Crazydubman's 97 limited runner build

[crazydubman]

Well sorry for the lax picture updates.

Hopefully these will make up for that :surfer:

Bumpers painted and mounted - Check (need to fine tune the alignment on the front... May need to shim the crossmember from the bottom to tilt it back some)

winch and 100 ft synthetic line mounted - Check

Aluminum fairlead - Check

100W Hella Micro DE projector fogs - Check

CB antenna and Coax cable mounted - Check

Flag mount - Check

Still to do:
100W Hella 500's and light tabs
CB wired up and powered
Trans cooler
switches in dash for lighting
fuse block for all extra power needs
Sliders welded up
Rock lights mounted and wired
Whitson metalworks roof rack
install raingler cargo restraint netting
Storage racking for cargo area

There is probably more, but thats a good start hahaha. :fro:

so.............much............envy.....................

 

[crazydubman]

haha thanks Drew.

Actually I forgot one other thing that I am following up on tomorrow... yet again...

3 high output LED pods per side drilled and mounted to the little panel under the headlights. (Like Dirtco's setup)

That way i can do away with the ugly factory turns ziptied to the bumper....... Sucks but have to stay legal right...

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

i want both of those so bad!

 

[crazydubman]

haha. Both of what?

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

haha. Both of what?

the bumpers.

 

[crazydubman]

didn't you just get your rear bumper done?

 

[Rod]

Wow, your truck looks great!! Hopefully mine will look half as good when I am done.

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

didn't you just get your rear bumper done?

yeah but it was ony $100. all i really need is the front i guess

 

[crazydubman]

Thanks Rod,

Still have a bunch more things to cross off the list. Most of which I have sitting in the garage waiting for the time.....

 

[crazydubman]

They got a sale right now.
$475 and you get the crossmember included. Its another 75 to ship so 550 for everything.

You know I didn't even notice this in your build thread but someone Photoshopped an addicted to the front of yours hahaha

that should be sweet. i dont really like them on his but i think they will blend in better on yours.

I'm gonna see how the 3 on each side work out. I may end up adding a couple more per side to fill in the space more. It looks like there should be room for 5 total if I space them out correctly. I'm actually running amber ones not the clear. I have always been a fan of the contrast of the factory lens's on cars over clear and smoked. Call me a purest :tongue:

hey i dont blame you. thats why when i got my 99+ headlights i had to get 99+ marker lights to lol.

 

[crazydubman]

Very true. The headlights would be a nice addition some day. LED tails would come first though. Need to get my LED panels wired up in the 3rd brake light too.

i would like to do LED 3rd brake light to. since mine isnt working anyways lol

I will be building a custom one actually off the factory one. 2 or 3 red LED panels mounted behind the factory red lens. Just need to silicone a plastic panel inside flat against the reflector and use self adhesive backing tape for the LED panels. I believe I can fit 3 but have 2 currently. Save yourself the 50 bucks and pick up a couple red panels like what you just got for the dome lights. they have a spade connector adapter included. solder the leads together into one harness and run them to the factory bulb socket.

We will see how it works out.
