The S.S. TRDFerguson: Captain’s Log

Ordered. Not the 8112's, though. Can't afford them today!

 

In true cheapskate and #refaktor fashion, I picked up @BiggHertz' gently used Onx6 Plus 30" light bar for a steal. Getting it into the Ironman Raid bumper was a bitch and a half, but it works and is solid. While I was in there, I also relocated the winch power toggle to the SP9100, so pairing that with the remote plug relocation, I no longer need to reach inside the bumper to use the winch.

Toight like a toiger. In the side bracket pics, I had already carved out some of the bumper metal to make room. I ended up needing to hack out a little more to give myself enough space for the final mounting. It's very, VERY close to the winch control box, but should be okay.





Turned out great though. 10/10 would do again.

 

I should probably read a few of these build threads one day. I really just prefer bugging people I guess

 

This is so good btw

 

I should start a build thread. Called….ToyoMafia’s copy cat tundra build featuring better ideas and techniques then I could come up with.

 

Do you have a write up of how you accomplished this? It looks so badass

 

If I'm ever stuck not being able to do stuff for a while maybe I'll start one.

 

Yeah, you’re just gonna call one of us whenever you run into anything questionable. And we love you for it.

 

Such a slacker.

 

I’ve only got what I captured in this thread… I’m pretty sure I copied it from someone else on the forum though, so I’ll see if I can find where/who that was.

 

Also a slacker.

 

I have a half cooked drag boat thread to prove that.

 

And while folks would love your build thread, I think the boat thread is more enjoyable. 1) jet boat 2) unique info on the forum

 

Slightly offended…do I own anything that is lightly used?

 

Sunday driven, never off roaded.

 

Es hot.

 

Should've installed the amber lenses I gave you.

 

Shelf-ware or full send
Nothing in the middle

 

Was just gonna ask about those

 

Back before AI and still a solid edit.

 

I like to think this is how Mr. Rogers was as a human being. So real, so pure.

 

I traded my TRD engine skid and local fab shop cat plate to @AT x AT for his RCI steel setup a couple weeks ago. Today I finally had time to scotchbrite and rattle can them all while I listened to work calls all morning. Decided to do the front engine plate in an off white to make it stand out a bit, kinda like the TRD plate. I need to get some slaps on it. And maybe one that says Lays Potato Chips to match the well-used curviness that Jimmy imparted.

 

What kind of bolts did you go with where the 2 skids overlap?
Mine has common hex head bolts for now but I don't like how they stick out.

 

I used @Talon2006's nut plate and it was a game changer. Makes the skid install so much easier. https://talonsgarage.com/products/trd-nut-plate

 

Pulled the Onx6 out today and swapped the lenses to amber.


Definitely looks better in the bumper, but I’ll have to see how the output changed next time I’m out at night. Guessing it’s still bright AF…

 

Sigh. *unzips
