Casper's Broken Down old Grumpy Assed Build

Laminex film arrived today for the led pod s I'll use for fogs. And Caliraised side projector ditch lights should be here tomorrow

 

You laying on sofa with Amazon might be dangerous.

 

I ordered the stuff directly from laminex and it was supposed to be here by Tuesday. I called when I got home and they tracked it and said oh it was delivered Monday. They were very nice but I had not seen it so was on way to check neighbors box just in case when I opened ours there it was. Delivered to the wrong address

 

You get them new lights yet?

 

No sir they are suposed to be delivered tomorrow.

 

Told ya it takes a while apparently

 

They sent me notification last Friday I think that my order was processed and shipped. When I didn't see it move on the tracking thing for several days I pm'd and asked. Apparently they will put an order together and create the shipping labels but then it sits and waits for a bulk pick up. I just got my order from Laminex that I placed on the same day and paid for shipping. They tracked it for me and said it was delivered to my house on Monday, which it wasn't. I checked the mail box again and it had been delivered to the wrong address I hope ups doesn't screw this one up.

 

Yikes. Yeah FedEx always drops my packages at the wrong place...

Yeah Caliraised took a while to ship my pods. Ordered a 7.5" last week and it shipped the same day. Got it on Monday and it was missing brackets so now I'm waiting those which are suppose to be delivered tomorrow....

 

I don't mean to sound negative but I hope the quality of their lights is much better than their shipping. I really shouldn't complain since it was free I guess. In your case bing shorted brackets they should have overnighted them

 

Eh price is right for what you get. I ran all Baja design lights on my taco and loved them. This being said, I don't think my crawler should get a grand worth of lights thrown on. So after hearing positive reviews I figured I'd give them a try. So far if it wasn't for them being a good bang for the buck I wouldn't bother anymore.

Also label was created tuesday but brackets didn't ship till yesterday

 

To me I couldnt justify spending crazy money on lights that will be used minimally. I started getting lights this past Christmas a gifts so also wasn't asking for exspensive lights and the plan worked. I have lights on and the bugs worked out so now just have to switch those lights with these. These have to be better than the Eurolife Amazon lights I have on there now and I have been pleased with them. They are getting the Amber laminex films and moved into the fog light position. For now. I figure later I'll get some DOT approved amber fogs and then these will be moved to the rear for additional work lights

 

I'm happy with the product itself, so you should like them as well. I think you get a lot for $89.99 light, or at least more than some of the cheap ones you can snag only. I guess the exchange is just dealing with shipping sometimes. Oh well.

 

Let me knw what you think of the small light bar as I've considered adding one when they have one of their sales if I think I need it. Hell idk between the amber pods and these lights It may be all I need. Really not much night riding here on the east coast. I believe all of the off road parks shut down at night. If I don't really have a use for something Id rather sink the money in something I do. I'd kinda like to get rid of the bed bars and basket now and save for a best top

 

Will definitely let you know. Hoping to get it mounted and wired up this weekend. Yeah only thing left is I need Amber ones for fogs. They work wonders during dusk when hunting.

Like I said tho, I'm fairly pleased with the lights I just mounted. You'll find them to work pretty well for your needs as well

 

Looks good. Although it would be nice to see some more to the mid and trans skid. Mine have a bunch of ribs welded to the underside they're still bent AF but I'd like to think they helped kinda lol... anyways glad to see you're heading in the armour first direction

 

There are some in the t-case skid and I plan on watching the mid If it looks like it's bending I'll add some gussets.At least I got some protection. I do appreciate the time you gave me it was a great help.

 

I ordered a couple of things ie. the lights and wiring harness. But not much. Really the next big thing for me will probably be a best top. I like the bed bars I have and the basket as it's very handy with carrying extra stuff and I welded on mounts for a Hilift. I discovered ,however that since I use my truck still as a truck and haul stuff it's not as practical as I keep having to remove the bars. I believe the best top will function better for my needs as it'll give me a place to keep my hunting gear out of the weather and if I need to haul something taller it can be collapsed quickly. I have also looked at a hard top which I don't believe will work as well either. Dangerous? ha ha yeah I can order the best top from Amazon. I do get acused of over thinking things but I learned with the original suspension to step back and really think it through so I don't loose any money and only have to do it once.

 

@TacoFMS has a bestop for sale

 

I like the best top but I use my headache rack alot.
