01f1502wd's build thread: project Stormtrooper

Man that looks sick! Now wheres the mid/longtravel!

 

Yeah the only reason really that I didn't get it is because I don't like how high above the roof it mounts (and because I'd probably have to spend another $1000+ on lights, high lift jack, axe, spare tire/rim and what not to put on it..

But I think that all looks a lot better on a lifted truck like yours

 

thanks bud! hopefully I can get out of college and get a job and a house with some land where I can have a shop but I want to build something like this:



incorparated into this:





but at the front I want this to replace my fullsize toolbox:



probably wont have it be that wide because of the vertical tubes for the rack. but it will be bolted to the cage. and I will have the cage welded to tabs that will be using the factory bed bolts and the spare tire carrier will be a bolt in in case I need to carry something, also I wont have my jack, fire extin. all exposed, thats why ill have the tool box.

also, Ill have a tube bender so it will be a lot cleaner and leave me a lot more room for carrying stuff.

 

I know how to wire up lights n stuff... But i have some more questions for yall:

If i have my off road lights (2 per switch), can i have another seperate switch so i can turn them all on at once?

Another thing.... For one light thats 55W, if i have a 15ga wire will that be brighter or dimmer or the same as the same light with a 0ga wire?


And boom goes the dynamite.

 

im pretty sure you can, but ill let someone else jump in here and answer your question before i give you my idea of how id do it.

 

If i have my off road lights (2 per switch), can i have another seperate switch so i can turn them all on at once?

yes, just run the switch wire to the relays you want it to turn on.

Another thing.... For one light thats 55W, if i have a 15ga wire will that be brighter or dimmer or the same as the same light with a 0ga wire?

check the amp draw of the light. It will most likely be the same.

Check the chart out
American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies

 

I see, I was just checking, because I am going to get a bunch of electrical connectors and make a real nice wiring harness

 

For the love of god straighten out that front brush guard bumper thing. I'm tired of looking at that crooked shat.


Nice roof rack tho

 

Lol to straighten it out id have to cut it off.... Ill just sell it then for my new one it wont be like that. If i put a top bar on it, it will be one piece thats bent... But i aint modding that one anymore not worth it imo, the new guy can if he wants.

Thanks for the comment, ive got a box in the mail that im mounting up there this weekend hopefully, then ill be able to wire up all my lights and have a sweet light switch board in the cab, ill also try to finish up my CB and PA system too


And boom goes the dynamite.
