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

Was kidnapped by my buddy this morning and dragged to the gun range I was lucky enough to be able to rent the gun I want to eventually purchase

Got home and mounted the Rotopax finally!





Ran a few errands this evening and snagged this pic:



Got supplies for tomorrow

 

Should've told me. I have most that stuff. Don't open the wire at least

 

Pm'd you buddy

 

Well yesterday was a long day. Worked on getting 4 snowboards repaired, sharpened and waxed for the upcoming season on top of modding and repairing Caitlyn:

Mega shoutout to my brother, @GARSHA91, for wiring up my secondary switch panel from @Iggy.



Still going to clean this up a bit but for now, it's functioning and looks decent:



He also helped me wire my grill and bumper LED bars independently of each other:



(Going to move the plate out of the way tonight )


Once he finished, he went to install his projector headlights (which looks sick btw!). I moved to the bed LEDs that have been MIA for almost a year

Ripping the old LEDs out


New LEDs installed!


The camera makes the LEDs look blue but they are packaged as white 6k(?) I think. It's just nice to finally have working bed lights again! I think I will be splicing in another strip on the inside of the back glass to light up the tailgate area. Should have that done this weekend.

New to-do list:

• drop rear skid; there's likely a ton of junk stuck in there from the last time I went wheelin' and it creates a bad rattle at idle.
• clean out oil filler cap
• wire roof LED bar; I hope to have the harness by this weekend thanks to @zscott
• touch up some areas on the sliders; starting to chip a tiny bit. This time I'll use undercoat.
• give her a good wash and wax; finally...
• replace some of the crossbar bolts on the roof racks; some of them are getting chewed up from taking them on and off so much
• rotate tires
• oil change

Finally, I received my SS purchasing might be halted until I get my present from whomever got me ..don't want to double purchase! I am making arrangements now for my SS gift and will be sending it out by week's end hopefully First time doing it and I already love it! Not sure why I never did it

 

like the decal on your window! Bed lights look sick buddy!

 

Thanks again man!

I placed an order with ATO yesterday thanks to the help of @ragincajun35. One step closer to hitting up @Rattletrap66 for my final purchase

 

Hell

 

I think I will wait until after my SS gifter sends their goodies. I doubt they will send what I need, but you never know, maybe I got a vendor



On another note, I will be calling the vendor for my giftee today and I hope to get his wishlist pretty checked off..I have some goodies to add to it first and then I will send it out. I think he will be pleasantly surprised!

 

My SS hardly posts and put on the wish list unreal gift ideas

 

I just noticed mine front and center on the stickerbomb... pretty cool.

 

Yea that's difficult. Mine was pretty easy. I have like 4 or 5 things on his like 8 item list so I think I did pretty good. Going out tomorrow

 

That sucks

Of course! I hope to be building something similar to your wind deflector for your RTT over the winter. Might have some questions for you should I hit some snags. Might need another sticker from you

Did you buy anything?

 

For my secret Santa? Yes I ordered most of it. Waiting on one last thing

 

Just shoot me a PM if you need any help. I've got a few logo stickers floating around...

 

your dog sheds

 

Just a little. You should see his back seat lol

 

I can't even use the vinyl wipes on the dash because they attract hair and all intergalactic filth

Taking her in the weekend for a good wash and clean..been overdue

 

Had to

 

I guess I take after you..
