Had a productive day. I changed my rear diff and transfer case fluid. I added some more gasket material under my topper hopefully that will stop the little leak I had upfront. Mounted my new cobra 75 and mag mount antenna and I bent up a panel to hold my blue seas aux fuse panel.


My truck looks weird without the topper on it. But thank god for using the over head crane in the hangar made it pretty easy.

Ran the coax the same as my last antenna

And where it will be plugging in and in its holder when in use. But I will just keep it in the center console when it's not in use .

Since this seems to be the unofficial Coast Guard meet-up page. Danny, from Deland, Florida. Active, Recruiting in Riverside, CA. Do you ever see any good waves out at Pasagshac ? Not sure if i spelled that right but last time I was up in Kodiak I heard it was a good place to surf.

 

[uscg2008]

Hhahahhaha ya I kinda is. Ya pasagshack gets some pretty decent waves at times but a lot of the time it is pretty flat. I can't wait to go back to a place where I can skimboard and body surf again!! What were you doing here and how do you like the 909? Ahahahha

Wow, it has been years since I've been to Saultry Cove. No picture of the washout?

Get a piece of rubber/plastic door edge trim to keep on the lower edge of your shovel blade. Those QuickFists won't let go, but after a few miles on a bumpy track they will let that round handle rotate enough that the shovel blade will be resting/vibrating against your topper. I don't mind mine rubbing on the bottom of my hitch carrier (lower left in the picture below), but it does rub/rattle against it.

no we turned around before that. We started a little late in day and were just cruising, plus we had to trim in a few spot so we turned around at mile 16.

Thanks for the ideas, I am already making a cover for it

Installed some tuff country universal shock boots on my icons

And I got my new battery tray by pelfreybilt for the group 31 diehard I'm going to be getting

 

[uscg2008]

I know it's been a while but I finally got my battery. Thanks again to pelfreybilt and Benbacher for helping me with shipping.

Waiting for a couple more things to finish up wiring in my blueseas aux fuse box

Also got a cvt 99" awning from benbacher for my cargo trailer conversion I'm about to start

 

[uscg2008]

SO I mounted my National Luna single battery monitor to keep an eye on my group 31. Mounted it in my sunglasses holder and the best part is I can still fit a pair of shades in there

Truck off

Truck on and charging

Nice rig! What headlight housings are you running?

 

[1 Bored Clerk]

I really dig that pelfrybuilt battery tray. Sooo nice. I've seen plenty of those batteries mounted without anything fancy but you certainly did it the right way. I kind of want to put in a group 31 just so I 'need' the mount!

I'm running eBay headlights that had the bhlm done already. Then I added retrofit projector from theretrofitsource.com that I custom painted the projector bezel white, I also painted the reflector bowl black since the projectors don't use them.

thanks the mount does give me piece of mind since the battery is so big and so heavy. Knowing that it isn't going anywhere make me feel better.
