Blue Overland Build

passed you in my unmarked today on 9, truck is looking stout!

 

Yeah man, I'll try to nap some pics tomorrow for ya

Haha i saw your truck today too parked near the dentist office.. Barely see your truck on the streets anymore, guess you drive the DD a lot

 

Nice build! Are you in south Jersey? Would love to meet up with some NJ TWer's for some wheeling.

 

Here's the pics you asked for.. for the bar, i just drilled through the bumper and bolted it down really tight. hasn't moved a bit. The fog lights took a little bit on engineering because the ARB fogs mount on the side and the pods mount on the bottom. I wound up using bolts and "L" brackets to make sort of a custom cradle mount.
The LED Light Bar:

The LED Pods Mounted:

Yeah im in Barnegat, but i'll be back at school soon down near hamilton soon. The NJ thread has a lot of members and we try to wheel as much as we can

 

Nice build! How has using your RTT on top of the shell worked out? Any concerns with weight?

 

Cool thanks man that was exactly the kind of pics I was looking for

 

At first i was a little concerned, but plenty of guys run the RTT on a shell. When its open, a lot of weight is also being supporting by the ladder, not just the shell. When we sleep, we put our heads at the ladder end and feet towards the shell, making most of our weight being supported by the ladder end. I like it being on the shell a lot, although i will have a new setup for the summer and warmer weather that i will try out with bed bars so we'll see which one is better haha

No problem

 

Changed out my ARB indicator lights today with some ARB LED indicators. These are WAYYYY nicer then the old ones and are made much better for water/dirt/dust/grime etc.. After constantly changing bulbs when water would get in, one of the indicator lights actually melted from the heat and that was the last straw haha



This is a comparison of the old vs new lights.. Notice no more amber refection lenses which makes more a better look IMO


Installed and turned on

 

Dang those are bright

 

I know!! A lot brighter then the other ones haha

 

Are the new indicators plug and play? Also where did you find the amber covers for the light bars? Thanks

 

The indicators are basically the same wiring set ip as the old ones. All you have to do is splice into the wires that you want to power the lights. I chose to use them as a DTRL setup because i don't see the need for 2 blinkers. And for the amber covers, i got them off of superbrightled's website. The bar is more yellowish then amber when turned on, mostly got the covers for everyday driving protection from any rocks and debris, and also for fog and snow.

 

Sweet I'll have to pick some of those covers up for a 42". I'm guessing they're universal?

 

Yeah pretty much, just make sure they are for the double row bars and then order as many as you need

 

Gorgeous truck man! Love the way its going! Hitting you up with da IG follow cuz that's where the cool trucks are at

 

Thank man!! Gave you a follow on the IG too haha, you got a sweet truck!
