RelentlessTaco's build up

How did you wire up the winch ?

 

Looks Good!

 

Actually, I have some cables that have gator clamps on one end(like jumper cables), and the winch quick plug on the other end. It allows me to use the winch front or back via receiver hitch, or even on someone elses truck if it were necessary since it isnt hard wired to my truck. I have it in my plan to make some permanent leads wired to the front and back of the truck to power the winch though because theres a bit of power loss with that setup and so I dont have to unpack the power cable every time I need the winch

Thanks

 

Here are just a few pics from 'wheelin the other day when I got an unexpected mod...... Managed to get some rock rash from a dry creek bed!

 

Great pics Eric!

 

Thats nice! you have time to fab one up for my truck too!?

 

x2 ^^, I would definitely pay for a box like that!

Love the truck man! Awesome fabrication!

 

Thanks guys. If I have time at some point, I could definately build some for ya. Not sure what I'd have to charge for em though. Any ideas what you think they'd be worth?

 

Well, since the OME885's I got ended up saggin about an inch, my truck only sat a 2.25" lift with the OME top spacer and that wasnt high enough compared to the rear of my truck. So, today I finally remedied it until I can afford some adjustable Coil overs. What I came up with was taking the 3" lift billet aluminum top plate spacers from my old lift, and machining them down to give around 1.25-1.5" of lift and swapping them with the 1/2" OME spacers. Turned out pretty good, though maybe just a tad too high(sittin at about 3.25-3.5" lift without the winch on). Looks awesome though.

Here is a pic showing the comparison of the strut with the OME spacer, and then the other with my custom spacer on top.

This pic shows the size of the custom spacer compared to the 2 toytec's stacked. About the same, maybe an 1/8th inch larger.

Superb work! Would you mind if I humped your truck? I promise I'll wash it when I'm finished.

 

uhh about that. Sorry, but no

 

Thats bad ass!!!

 

Thanks.


Also, just a little update for my build.... Later this afternoon im going to build a custom receiver hitch to fit with my allpro rear bumper. Materials were only $32 and it wont be a PITA to use from being hidden behind the license plate like allpro does.
