What have you done to your ride lately?

[TacoXpo]

took the ARE Camper Shell off my bed today too see how much weight it took off.

More than what it weighed?

 

[Oury]

ya it was, but still have some sag in the leafs, so Ill be getting that progressive 3-AAL pack from Wheelers. Got my exhaust redone first....

Melted down another 150 amp fuse block in the Taco for the Oasis compressor! Not sure what happened. Last time I used it I didn't have any issues. Anyhow, pisses me off.. completely melts the damn things, they look like they are filled with clear and red bubble gum. Ordered a 200 amp breaker for it.

Glad I did it the easy way with the CO2 now, after seeing this happen on a few trucks...

 

[Silverback]

Ideally you should have both

Yep. The CO2 should put out the fire

 

[Silverback]

Lol

That thing must be pulling a lot of power to do that to a 150 amp fuse. Is there an issue with the pump or a bad ground? Maybe part of the power wire is frayed and touching something that is grounded?

 

[taco4x4rar]

How do you keep melting those things? Thats a lot of freaking amperage to destroy one of those like that. I dare say you could use one of those as part of a welding lead fuck it up that bad

I think its the positive clamp.. its not so tight. I'll be trying to make it tighter. But the compressor is capable of pulling 180 amps.

I guess we may now know why winches don't have fuses! I also now appreciate how I fried my stock battery so quickly!

Took it out for my version of Mall Crawling aka picking the kids up from school after a good rain.

Will that buff out or are you going to have it repainted?

I think Keith needs a smaller beer cooler for when he's picking kids up from school.

That's where he hides the other kids he picks up on the way...

None of the scratches/dents on my truck will buff out, the paint job is trashed..

 

[Silverback]

LOL.. thats sick.. I love it.

I got the front lift put on today. Not real hard but took a little to make sure it was done right. I could probably do it again in much less time.
Now just have to get the leafs and shocks put on out back.
Pictures will be added to my build thread later.
