I got tired of the wiring on my boat trailer so I redid it all. Before:

B5DBABBD-8402-445F-812A-4B2F8571ED0E_zps

After:

2BD2593F-73AA-4E9F-93D7-EE6911A705DA_zps

Everything soldered and put in heat shrink. All the connectors on it made me think it would be easier to just strip it all out. Nice to have it done right. All that's left now is to hook up the clearance lights, which I have to drill 3/4" holes for still, lol.

Holy terminals batman...that was a mess. Glad you could clean it up, nice.

The only thing that wasn't working was one turn signal. But I didn't feel like digging through all the crap that was on there, lol. Couldn't believe all the junk. I don't care much for what were basically open wires on something that will be submerged. :lol:

I changed my oil and have decided next time I'll be bringing it and the Mobil 1 to my friends shop and have them do it for $10.

KMG they are the stock size LT265 75 R17, but they do look bigger. Not as quite as the Michilans but they seem to work very good in the slop I was in today. :jester:

Short of plain pipe bumpers, all the homemade jobs I've seen weigh a bunch and don't look too pretty. Cutting and coping is done by a machine on most company jobs, and they have jigs for everything. Plus guys who are great at welding lol. Not saying don't do it, just saying time and care will have to go into it to make it eye candy.

 

Also, I'm kinda done with the diamond tread look. Starting to wish I had gone smooth. Oh and $1500 is too much for a bullnose bumper IMO. But online they will be $$$

Sample pic Chris. But Tough Country is the only manufacturer that I have talked to in the past that will do the body lift modification on the brackets. No other company will do it. I believe that Frontier Gear has a nice bull nose bumper for half the cost but no body mod

I did out up a thread a couple years back about which bumper to get but now that I have a body lift it kind of limits me to what I can get unless I use the body lift brackets. Which then there goes all the strength

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
