That base price. Before 'options', like bumpers.

Oh those look familiar, Did you get everything wired up?

 

Yup! Well...everything except the high beams and the halos. Those are definitely a work in progress lol

 

The little clear'ish crimpers on the wire hanging out of the rubber boot are for the high beams, They just need to be connected to the HID kit. The halo's are the 2 little black boxes and just need to be crimped to a power source and grounded (I had it grounded where the battery grounds on the side of the engine bay close to the fuse box and on the other side where another hook looking thing by the power steering reservoir is). Shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes to do.

 

Right on bro. Yeah we just ran out of daylight so we'll probably try again this weekend. Thanks again for the kit and the assist!

 

Yeah she was 3 weeks early, no better way to spend father's day.

She is the main reason I purchased my DCLB 6 months ago, and t.w. has taken all my extra money lol.

Funny story was I was going to pick up the all-pro bumper purchased from @stroM- but then she decided to show up. So brother in law did the transaction for me. Guess will have to wait a few weeks to put on...

 

Congrats Josh! Glad everything worked out and you got your Father's day gift too!

 

Congratulations! My father got a baby girl for his birthday present some 40 years back or so.

 

Yeah....same reason I'm hunting down a DCLB right now too

 

Scott no luck with my dealer lady?

 

I have yet to call her, James. Been too damn busy, finished the last pre-natal social obligation with a visit to family in San Rafael Saturday (Jesus fucking Christ make it stop), and now we are focused on nursery setup etc. Got the car seat figured out for wifey's car, so now I can start getting serious on the truck search. The lack of DCLBs showing up online is a disappoinment, so the idea of a broker who has access to more resources including auctions working for me is becoming more and more attractive.

BTW, anyone interested in my 01? It will be up for sale after I get my hands on a DCLB. Almost at 150k miles mostly on-road, second owner, pure Cali truck, saw virtually zero snow, no acidents, service records from PO (plus my own). Runs like a top, smog is coming up in August, I am in the process of replacing the air-fuel sensor. New Dakars last fall, all the right 1st gen lift bits for that, Hidden Hitch with marine grade soldered 7-pin wiring.

Please take a number...

 

Lemme know.

We had our baby-cue Saturday. Car seat hasn't arrived yet but there is suddenly a stroller parked in my living room, among other mountains of stuff.

 

Woot! Holy shit dude, big mountian in the dining room unitl we get the nursery room set up. We got a vritualy brnad new BOB used for 50% off craiglist, and a friend gave us her uppa G lite convenience stroller. Those are both in the garage so I can do the 146-point pre-flight inspection and tuneup on them, change the fluids and filters, etc.

edit: oh I'll probably be calling her this week

 

if you're willing to drive, Dolan Toyota in Reno was top notch help finding my DCSB manual. They worked with the price a lot more, and actually snagged mine before they even got the shipment. Great guys, surprisingly large dealership and a lot better negotiations than any bay area one.
