Ravenkeeper Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Picked up a U-Haul 6x12 trailer, last night. Hauled our living room seating down to San Diego, today, and bringing mother-in-law’s living room seating back up to the Antelope Valley, tomorrow, in time to be off of I-15 before the Vegas rush.
TXGREEK Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Nice where did you get that? Like that's not so short. Does it get good reception?I’d be careful with anything but stock. Bought two separate Billet stubby Antennas from Cravenspeed and both had horrible reception. Put factory back on and all is great again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not a huge radio person anymore so not a deal breaker if reception on this antennae is bad. Bought it more so i can avoid hitting crap in the parking garage at work.Waterfowler 41’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/brittmork

I’m actually debating cutting off a little bit as I do agree it gets annoying smacking overhanging pipes, lights etc in parking garage ceiling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

CKrado Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Just got my rear seat windows and back windshield tinted down to 5%, installed S&B Cold air intake last night and temporarily got my new dash cam installed. Plan on finishing dash cam install tonight with a better mounting location and hiding the power wire. Also going to install new cabin air filter and change the oil this weekend

Option one: T-Rex LED light bar grille https://trexbillet.com/i-23903528-zroadz-series-2-pc-main-insert-grille-w-one-20-inch-slim-line-single-row-led-light-bar-part-z311281.html Option 2: Buy multiple items like S&B CAI, dash cam, and other smaller items that add up to roughly the same cost Any input my friends?

CajunFries Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Installed my A pillar pod light bracket that my Gf got me for Christmas. It’s from SDHQ. will post another picture when I get it fully bolt in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Marv88 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Finally got around to running the power wire for my audio system. After reading/seeing how much of a pain it would be to go through the firewall I decided to go under the truck. I ended up finding a plastic plug that was right below where the amp will go so I drilled that out and installed a compression style waterproof grommet. 1
Marv88 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I cut a bit of the foam carpet padding out and cut an X in the carpet to fit snugly around the grommet. 3

Over $100 for just the bracket seems off to me. Waterfowler 41’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/brittmork
Marv88 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Covered the wire in braided loom, ran it through the gaps in the body supports and zip tied it to a wire bundle behind the wheel well liner right up to the battery. Also, split loom would not fit all the way through the gaps but I ended up doubling it on top of the braided loom and pressed it as far as I could into each gap opening to have extra protection where it contacted metal edges. 1

I was trying to make me a set with scrap metas I have laying around but Gf saw how horrible my welding skill was.... and she said she’ll just buy one for me. Sooooo BAM! hahah.
