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

NE weather sucks

 

Went down to the Badlands this weekend with a local 4x4 group and had a blast!

Used the RTT for the first time since getting it! It was awesome!





The group:



























VERY happy with my setup! This was a shake down run to see how everything would work together and I was very pleased. Can't wait for the next one! Some short clips my buddy took and hopefully another video from LoadedTaco (Tunnel Vision 4x4 on YouTube) soon!

 

Last night I got the new LED bar mounting arms (?) for the Heretic bar..thanks RadTaco

Last night I removed my transfer case skid after hearing a loud rattling from idle to 5-10 mph take off speed. I had quite the build up of earthly deposits from mudding this weekend and some rocks which were left in the exhaust cutout of the skid caused the exhaust pipe to rattle worse than it already does. So I removed it, tightened the bolts back up and went for a drive around the block to make sure it wasn't something more serious. The rattle was gone.

Leaving the skid off for now to take it in to the exhaust shop this weekend to finally get the re-route done.

 

Dude finally! Glad to hear your took care of

 

Yeah that transfer case can make one hell of a ruckus when dirt and rocks are built up, I leave mine off unless I need it

 

Looks good man....

 

hah no rush but would love a couple pics for confidence so I can check it off me list Thanx dude!

And that trip you went on looked sikk!

 

SOON.

I'm getting my new fairing with the cutout for the 40" Heretic with the mounting crossbar from Zach. It shipped late last week. I'm going to have my guy wire the second switch panel, the LED bar and then I will pull the switch

Also have a surprise coming in the mail

 

Received the deflector with the 40" cutout today

I will likely get it installed tomorrow. Then I will mock up the crossbar so I know where to drill. I will have to come up with a way to secure the LED bar on the rack. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also:



Surprise came in the mail!!

I won't run it 24/7, but I will likely attach it and open it up just to see how it looks.

 

Little update for you all

Haven't updated in a while. A couple weeks ago I dropped my bike so I was replacing the broke parts and reinforcing the bake protection



Luckily I was ok and didn't get hurt except for a bruise on the inside of my right knee..still there after a few weeks. I had the front brake lock up on me at low to zero speed. Had it been on the highway or any faster it could have been a lot worse or even fatal..scary. But I'm back on the bike and have not had any issues.

Past few weeks have also been busy wrapping up buying a house. Packing and purchasing what we can before we move in. We close tomorrow morning!!

Onto the truck:

Was going through some things packing and came across my collection stickers. I got bored and took a break from packing; here is the result:



I'm thinking about clearing it. Thoughts?

Also swapped out the LED bar bolts after finally receiving them and came up short. 3 screws are missing and I hope they cane send me some more to finish it up. I think I finally figured out the bolt/security precautions I will be taking so now one with slippery fingers can walk away with it.



It will be installed once we get somewhat settled into the house and have a good amount of time (I have another switch panel to install as well and a few other things).

Lastly, I bought Rad's oil catch can that will ship out tomorrow. Can't wait to get that installed.

 

I like the stickered fairing.

 

Thanks man! I think I'm gonna clear it before winter

 

Love that man wish I could do that with stickers but it would look shut if I tried!

 

Honestly, that was my first stickerbomb ever

 

Couldn't tell that from the way it looks.

 

Thanks man

I'm for sure keeping it now!

 

I defiantly would

 

Hope to introduce the fiancé to RTT "camping" this weekend fingers crossed it goes well

 

Good luck!
