OEM Plus (2018 Cement TRDOR), Bikes, and BS

@runnin4tacos bed stiffeners on today. Feel pretty beefy.

Just snowed in Colorado so the bed is a bit ... “moist”

 

Awesome build, I love it!
I went through the four full pages from the beginning and still laughing at "Plans - a girlfriend".

Once the DoD clears you, I want to hear an update on how the traction board broke.

 

Also swapped the CaliRaised pods for @Baja Designs Squadron Pros (clear).

To be fair, the CaliRaised are a great bang for the buck light kit. But 2,500 vs 4,900 lumens is a needed jump.

 

Geared up and did some Colorado cruising.

 

Awesome truck, love your build. Where'd you get your hands on an x-cover mini? I ordered a regular x-cover a couple of weeks back (need it for a family of 4) and during my research I saw a ton of stuff around the x-cover mini but it's nowhere to be found new.

 

its a one-off prototype that never made it to production. Nearest I can tell it started life on Runnin4Taco’s Twon’s truck before landing at upTOP Overland and was stored for about a year. They just recently put it up for sale. I saw it and knew exactly what it was and then jumped quick.

 

lolol yes I was wondering if this is THE one that’s out there. Good find!

 

Great build, great dogs. How much better does this get? Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your service.

thanks, man!

 

More lighting accessories coming so I guess it’s time to organize the electrical system...

 

Power Tray came in and added an Optima YellowTop AGM battery and an MWD decal.

 

With all the lights coming in (S8 is still OTW), I figured it’s time to start sketching out a plan:

Components:

• BD Rock Lights (Clear) [39-8050]
  • Watts: 5w (ea)
  • Amps: 0.4A (ea)
• BD S8 40” Spot Lightbar (clear) [704001]
  • Watts: 224w
  • Amps: 16.23A
• BD S8 30” Work/Scene Lightbar (amber) [703006]
  • Watts: 168w
  • Amps: 12.17A
• BD Squadron Pro Driving/Combo Ditch Lights (clear) [49-7803]
  • Watts: 40w (ea)
  • Amps: 2.90A (ea)
• PowerTrays Blue Sea 12 Circuit tray w/ accessory bundle
  • Blue Sea 12-circuit fuse block
  • Blue Sea MRBF terminal fuse holder
  • Busman 100A circuit breaker
  • 125A MRBF fuse
  • 18” power cable
  • 6” power cable
  • 22” ground cable
• Miscellaneous
  • 16 AWG SXL Primary wire
  • 4-pin relays
  • Soldering equipment/supplies
  • A buddy who know electrical stuff

Oddly enough, there really isn’t a whole lot of help with anything electrical. So I put together some general guide/wiring schematics:

 

Changed the TRD OR fog bezels for a set from the SR5.

It’s subtle but cleaner, I think.

 

Looks really good is it a simple change or did you have to mod anything?

 

One-for-one swap.

Part numbers:

• 52128-04020
• 52127-04020

 

You like that Rocky Mounts rear rack? Can you still drop the tailgate when the bike is off?

 

I've got to figure out how to get my center info area in between the gauges to show music...did you have to do anything special?

 

you can drop the tailgate but not completely without it hitting the bike.

 

The right side arrow pad press l

eft or right to cycle through the screens. The up and down for screen specific info/controls.

 

I meant when the bike is completely off the rack and the arm is folded down, will the tailgate hit it?
