New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

Every crimper, terminal, shrink tube, and harness making supply known to man. Some lengths of 4AWG, 1/0, and 2/0, lugs in a couple sizes, and a couple sizes and colors of marine wire.

I recently put together a relay box myself and am quite familiar with the process.

 

In the mid future I need to wire up a fridge. In the near future i need to rewire my lights. All on speaker wire at the moment.... Also want to drop in a USB charger port/hub direct to the battery for charging shit. I'll have a 100W solar panel though to keep up with that and the fridge.

Probably starting chipping away at that whole bit and a lot of fluids in the spring.

 

NE Overland Rally?

Sept 8-11, 2nd year, website isn't great, but tacomaworld reviews from last year were ok.

Is anyone going or does anyone know anymore about this event?

 

Yes, I’ll add you to the pm of the ones going and the maybes

 

@Merling @CttAznRanger @RockfishTaco Do we want to do 9/10? I could also do 9/30 or 10/1? I could also be convinced to do both...

Anyone else that is interested let me know and I'll put you on the PM

 

9/10 is good for me so far.

 

Yup, the T-Case does involve drilling 4 holes in the frame. I have the full SOS skids plate trio.

 

Sounds good, for your jack mount I have some material laying around that I think will work but worst case we do some professional cad and I can just make it from the template

Separately @Merling @Brownmatthall I know at one point both of you asked for a compressor mounts. Are you guys still interested?

 

I have a fuse box mount bought for the taco, that needs to be cut for the runner. Have to look at the family schedule to know if I can make it or not.

Anyone know what vendors will be there?

 

Sounds good, I'll include you in the PM when I make one.

 

At some point, might put it on hold for now

 

Adding you to the pm as well. I think Jared has read the most on it.

 

Fair enough. @jpereira2 I still have both skids if you wanted to buy them

 

I plan to be out of town oct1 weekend, 9/10 works best for me atm

in regards to a mount for the compressor, I think my conclusion for now is to hold off after talking about pros and cons last weekend

 

If anyone on Instagram feels like giving my page a follow I would greatly appreciate it @wmassautocoatings

 

Shoot me a pm for how much your asking. I'm hesitant because I don't want to drill into the frame lol I'm key much sick with either buy an rci which might not work with the sos sliders or modify something and build a crossmember

 

I don't even remember what I paid lol. I'll try to do some digging and get you a number

Where in Western Mass is the mod/meet day (9/16, 9/17)?
I voted for Sunday but I may be able to make it for Saturday.

 

The drilling into the frame is actually not as bad as you might think but keep in mind that even just having the mid skid will give you another 2 feet of protection even if you don't feel comfortable getting the trans skid. I have had mine for 4 years now with no issues with the holes. Also, I have the SOS sliders for the DCLB and they shouldn't interfere.
