Ordered my SFD today!


Recommended Posts

My buddy swung by and helped me mount my mudflaps. Always helps to have a 2nd set of eyes. Not too shabby, but I'm a bit disappointed that it's just screws through rubber....no metal plate or anything. We'll see how long they stay on.

Also, I found out that they don't make a Batman tire cover in size 33", so when I get a new cover I'm going to find a shop that will cut this one and sew it on. My kids call it "The Batmobile". :D

My SFD certainly got tested this last weekend. Mild to wild trails out in Ocotillo Wells, CA.

 

A few pics for your viewing pleasure.

The times that make me want a Jeep....then I remember that I don't want to pay the $$$ for a Jeep.

I think I could have gone further, but with a 5 and 7 year old screaming in the back seat...it's hard to concentrate when you're laughing too hard!

Gotta love CA. Middle of nowhere...there's a bathroom with a handicap parking space...

View from Tetherball hill...right before sunset. Lovely scenic shot of Salton Sea.

Overall, the SFD gave me great ground clearance! I still only rubbed on the front tires at max turn. Other than a harbor freight air pump, I didn't have any broken bits. On-board air will be my next purchase after the power installs are finished. The roof rack worked great and gave me much more room in the cargo area. I need to mount a shovel and pick up a high lift jack also.

TMax installed, RigRunner installed....and....Front/Rear camera installation is a complete success! :friday:

Video screen and TMax controller.

Here's the video screen. I think I put links in my thread. It clips onto the mirror. This is the rear camera.

I ran the wires for both under the headliner and down the driver side. Also where I mounted the RigRunner. Currently the RigRunner is powering 1. CB radio 2. Video Screen 3. Power to rear accessory plugs (not ran yet....I need to pull all the stuff out of the rear to run the video from the rear and the power cable behind the interior panels.)

I may be late, but here's the pic for Kyle94. :wiggle:

Also...this is via the video screen...which will be awful at night...especially considering my limo/desert tint...and it was very bright out this particular day.

Dunno. It's configured to clip over the mirror, top and bottom. Still not sure what I'm doing with the compass...whether to hook it up or use it for some other purpose. Maybe dash mount. I'll ride with it for a while and see what it's future holds. 8)

I had a feeling that would be a craptastic mirror D:
Im looking to do that same idea but with this- http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-TT-CM04-Widescreen-Headrest-Universal/dp/B008EQQSXA/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383883011&sr=1-4&keywords=7+Inch+16%3A9+TFT+LCD+Widescreen+Car+Rearview+Monitor

Thanks for the idea! It is defiantly going to help when going over hills. Nice to see what is on other side!

 

BECAUSE RACE TRUCK!

I didn't want a dash mount. I currently park in a condo parking lot. Prying eyes....out of sight out of mind. From the outside, without close inspection, my interior looks mostly stock.

 

Such cool pictures, thanks for sharing! Truck looks great

 

Thank you!

 

I plan to hit up my local fab shop to ask about skid plates in the next couple weeks....since Fleury's closed up that side of the shop. :/
