RedRunner's 2016 SR5 Build and Adventure Thread

[Advtres]

I really like my CaliRaised one. Just a heads up, the switch panel right next to the steering wheel(pictured far right) will need a little bit a filing to get to depress nicely. There is a little notch in there that interferes with he button.

Thanks for the tip and good to know, I am planning on getting some ditch lights so will fiddle with the whole contraption when I get to wiring those in
See ya down the trail

No. Some guy took a left in front my GF and then stopped in the intersection. GF hit him at about 10-15mph. Gotta wait for insurt before I install the bumper now ugh

Well hopefully everyone is ok, hopefully she did them better then they did you! Nothing worse then the deer manuever, I have had that happen on my motorcycle, its like darn it if you just kept going instead of stopping we would be ok!

That's exactly what she said. If he put a little oof in his gas pedal this would have been avoided. She said the Civic looked way worse than the Runner did. Good news got the light bar all buttoned up so that should be all good to go. Just need to finish wiring the switches up, so when I the bumper goes in the light bar will be good to go. Then gotta sell the Rago mount and lights.

If you want to run the ExtremeLED x6s light bar, you will have to use the supplied TSO brackets. However due to the wiring the driver side bracket will not fit. I had to grind it down a good bit. The supplied ExtremeLED brackets will not work. I forgot to upload that picture but I will later.

Forgot to add:

Rear Diff and T-case are finished. Running Amsoil in them. Weather hasn't been cooperating so it is hard to get it done.

That’s a really oil sticker. I’m using patches inside my Jeep to keep track of the states that I have visited.

That's a good idea too! Where do you buy your patches?

 

[ObiShawnKenobi]

My wife got hem off of Amazon. It was a big bag of all 50 states. :)

That is really awesome! I will have to look that up and make a patch wall.

We decided to move the horns and install the Winch Control Box in this location and mount the horns on the hood latch bracket.

When the first negative degree weather hit, the original battery on Ruby decided that it wasn't liking the weather. Went and installed an AGM battery.
