MYoung84's 2012 Power Wagon Build Thread

[myoung84]

Here are the rest of the pics. The lights are Hella 500FF with the outside being fog lights and the inside being driving lights. All wiring was soldered and wrapped in wire loom for a factory look. The are controlled from 2 separate switches from my switch panel.

Very impressive man, great work! Trucks looking awesome!

 

[myoung84]

Thanks!

I can't wait to see some 'at night' shots... Hint Hint...

That's a beast man!

Not at all! Powder coating the bumpers makes it look a whole lot better. You'll need to do something with the grille too because with black bumpers the chrome grille just doesn't look good.


Might HID them in the future, we'll see... If I do it will be 3000k in the outside fogs and 5000k in the center driving lights. Probably no to the Laminx.



Ahh, just do it and beg for forgiveness. That's what I do and it's worked so far...


The website says it can handle 4 9" lights with ease! That's a lot of lights!

Yeah for sure. Especially since I don't have my stock wheels anymore. It would be the only chrome on the truck.

Looks good. I almost. Bought that light bar but instead did the rhino bumpers

 

[myoung84]

I like those bumpers but that's a little out of my price range right now...

Lights look good! You sure aren't afraid to get that thing dirty

I'm not at all scared! It might have a $50k sticker price and only have 2300 miles on it, but it's still an off-road truck and will get used as one!

I feel the same way! Even with $3k wheels and tires. That's what discount tires warranty is for lol.

Here's a pic of the clutch plate. It is removable to make it easier to drill the holes.

I would usually but with a baby popping out next month, it is really not a good time to get her worked up. haha

 

[Bigdaddy]

It's looking good.

I remembered that I had a label maker at work and had an idea to label my buttons. I tried the white labels with black font first and it didn't look good, so I ordered some labels that were black with white font and went at it. Yes, some are a little crooked, but I will reprint and fix it later. I think this is better than AUX 1-4. I might want to remove the locker bypass sticker before taking it to the dealer though...

 

[Musclemckeester]

That's a great idea. I have my switch wired, tied together and ready to go, hopefully this weekend I can try it out.

So you're going to put the front camera on a switch? May need to get some more details on that sometime.

 

[myoung84]

When you get your buttons figured out let me know and I'll send you some labels. Just paypal me a couple bucks to cover shipping and offset the $30 label cartridge...

And yes, the front camera will be activated by a switch. I haven't installed it yet but will post full details when I get to that point.

 

[Musclemckeester]

I've got a small label maker at work too. I actually used it to label each wire coming out of the switch so I could zip tie them all together. I'll have to see if we have a cartridge with a black background though. If not, I know who to talk to about some.

 

[myoung84]

First damage to the paint, and it wasn't even self inflicted! Just noticed this last night, not sure what happened but it looks like a giant rock hit it. Front and center on the hood. Never saw anything...

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Oh wow. That's bad.
