Have we started packing for tomorrows trip?

 

Heck yeah I have! This trunk organizer is surprisingly sturdy, and is handling 60lbs of tools with ease. I'll make another post later with more pics of what all I did today.

 

Dont forget to leave room for
Mrs @EatSleepTacos !

 

Bro I fully expect you to have a plethora of tacos with you on the trail tomorrow.

 

Unfortunately she can't make it!! She's got to work at the hospital.

HA. I'll get the 10 pack from Taco Bell

You whore you'll eat a cookie for anybody

 

Picture dump!!!



This is my ez pass, plasti dip'd

Looks like a damn used tire store in here.

 

When you have a chance could you see what the diameter of the antenna spring is please

 

Sure! How come?

 

I made the bracket for the rear with no antenna or light to take measurements from and I think the holes are too close together I may either have to remake it or extend the light out some

 

Ahhhh. I'll go measure when I'm done with this episode on Netflix.

 

There is a hole for the antenna mount just behind the light but pretty sure too close

 

Oh that'll most likely fit. The spring is like 3/4" in diameter.

 

No hurry hell next week it doesnt matter

 

Out of left field but how is the light output on them led pods?

 

18w floods they're not bad they're no caliraised lights or anything like that. I have a set in the ront for fogs also and for $15 a set I figured if they get knocked of the back or something I'm not out much but they really do work pretty darn good I did have a set as ditch lights and they were great

 

I have some sos concepts ditchlight hood mounts and have been holding off on buying a set of pods. I just purchased the switch that reads "ditch lights" so I am inching closer to the next mod on my Taco

 

I also had the random cheap pods from Amazon, (two sets actually) and they worked super well.

 

I had a set of those and they were great but then decided to get a set of the new caliraised side projecting ditch lights. I like them because you can face the light forward and have ditch lights at the same time. Their wiring harness is pretty nice and both the harness and the lights come with duetsch connectors. I wouldn't hessitate rom putting another set of the eurolife's there if I needed to though they're a good little light

Eurolife


Caliraised


And you can see the back is lit up pretty well

 

my idea was to just start with the cheaper ones and get them wired and maybe upgrade later if need be. Hell if they only last a year your not out much and then all you need to to is change the lights. I made the jump to the Caliraised lights because I figured they would provide enough light forward and to the side and I probably wouldn't need anymore than that. I tend not to just buy everything I can find to buy but instead everything has a purpose. Even with the lights I figured if I wanted to upgrade I could just move them somewhere else.
