Perhaps, I thought of selling my current one to fund a rear bumper build. What change would you be referring to?

Including the coating, probably around $200. The LP light was another $40 though.

Right at a year and a half. Love the breed, such friendly and fun dogs.

Awesome build! Love the simplicity and utility. Also love the dogs! Mine is bred a little differently though! Much thinner coat, for obvious reasons.

update: The gate is done! I didn't get the opportunity to add all the features that I wanted though (Jerry can and hi-lift) due to weight constraints. The gate does do a great job at holding the weight of the tire though. It also swings very easily and I haven't added any grease yet either. All...

Thanks guys! Little update. Made some progress on the gate. There will be a lot of cleaning work to do on the spatter since its flux core but its coming along pretty well I think. Here's some pics: Added some gussets to the hinge brackets, tried to get a little artistic with it. Made em...

After finishing my roof rack build, I wanted to start another project. I settled on designing and building a tiregate that would replace the original tailgate. The gate will be made of 1.5" square tube. The brackets are 3/16" steel. The bushings are going to be machined out of delrin, and I'll...

Waytek is where I get all my wiring equipment now. They have killer prices! And about fusing the fuse block, it if for some reason you have more than 100amps being pulled from it (i.e running multiple things at once) then it can cause major problems. Granted this will likely never be the...

Nice! I get access to most of those toys as well (mechanical engineering) but not a laser etcher. Now that's cool!

Again, great install! I opted for the contura series switches too. I'll get some pictures up of them all when I get a chance. And where do you work!?! You've got some awesome resources!

Looks awesome man! I thought about relocating the OEM relay block like that but opted not to. That's a great option for mounting the winch solenoid. Props! BTW, the circuit breaker was only like $40 and plus you're not only protecting the fuse block itself, but everything that attached to it...

They are military spec battery terminals, like these: Battery terminals

Hey guys, I posted my recent Blue Sea aux fuse block install here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37333 I got a lot of positive feedback from it and a lot of interests in the bracket I made. Since the interest is there, I am going to be making these for members. I'll be...

Here's a couple more pics from farther away:

Man, I've got too many accessories! I'm seeing a lot of guys with just the 6 circuit box. I'll have my 12 circuit box pretty much filled up after my OBA install. As long as I don't run them all at the same time I should be fine. Hopefully!

Just because it would look a little cleaner with the big wires running underneath the panel. It was a little more work to mount it and by no means is it necessary, just a personal preference.

Thanks everybody! I removed the nylon covering from the terminals and then used my bench vise to crimp the wires on. I squeezed them on really well with that. I have no worries about them coming off. I'm seriously considering doing this exact thing! PM me if you are interested and we can...

Thanks everyone for the compliments! Yep, Speedway Blue it is. I'm a big fan of your truck! I just made the cables out of 4AWG KnuKonceptz wire wrapped with expandable sleeving. I will caution you though, the power lead coming from the alternator is very short. I wanted to make my own wire...

I finally got around to cleaning all my wires up. I decided to use a Blue Sea Systems 12 circuit fuse block for the hub. For protection I threw in a Blue Sea 100A circuit breaker before the fuse block. Also, I installed military spec terminals at the batter to keep everything secure and clean...

Thanks! Man, it's been too many to count. But granted if I was a better fabricator I could have cut a lot of time out probably. I've learned a lot better ways of doing things as I went along. As easily as it bends, I would say the yield strength is quite low. Tensile, however should be high...
