    Checked out the site, that thing is pretty awesome, and the top section comes off it you want to run fast. Good thing they don't seem to have Gen 1 plans.

    Well Black Friday is a stupid name. Should be Red Friday. Regardless, this is cool.

    I'm loving the build so far! What is this latest project, with the wires and stuff?

    Thanks @dinosaur! I love it too. Can’t wait to get the bed back on. That’s most of the stuff for a switch pro 9100 tray.

    Me neither. I've been looking at the system and the builds for a while. A few weeks back I bought some scrap aluminum, kind of a telegraph to myself. @empty_lord pushed me across the line (no fault of his) and Black Friday and all...
    I have some more research to do, and other pressing matters. So this will sit a bit. But, seems to me a pretty slick setup to be had if I don't F-it-up.

    No - the deal was the Switch Pro (as good as they get anyway). Just regular Amazon prices for these...

    I’m starting to understand why they charge a kidney for these things. No shortcuts on build from what’s observable anyway.

    Yeah, I like mine, just need to put it to use somehow :)

    I believe I do have terminals and connectors for the switch module somewhere as it's a long cable, but for mounting in the overhead we probably need as much length as we can get.

    Where was the 9100 purchase from?

    Ah, hotshot, didn’t realize he might do a discount on these. Thanks.

    Yes sir. There’s only so much give on these things, so discount is subjective….

    There’s a lot I hope to get done today, I’ll probably get to half. New hangers, OEM shock bolts, exhaust dump (not sure if my am run got what I needed), reservoir mounts, and blah blah. But it would be cool to get the bed back on.

    Shackle mount removal went well but took a while for one side. These Archive Hammer Hangers are no joke.

    @Darkness, I think we took care of the limiting bolts situation ;0

    @empty_lord, it can be done, but a cross tie/brace would take some doing to keep the spare.

    Cross beam, full overkill wall thickness, but it was waiting for me at the metal supply. DOM baby.

    Well damn now you have more droop. Are your shocks still alright with full droop?

    I didn't really want hammers before... but this is changing my mind.

    Full droop is really great. These springs go farther than anything else with with the drop shackles. I’ll have to limit them, but not for anything other than hard runs. I’m more concerned about up travel. I’m going to vise my bump stops and see how short they can get.

    Still not the master welder, but fair enough for onshore wind outside…
