Had some work done to the sliders

[Macguyvermedic]

^ Looks awesome Tom. Custom or White knuckle for the sliders?

 

[TomsRedX]

Custom, had some added to the original.

Got the sliders bed lined and put back on.

 

[TomsRedX]

Installed a 24" LED light strip under the hood with a plunger switch so they come on when the hood opens.

Also got some Icon 2.5's installed for another inch of lift in the front. No pics of them installed yet though.

 

[drbandkgb]

I like that light mod

 

[TomsRedX]

Thanks, its a lot brighter than the pic shows. I also put some in the back and wired them to the cargo light so they work with the stock switch.

 

[drbandkgb]

Tom the good... Tom the wise

 

[Killswitch]

Dude, the lights on the hood are pretty sweet, might have to do something like that.

 

[TomsRedX]

It's a pretty easy install, just have to drill a hole to install the plunger switch.

 

[Killswitch]

Sweet, adding it to the list

 

[TomsRedX]

Interior lights LED conversion, check. Added a 12" LED strip in each rear corner and a 24" strip to the hatch.

Night pics with the iPhone= crappy pics.

 

[BlOwNXT]

^^ Wow that looks awesome! Great job!

Thanks! The LED swap really brightens it up.

 

[BlOwNXT]

Where did you get the LED strips from? Was it the ones at auto parts store or did you order them from somewhere?

[TomsRedX]

The ones at auto stores are kinda pricey. I got mine on line at V-LEDS.com http://www.v-leds.com/Strip-Lights-LED/6K-White-Strip-Lights/sc484346//page/1/checkForLanding/true

 

[BlOwNXT]

It seems you used about 72 inches. What size roll did you buy

[TomsRedX]

I got 2- 24" and 2-12" strips. I didn't want to mess with cutting and soldering wires to the strips so I got the individual strips.

 

[BlOwNXT]

Oh ok. Looks great!

Rutted out hill climb and too much skinny pedal = disaster. I was able to drive it home with no issues though.

Diff oil, not looking so good.

Pulled the cover to see this

How the hell was I able to drive with this inside and not break the case?

 

[drbandkgb]

Dude that is crazy...

 

[bigjim247365]

did you lose any teeth on the ring and or pinion?

 

[TomsRedX]

I don't think so but I haven't taken them out too look at them.

 

[RATTFINK]

Good gobble man!!

 

[J Everett]

Sweet Jeebus.

 

[TomsRedX]

LOL, when I pulled the cover I said HOLY CRAP!

 

[Mr.Ed]

O Dam that Blows that the diff shot craps !!! I had that happen to my jeep but it was the rear diff ring gear! Looking at the ring gear after wipeing my tears away I saw that there was a bubble in the casting and it was where the thing exploded, yeah i feel your pain !! Oh and love how your hood looks with the black on it ,i might do mine like that !!

 

[TomsRedX]

Thanks, I used Duplicolor bed liner rattle cans.

 

[bigjim247365]

I don't think so but I haven't taken them out too look at them.

well hopefully both of them were untouched, best of wishes on thoses repairs good sir!

 

[Macland]

How's the diff man?

 

[drbandkgb]

I think Tom was at ECXC so.. I hope for some great news

 

[Xado89]

Man, crazy about the diff's. On the side note, your rig is pure awesome. I love the color combo, eventually my Silver will be all gone to be red/black.

 

[TomsRedX]

Thanks Xado89!

I ended up getting another front diff and had an ARB air locker installed. Now I'm locked front and rear. ARB works great!

Also got a Shrock rear bumper with tire carrier and added to the sliders.

 

[AZhiAZiAM]

that's looks awesome man! what sliders did you go with?

 

[civicjoe]

dude nice! I want to get the arb rear locker, but probably should pay it off first

 

[TomsRedX]

They are my own design, had a couple different guys weld on them.

 

[gorillamel]

Whoa front and rear lockers? Beyond *jealous*!

Sliders look awesome. In fact, whole rig looks downright stupendous! Nice work, sir.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Fully locked? That's awesome man
