I emailed them.

 

Bed rack and basket are done. I had all the metal on hand, only thing I had to buy was the hardware and some paint. Still need to add some sort of tie down location on the basket(this will hold storage totes on our road trip), but otherwise I call it done.

Anybody in this thread know of a tuning shop that’s familiar with the supercharged 3.4? I need to have some adjustments made and I could do it myself, but if someone locally knows what they’re doing and could do it better than me, I’m not above paying for it. I’m in Dallas

 

the building is currently listed for sale too.

 

They’re eating their own shit.

 

Scheels was a sensory overload, there is so much going on in that place, however, the selection of goods is pretty damn good.

I checked out a bunch of stuff, it is about a 5 minute drive from the GF's apartment, so will def be a place to return to.

Heck yea I did... Boxes on boxes.

I found that too and agree, taste just like regular pickles. I did try to actual beer though, tastes like drinking pickle juice...

Ha thanks! I took the system out on Sunday and got it back in on Wednesday night, had to redo some outlets that were installed in it and actually mount it in the bed.

Finishing it out this weekend and getting it ready to go to Colorado over the 4th.


One of the previous owners of the system had gone a little crazy with the Dremel I guess.

I had to do better and make some covers for the giant holes they had put in the passenger side ammo can. One cheap IKEA cutting board later and a 2 gang waterproof electrical cover... way better.

Took me about a minute to take apart the wiring connector to be able to just run it through a 1/2" hole instead of what they had done...





Also made a cover for the hole where the electrical outlet was.

 

Did they mount the outlet in the ammo can, or what?

With the factory wiring harness, there is enough slack to run it to the rear if you cut the tape.

 

Yea, they had mounted the outlet where it is, but did it very poorly, instead of taking apart the connector, they just cut a large square in the side of the ammo can to run it and since they included the outlet, I went ahead and cut the outlet down as well as the tabs and such on the back of it to be able to flush mount it better against the ammo can instead of how it was.

There is enough slack to run it without cutting the tape from what I can tell, need to finish it out today after work and get it hooked back up as I didn't have time the other night.

 

Those covers look great.

 

D.A.P. Tuning - Dustin is the man.

 

some one was looking at phone holders for their bikes.... I dont remember the brand, but they looked real nice... anyone remember the brand? was it Ghostek?

 

Quad lock

 

poop... they don't make the case for the S20 ultra yet.... guess I will have to wait then. I really like the quad lock. I want to mount it on my ATV and Razor, and not have it fall out.

 

I just got my notice from Toyota about frame rust.

Only a few more hours until I hit the road. Work is really trying to squeeze everything out of me today. Ready for 5 so I can walk away from it and let someone else deal with it. Sometimes it really sucks being good at your job.

 

Damn, that extends into 3rd Gen wtf. Shitty af frames
