Your killing me!

 

Well that's one way to add weight to the back of the truck for traction!

 

This is so bad to the bone.....If I weren't currently installing an on board water system I'd be all over this. Perhaps in the spring. We Likey! Nice work!

 

Ya'll check this out! My Friend that owns our hunting camp down in South Ga. (Names Will Be Refrained for obvious reasons) Approx 380 acres and he recently bought a slightly used smaller xxxxx (Name Removed on Purpose) tractor for the farm to cut and maintain hunting roads for the most part. He purchased from FB Market Place about 3 months ago and we have been using a lot. Then he text me this today.

From Him:


I just got a call from the xxxxxx (County named removed) County Sherriffs dept, investigator XXXXXX. (Name Removed on Purpose) He extracted my # out of the phone of a woman they arrested for theft by taking and need me to return the stolen xxxxx (Name Brand Removed) tractor to XXXXXX (City Removed on Purpose) GA immediately.


He inadvertently purchased a stolen tractor. He's a great guy and would do anything for anyone this just sucks! Watch out for FB Market Place! He's just shit out of luck for like over 10K

 

Sorry brother but they are pretty sick tho! I'm currently getting feedback from rich and JB and I'm seeing on adding a few additions to this maybe a longer version of the Chanchito for those who need a full size

 

Wow that is rough. Feel bad for your friend bc that kinda stuff could happen to any of us. I hate thieves.

 

Snow in habersham got sketchy. I had about 8 inches at the house total. Wife slept sunday night at work, and then was able to make it close to home monday, so we parked her car at ingles and i went and drove her home and then back to her car monday and tuesday night. We were out of power for 30 hours from sunday morning at 8am to 14:00 monday. When power came back on it said the house was 58 degrees. lol that was with the gas heater in basement running full blast. But it was a nice toasty 70 in the basement. So little man and I stayed down there a bit in the dark. He wanted chicken nuggets for dinner sunday night so i used a camping stove haha. it worked...kinda... but he didnt complain. Lots of ice on the road until yesterday afternoon. slid the truck into my mailbox and broke a taillight.. so had to order new set yesterday. but at least it was just the taillight and not body or tailgate damage.

hope everyone made it safe and sound during the storm. looking like we are getting a few more inches (giggity) this weekend..

 

That sucks! hate that for him. cant stand a thief.

 

Welcome to my build thread!

I'll be more than happy to loan out my Jackery 1000 if you lose power again. It won't power your HVAC, but it can run a heated blanket or your fridge. This goes for anyone who needs it. My only stipulation is that you have to come get it and bring it back within a reasonable time period.

 

Glad your safe. I we are supposed to get a lot more snow up on the mtn. My neighbor is clearing the road with the bobcat. It was 10” of powder earlier this week. Now it’s gonna be a similar amount coming with freezing rain too!

 

Well the on board water system is coming along. Went and picked up the water tank to place on top of the bed rack today. Custom Made! It's sweet. I'll post more pics when entire system is installed. My Dog is great boy too! He's a 48 lbs 8 month old rescue puppy!

 

I need some advice. It’s probably time for me to add an aux fuse panel. I’ve got a winch, my ex-topper lift, and about to add some knock off arb lights. Each accessory has an inline fuse but that’s probably too much crap to just attach to the battery. I’ve got an AGM w the headlight harness upgrade and just got the 0.5 amp fuse booster. Doing the work myself is a bit out of my comfort zone, where around Atlanta would you suggest I get it done? And what’s a rough estimate? I’ve also got a group 27 battery that eventually I’d like to set up in the bed as a dual battery system so I could charge a phone and run a heated blanket or fan

 

Disclaimer: I have too much crap run directly to my battery.

Keep the winch going straight to the battery, or do a Lambtek (@Gilmorec61 ) switch kit. Either way, don't go through a fuse block for the winch. Look for the parts (basically a tray, fuse/breaker, fuse block, etc.) and get them ordered. Most shops won't keep that sort of thing on hand. Then wait patiently for a mod day. Bring lots of beer.

 

Something like this: https://overlandequipped.com/produc...et-for-2nd-generation-toyota-tacoma-2005-2015 (or same on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Auxiliary-Bracket-Compatible-Toyota-2005-2015/dp/B085WC6HDM)

Here's a cheaper one, but it looks inferior.

I've been toying with the idea of going to HD and getting the metal to bend my own. I'm not looking to put much weight on it, so I don't think it has to be super stout.

 

Speaking of Mod Day, it's time to start thinking about one. Spring is almost here.

I think a day in March would be good, like last year. Hopefully, it won't snow...

Thoughts?
