DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I hear ya man. Nothing crazy or fancy, just want to get some wheeling in, cook some camp food, and enjoy the weekend a little bit. Should be pretty busy out there with it being the holiday.

 

I can't deal with an inbound shift I use to work 12 to 7am in the morning. My body hated me for it. Yes it's the T3 with full hoop's!

 

Brace yourself, incoming plethora of pics from front bumper install today. Everything went smoothly for the most part. Fudged the cuts a bit but came out alright.

Start time 1pm



Haven't taken off my skid plate since Jamboree

Finished!!! End time was 4:30pm

 

Just ordered a solar kit for the truck....

Found an damaged packaging Renogy kit for $169 shipped to my door.

 

Looks badass, really want one of these quicksand turdgens

 

Installed with assistance from @SuperBad this morning.

 

Looks great! Were the lights hard to wire up??

 

3-way switch in the cab for the lights, haven't run the wiring loom from the bumper to my fuse panel yet, but it's all wired and ready to install.


Tapped a known reverse-hot wire in the cab for the hot line for the switch in its middle-position, the always-hot line that I've used for the rest of the relay triggers goes to the final switch position.

 

Love that switch layout so clean, backlit red led is a nice touch too! Wish I could do something like that on my overhead console in my turdgen. I think ill be forced to settle to put a switchpro in my side cubby.

 

Seriously, that looks so great. I'm trying to stay away from their website now.

 

Yea, haven't looked around the third gen enough to know where else a switch panel could fit, the overhead is a bit more utilized in the new version than my truck.

 

Thanks! Yea it was a close one between Demello's and CBI's for me. Overall though I liked CBI more and they already offered a high clearance rear in production where as demello does not have any rear bumpers in production yet for 3rd gens. Also I wanted 3 hoops and demello only offers a baja hoop and slimline hoop on theirs! Just make sure if you get the steel version you either have a friend or an engine hoist to held this heavy sonavabish, no way I could have done it alone without my brother. Do it and dont look back you wont regret it!

 

@Zac of all trades

For the "Bicicletas y Tacos con Tacos el día 25"

It will be me and my GF coming, going to see what kind of easy dessert could be made and kept cool... so may bring a dessert like a cobbler or something.

Also, be sure to account for the friend of mine that I also invited that has rode MTB with @Geremy, may be him and his wife and they are fine with just bringing cash to help pay for the food.

 

@Silverspool

Miss quote?

 

Yeah bro, sorry

 

All good, but hey... I am always on the lookout for a good deal on a rear Pelfreybilt!

 

Backup lights in bumper now wired. Pics later.

 

Since you asked so nicely.

 

I'm trying to talk my wife into coming, too.

Meat is expensive, so I'll bring cash for whoever is supplying food.
