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

Rotopax system ordered!!

 

I recently found that the steel receiver bracket I have is set up for a 7/8" shackle pin.

This is the bracket I am referring to:
http://www.amazon.com/RECEIVER-BRAC...sr_1_110?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1427379021&sr=1-110

The ARB shackles must have a 1" pin for all of their shackles because it wouldn't fit the bracket above. Which is not ideal. God forbid the shackle breaks on the trail and I don't have a replacement that fits in the 7/8" hole. Last night I took a dremel with a grinding wheel bit and in about 15-20 minutes, the ARB pins now fit the bracket!! :woo:

Next, I woke up this morning to the following notification



I passed this information along to Eric. I know he/Relentless Fab is not responsible in anyway nor do I blame him, but I wanted to bring it to his attention in case they are damaged so he can work with UPS. I hope they are alright..

Lastly, a member on here is selling his roof rack and Heretic light bar. Might be getting a 40" Heretic soon!

 

Damn, that is a crazy notification to wake up to!

 

Haha definitely I was hoping to get them to the powder coater next weekend though. I hope they get here by then.

 

My brother got me this for my birthday (in 2 weeks still):



Just have to wait for the mounting hardware to arrive from Boss 4x4 and then I can install it! Can't wait!!

I ordered some LED strips from IKEA today for lighting the interior of the RTT. Here is the link to the "mod":

Lastly, I will be sending the TW member the money for the 40" Heretic bar Monday!

 

Hell yea. But on the plus side I get your other gas cans haha

 

Hey man how are those LED strips for rock lights holding up? Thinking of doing the same but curious how many it takes.

 

They're holding up great! I have 12 under there now but the skids prevent the undercarriage from being lit up even more.

I bought some rock lights from Apocalyptic lighting a while back so I am going to swap all 12 currently there with those and then take the current ones and add to the new ones. That's the plan anyways.

 

Cool man thanks!

 

No worries!

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Relentless Fab bed bars have arrived!!



"Custom" mounted plates for quik fists:


Hi lift mounts:


Big thanks to Eric at Relentless for getting these put together for me! Quality tubing and excellent craftsmanship like Relentless is known for. Just glad they are not bent to hell they survived the train derailment!

Next will be to drop them off at the local powder coater. Can't wait to get these things mounted and the RTT on top!

40" Heretic from RadTaco should be here tomorrow!!

 

Got my 40" Heretic LED bar from RadTaco yesterday:



Just didn't arrive how I hoped it would



I emailed UPS and RadTaco. I swear I have been having the worst luck with UPS this week. Rad said that he would be calling Heretic this morning to try to get me a new one ASAP. Plus one to an awesome TW member!!

Lastly, the LEDs for the RTT showed up:

 

I have extra light bar arms if you need. Lmk

 

What would you want for them?

 

Depending where you mount you may not even need the arms

 

I would like a pic of the back side of the A-trac OTRATTW switch and harness,
and shipping cost

 

Chux, do you have any pics of the brackets?

Here are some of the Heretic ones:

 

They look slightly different where the grooved teeth meet, these have a raised flat circle slightly higher than the locking teeth. Not sure if that matters.






I would honestly try to match the ones that come with the bar. If you cant hit me up bout these extras.

 

Inbound your way Monday

 

You're the man! Thanks! Thanks also to Chux for offering his up. You dude rock!

I have to see about getting some black bolts for the LED bar. I emailed Jake @ Heretic, just waiting for a reply.
