X 2 :cheers:

I've never been a fan of the looks of Ford trucks past the 60's but, I think the raptor is one bad ass looking Ford truck. I like your mods and even though I am a convert to partial or full de badging I personally like the looks of the bold F-O-R-D as opposed to the oval. That along with the...

Based on Google pics (I'm not a welder) yep same principle.

Hey just like my original post said....WHY DIDN'T I find this BEFORE ordering a 15 lug pack that I prob won't use but, 1 or 2 now. :crybaby: :lol:

I only have a 200 amp max 100 amp idle alternator. I doubt I'll ever see the 200 amp side of it. Just wanted to make sure and yep , "the redneck engineering and common sense will still get the job done" is tried and true. :) Thanks :jrod: :cheers:

Here's a link to the post I read Lonsome: How To Make Your Own O Gauge Ring Terminals. - Car Audio Forumz - The #1 Car Audio Forum I'll make my own "How to" as I am going to tweak a thing or two. Jarrod was there any importance given to using certain pipe gauge (i.e. "M" ,"L" or "K"?)...

So while using Google to find other sources for 0 gauge cable lugs/ring terminals I came across an article on making your own out of copper tubing. So I went to the plumbing aisle at Home Depot and while looking at my options the employee in that section told me he use to do the same thing...

Yeah for now that was the plan. I wanted to add another Optima. Don't have the $. It would still be a different age though. Didn't think that would matter much especially if I isolated. :dunno: Kinda looking like this might be on hold as I divert funds to completing the HID install and Rims/tires.

Shut the front door!!! :thumbs:

You know that's right.:cheers:

SWEEEETTTTT!!! :thumbs: What's funny is now I almost want to try it to fwonk with people's minds. :eek: :naughty: :lol:

That's my plans. I just can't figure out how to attach the strings of lights to my wheels and not get them tangled up when I drive.:dunno: :crackup:

What's up Hot rod. :cheers: Yeah I did the upgrade with the bigger alt and 0 gauge power wire and bigger grounding wire. :thumbs:

I just want to be one of the :quote:cool kids:quote: :cool: LOL JK I plan on a few more lights, a few amps, a power invertor and a winch down the road and want to make sure I plan ahead and have enough power to run it all. Granted I probably won't be running more then a few of the add ons at...

Works for me. Thanks.:cheers:

I always LOVE pics.:thumbs: Feel free to post if you want.:cheers: Yeah I figured out how to install the factory tray ( that's it installed in the pic with the red circles). I have a K&N cold air intake so the box wasn't an issue and I figured out about moving the overflow tank out of the...

Nope. Went to the GM dealer (less then 2 minutes from my house. ALWAYS a nice convenience :thumbs:) and bought the secondary tray. The battery is a Car Quest the previous owner had as the factory replacement.

So I removed this tray: and installed the secondary battery tray. Not only would the fender support be in the way but so is the fWONking mounting tab. (so is the AC line) :frustration:: I'm going to take it to my friend's shop and see if he can loosen up the flare nuts and twist the line...

Yeah it's MY truck but, it's also MY wallet sponsoring the project.:( LOL so I'd be glad to save an extra expense. :thumbs: :lol::lol: No thanks. That's a thought thanks. :cheers:

Thanks I'll double check on that. :cheers: I don't know if the majority of people who do this just don't bother to put the bar back in or if the batter is in the way. :confused: I bought the tray yesterday and will be installing it today or tomorrow so I'll set the battery in and see. As for...

I had written a post a while back about a dual battery install I wanted to do. This is what the finished product would look like. (Minus the bar over the battery.) LOL I'm not sure if this project will take place next week or within the month etc. For now I will be using the old stock...

Small update. 2 Regulars came into work last night 1 says he has a co worker who set up an account to get rims whole sale and the other works at a tire recycling facility. 5 Humvee tires "almost new"........$30 EACH!!!:thumbs::thumbs::fingertime::fingertime::wookie::wookie::rocker::rocker...

Sweet.:thumbs: I guess also the Humvee's are 84lbs ea vs. 92.6 lbs. ea for my Toyos. So I guess the few ponds I lose on the tires I gain having to switch from aluminums to steel. Can't win for loosing. :rolleyes:

Yeah here in Florida we seem to have an ample supply of the Humvee tires and good luck getting the Thorley's :thumbs:

On average $100 (used ) each mounted/balanced with 65% plus tread vs. mine @ $400-$500 each mounted/balanced. I can't afford the 1 let alone 1 plus a spare. The truck was purchased with the hopes the construction work would pick back up and up keep could be absorbed. As is I'm trying to find...
