geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Darn... Could have made something non-functional, functional! Btw are you planning to do a 40" cut out for the light bar or mount it around the deflector?

 

I plan on having the cut out delfector; still haven't decided if I want to buy another one from Zach or DIY mine. I want to have the lightbar sit flush with the top of the rack so it is still functional with the RTT mounted.

I messaged WildLand (check out his photoshop thread HERE) to have him quickly put together a couple pics of my rig with a snorkel and here they are!

Airflow


Safari


What do y'all think?

 

Personally it was an easy decision.

Airflow is made for your truck. Safari isn't and requires "rigging"

 

Your truck is getting more and more bad ass.

 

It looks good! Are you going to do it?

 

Not sure if you saw this:

Thanks dude

Not sure, honesty. I think it is growing on me! I keep looking at the pics..If I did it now, it would be due to too much trimming after flexing out the 285s and there being no OEM airbox protection. At that point, I would make a trip to a junk yard, cruise Craigslist or hell even pay to have one shipped from someone on TW selling a 2012+ passenger fender

 

PA speaker showed up Wednesday so I got it installed in about 15 minutes mounted to the radiator support with 3 self tapping screws. Looks good IMHO and I am glad it won't be flopping around for this weekends road trip. Going to have to remove that sticker though to clean it up a bit



Ugly christmas sweater party tonight hosted by the fiance and I! Finished our sweaters last night! Here's mine; yes it lights up!

 

You're a real trooper for wearing that thing around!
Hope you enjoyed yourself at the party.

 

It's tonight

and it weighs like 5-7 pounds! It's HEAVY!

 

Hahaha Enjoy Yourself!

 

Nice build so far! Glad I saw the link to the Avec lights pricing thread, everything holding up good from him? How do you like the led replacement bulbs in the reverse lights etc?

 

His product sucks and his customer service is super shitty.

 

Thanks man! Hit Mike up ASAP!! Everything is holding up excellent!! I can foresee myself ordering more lights as budget allows. My next order of business with him is a 40" for the roof rack

This past weekend I went on a road trip with some friends and got to be on some back roads in super dense fog. The 30" bar powered through the fog!! Even had a Ford and Chevy following me because they couldn't see through the fog. Needless to say, they weren't laughing long when they were led to safety by a "Jap-truck" as they called them

The reverse lights are bright!! Super easy to install! Pick up a set!!

 

That was turn signals not reverse

 

If you are looking for super bright lighting for reversing, you will want to do the 886 reverse light mod.

Haha alright cool thanks!

 

Iggy's switch panel back from the upholster aka soon-to-be-father-in-law!



I had to make some alterations to the leather to fit the switch bay and handles. But it fits in the space in the truck so snug! Love it!

Assembled!

 

Sub'd to see how this build comes along, How is the sound quality on the PA?

 

It's good for the price. Does its job

 

Subs. Great build. Are your rock lights installed?
