I recognize the driveway! Nice wheel chocks! :flipoff2:


Haha for sure. Those are actually home made ramps that I needed to make so I could get my lowered cobras up in the air.

Damn dude, bravo!!:clap:

Thank you sir. It was hard selling my m100 trailer, but I never used it. This thing will get lots of use!
 
I think it's a 34 IIRC. I will say that i have been VERY impressed with it so far. I've been on four pretty long trips with it, once with the fridge running for 3 days while camped and it started up just fine. Next fridge ran for 4 days in the summer, at the beach with 90 degree days and the truck started right up... but this time i could tell the battery was not up to full charge. Next two times were approximate 2-3 day parked with the fridge running, stereo on, laptop charged, cell phone charged and the battery still started the truck. Next project will be a solar panel to keep it topped off during those times. :cheers:

Thanks, don't need anything that big but definitely want something that can run my fridge for couple of days.
 
I picked my rig up from DC Fabrication with freshly designed front and rear bumpers for all to purchase!

That bumper is nice! Is that their "prerunner" style? Because on the site they only show what looks to me like a safari bumper, what I guess to be their "outback" style.

I like the lower profile of this one.

Yeah, I think he referred to this one as "pre-runner." He had done something similar on a 40, so I requested it and he went with it as an option available to everyine... Maybe I should dremel mine with "1 of ..." :grinpimp:
 
Finally got my pioneer speakers mounted in the front. The 1/4" Nylon spacers did the trick!
 
I noticed quite a bit of condensation on the inside of my passenger headlight (possibly as a result of last weekend's trail riding, which included one trail with 14 water crossing). So, I removed the low & hi beam bulbs, grabbed my wife's hair-dryer (after getting permission, of course), and dried it out. It took about 7 - 10 minutes.

Just did my fronts tonight also. Straight forward for the most part. I will post my tech contribution about the install in one of the speaker threads. Sounds freaking amazing!!!
 
Hardware store. You could also achieve the same thing using a nut for the spacer.

When I installed the Pioneers in my 80 I cut two rings out of 1/4 inch luan I already had.
 
Have had a few others but this will be my first 80...delivery on Sat!

For those who aren't in Arizona, that appears to be Gridwall, or at least that is what some others have used. I know I can get it locally in Portland at a couple retail suppliers for reasonable prices. (2'x4' in black, white, or chrome for $17 as of today.) Sometimes it is on CL for cheaper.

Phil - what size do you use for these? I assume just the 2'x4' size, but I haven't measured, and my estimate might be off. I know you can get them in 2x4, x5, x6, x7 and x8 sizes. Do you need to trim them down?
