How's that bud light platinum? Is it any different than regular bud light?

Nice, I just got back from a short 12 mile mountain bike ride, came home and the wife has lobster tails boiling on the stove with Labatt Beers chillin'....

Now that sounds nice, Amy and I just finished dinner at Bass Pro Shops. We are sitting in the theater right now waiting on the movie to start. We are seeing "salmon fishing in Yemen".

Thanks man! That's great to know and thank you for the pictures. I'm using the awlteq solenoid cover as well on both. What solenoids did you go with on yours? I went with the summit "Albright". However there aren't very many good photos of the wiring.

No problem. I am glad to help.

My original Warn solenoids are still good on the two 8274's I have and the one my brother has. When it is time to replace, I will probably go the same route you did with the Summit/Albright contactor.

I'm pretty sure Lee (1911) over in Ft Worth used that contactor. Maybe he will step up with wiring pics.

Thanks cope, I've spoken with Lee through pm a couple times on here about the Albright. I've actually read through his contractor install thread several times. I'm not very electrically inclined and wish I was so I could understand wiring schematics a little better. I've seen the schematics for the 8274 and Albright contractor and understand it enough to where I think I could get the job done. However there isn't much on wiring the 4 pin socket we have been discussing here to the Albright.
 
Okay placed my order for 3 of the 48305 and 3 48325 from Hopkins. Chris if you read this before I see you one set is for you since you posted you needed it as well.
 
I had seen that and I think 1911 had to use a different socket. I'm going to try to make it work as I'm not sure if the socket is the same depth.

I picked up a KN air filter tonight for my 40 tonight , hope it fits...
 
Well my cruiser should be having the paint touched up and another coat of clear added. Hope to be driving it home Friday night. In the mean time I'm in Corpus Christi picking up a ATV i picked up for $150.00. Amy is going to kill me because I already have 3 quads back home in Indiana. This one is a 95 yamaha big bear 4x4. It's nothing special but It runs good and does it's job.
 
Sweet bring it by work

Looks good Sully. Those bows are beggin' for a top. Looks like you moved up 3 spots on the OCD top list. At this rate, it may be on your front porch by Summer. ;)
 
Nice, your going to have to put straps on those doors to keep them from banging the fenders...

Kevin,

I completely agree, there are a couple things that need modified on these doors. I would like to add a lockable storage on the backside of where it says metal tech and the straps.

Trying to decide btw the 4in HC and 2.5 OME with 33 MTs, yours looks great sitting up on the HC. Really like how it's coming together.

Dave,

I have been pretty happy with the hell creek springs. I haven't been able to test them out yet but they add nice height and there is absolutely no cruiser sag which I like as well. I would personally source your own shocks. I have bilsteins that I bought from a fellow mudder brand new. Also running stock length shackles in hopes I won't have to shim but won't know until I actually drive it. Btw thanks for the bolt kit, if anyone actually reads this thread, Dave sells a great bolt kit. I used the gold cad kit and I'm still like a little child on chrismas when I open up the bolt box and see all my shiny gold colored bolts.
