831Tun How'd I get here build?

LOL. At least you have more light now. Probably come in handy in a few weeks.

 

We're really gonna need amber for the dust. Dust is about all we're gonna see of Alex on the trail.

 

just another reason to upgrade....

 

That’s a nice light bar, how do you like it?

 

Honestly, I haven't really had a chance to test it but it seems pretty bright. Seems pretty focused straight forward. How 'bout you, I noticed you added something very similar?

 

Yep same one, wasn’t sure if you had seen mine and gave it a try. Very impressed by mine, when I tested it, mine is driven about 75-80% so typical china bar in that respect, but much better optics. I did get some RF interference, but some ferrite suppressors cleaned it up. My ditch lights are the same, and very impressive. Did you order direct from China?

 

It was funny, browsing your build page and seeing you had the same bar. At that point mine was still sitting on top of the planer in the shop.
Yes I did order from China, through DH Gate. Originally the price was about 149 on sale. After a month I decided to see if it had shipped.The price was $197 on my order so I wrote to cancel. They responded really quickly and said, "no, the order has been processed." My ass! The status of the order changed between messages. They processed the order AFTER I wrote to cancel.
When the bar arrived 2 of the wires were severed where they enter the bung fitting. So I got to repair all that before install.
The hardware and brackets are a nice heavy gauge stainless and have a secondary securing screw so the bar won't rotate (a big selling points for me)
I haven't noticed any RF issues but probably will now that you've mentioned it.

 

I really like the new light bar warren!

 

Thanks Mark. The "fill 4 at once" air system worked but needs a little fine tuning. Pretty cool over all and fast.

 

Dial it in. I'd love to see it work in person. Maybe Hijack a few hoses to fill mine.. We can make extensions.

 

Light looks great Warren, happy to hear the air system worked out that's awesome.

 

Thanks Greg. I heard a rumor you might try to make it out west next spring?

 

Yes Sir, that is the plan.

 

I'm going to need a detailed itinerary so I can follow you around and drool over that truck

 

I have to admit it's really looking badass thanks to @GreatAvalon. He has my stereo installed, front and rear cameras, all my upfront electronics ( battery, distro block etc..., all my accessory switches installed, my TR12 installed and programed to shut of my nannies and turn my tow haul button on at ignition, my 2019 TRD pro headlights and 2018 grille with black logo, my ADD bumper and my Onyx 6 + lightbar. Matt is just incredible, super hepfull with this build. Trying to get over there today he's going to tackle my high output alternator and big 3 upgrade.

 

And what about you?! T2S again?!

 

I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping the Bastrds can make an appearance en masse and I'd like to bring the trailer this time. I hope you'll act as guide and take us to some cool spots. With a little luck my truck will be LT by then, front end at least.
Those new tires of yours look great!

 

Mann!! Greg, your truck looks frickin' awesome. That's what mine wants to be when it grows up.
With my nannies, I have to start the truck and stay in park for about 3-5 seconds for the nannies to be shut off. Do you have that wait time too?

 

Seriously dude!!! That is a bad ass freaking truck!!

 

Yes but I don't think it's that long though, Matthew actually messed with the program on the TR12 and really fine tuned it. This truck the Gen 2 is faster than my Gen 3 but while he had his laptop out he re-programed my Gen 3 to be quicker. At start tow haul comes on first, then the nannies get shut down

 

I agree, it's not long I'm just kinda dumb, or excited to be wheeling, and forget to wait. I also run mine through a switch. So, the truck operates normally day to day but when off road I flip the switch while in Park and nannies cycle off. Once I hit asphalt again I can flip the switch and return it to the OEM function.

 

That's cool. The TR12 runs through the OEM switch so you can turn them back on if you like, for me I have lockers so no need to turn them back on. Can't wait to get out there and wheel with you guys.

 

Of course!

Wait you're going LT?! Damn I have been gone for awhile lol.

 

I'm beginning to collect the parts.Got some front fenders and SGU Roy is replacing his TC LT with LSK and I'm acquiring his takeoffs. Eventually I'd like to go with the LSK cantilever rear setup to avoid cutting holes in the bed and losing space to a cage.
And yes, you've been gone too long. I hope the house is coming along well though.

 

Nice Warren! I’ve heard LT is the new MT... RCSB. Going to be nice to see you and meet some more Bastrds next weekend.

 

LT FTW!

 

Gotta keep up with your build.

 

How that ADS suspension been? Drive well on road?

 

Drives well on and off road. I've got 700lb springs and stock valving. I find the front a tad stiff on road but it also allowed me to delete the front sway bar. Off road I wouldn't want a lower spring rate for high speeds. The rear bypasses yield a Cadilac smooth ride. I think the ideal MT front might be a flutter valved C/O with a secondary bypass but I'd need to get some advice on that setup. I would seek advice from SGU guys if I were gonna go that route. @trd1559 and @GodlessPro are running ADS if you'd like more opinions.

 

The ADS coilovers utilize a flutter
