiom he was replacing it while waiting for him to message me. And this was months before his last gb.
I hope he continues but to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't take orders for a while after he finishes the outstanding orders.

 

picked up a diehard platinum from sears, size 35. OTD paid $148. Lots of coupons and deals involved, but I feel pretty good about the price. love the 4yr warranty

 

Been over a year sense I have seen my truck without my pops decal on it.




I forgot how much I liked it without the decal
