Them Be Me Mods

Hopefully this will help those who have asked about the BB Winch Plate. The U-Bolts mostly come into play when winching upwards since the Plate's Lip (Yellow) is behind the bumper for added support when pulling straight ahead. The existing bolts are used to attach to the truck (Red).

I like how your truck look original, but when you get into the details, you realize it has many many mods. Very nice build.
 
Dave here's a few vids of JD, Joe and you from Rausch Creek the other day. I intended to get lots of pics and vids to document our day but unfortunately this is all I got. :( Next time I guess.

Speaking of next time, how about we set up another outing soon? I'm thinking mid/late May what do you think?

Hey, I'm on YouTube! Thanks for the Vids. The only thing I miss about the Jeep is the shorter hood. Although the front camera really helps see what I'm about to come crashing down on.

We should be good to go after the Overland Expo in May or early June. Lets post up sooner than later so others can join as well. Jessie needs new pinstripes and Antman said he is ready! Maybe we can even convince 1E to venture North. :lookout:

"Stop texting while driving!" :lmao:

This looks really fun! Do you guys go on trails that are stock friendly? or at least take paths with bypasses for the less daring?

My wife doesn't want to go exploring off-road alone anymore and is requiring me to make friends. Permission to tag along one of these times sir :hello:
 
Yeah, they wanted me to put out my smoke - put down the phone and at least pretend to pay attention. Truth be told, I should have bypassed that trail but am glad I didn't. Too bad Billy did not have audio of later down that trail when he called me. :cell:

Anyways, no permission required. We normally start a thread and all are welcome. Last weekend we did one Black hill climb / decent so that's more than off my bucket list. We decide on the go which trials to hit but no problem if anybody decides to try a different route if they don't feel comfortable. I've done it more than once without shame. Stock is usually fine but do remember that you are driving off road and anything can happen. Last year we promised a newbie he would be fine only to learn later (afterwards) that some green trails were wrongly marked on the map. For all I know he may still be sleeping on the couch. Gulp!

Come hell or high water, we will get you home - one way or another. We will also make a reasonable effort to get your truck home - one way or another. :wink2:

Ahem....I am not still on the couch...matter of fact the only thing she would have ever noticed enough to care about me taking my 3 month old 40k+ truck into the woods with a bunch of maniacs..errr great guys was the drivers side rocker panel which got fairly friendly with a rock at some point....i smeared some touch up paint in there and now it just looks like something shed probably prefer not to ask about....simply to avoid my explanation (lie). Furthermore, my purely stock truck, to quote Billy, held its own pretty well and all I had are some pinstripes, that battle scar on the rocker and some scratches underneath....I think I learned that offroading is 50% how your truck is prepared and 50% how you drive it/listen to your spotters...

Now...had I now had the incredible hulk holding me from rolling over...you may still be wondering about my whereabouts to this day....

[MENTION=6163]phillyd2[/MENTION] are you still liking the Ram mount you pieced together? Anything you'd change? I was going to do that universal no drill mount but I don't want vibes like you said you had issues with. I like your setup tho.

Very much. It's solid as a rock both on and off road. Bobby has my no drill mount so hopefully he has found a way to use it. The 4G LTE iPad mini with GPS chip is really brilliant and I use it all of the time. There are some really amazing apps out there.

The only thing I added was additional power outlets near where my cb cable comes out. Other than that I would not change anything.

Like Mr. Big Mouth says, I've got tons of new mod pictures to up load but they will need to wait for a few weeks as we are hitting the road again next week. I think I finally see the light at the end of the mod tunnel.

I'm a fan of how Netflix dumps a whole season at one time for marathon viewing so......

Worked with Paul at CanvasbackUSA to make up a set of liners for the ARB Drawers. Same great customer service and quality as what they normally offer. He should still have the templates if anybody is interested in a set.
