WOOHOO!!

 

That I like!

 

Mounted it, just need to wire it up...with the distance between the batt and the inverter, I'm probably going to need 1 or 0 gauge wire.

 

Where did you get it and how much ???......thats a lot of wattage !

 

Took a little break to show you guys my progress on fixing this dent on the chrome bumper with bondo. Im painting it semi gloss black. I think it's more flat than anything but looks nice to me. I managed to get the dent sculpted to the best of my abilities. Im still shaping up but I got the ridge shape with the bumper. The grill is on it's first coat and ready for round 2. I should be done in a few hours. maybe..... Here are some flicks I shot for you late owls... Enjoy..

 

Looking good, I love a good garage paint job... Keep 'em coming.

 

Check with welding supply house for welding lead in whatever size ya go with (2ga +). Not necessarily cheaper (copper is EXPENSIVE), but that fine-strand wire in nearly bullet-proof shielding is about as good as you can get for this application. They will also have different dia. ring terminals, etc for the ends. Well, prolly is cheaper than the stereo shop...

I always use a propane/mapp torch to heat the terminal/wire up and then melt a puddle of solder in the terminal and finally dunk the wire into the solder. Don't forget some HD shrink tubing for that super-pro look!

 

I just finished the last coat on the grill. Getting ready to wash all the dust off the bumper and wash it really good before paint.

Question, Can I wet the bondo at this point? It's been cured for about 30 minutes. I already sanded it smooth.

 

It's been a year or two since I've used body filler but I think I have painted it as soon as it was dry enough to sand - at the point where it comes off dusty/grainy when you sand it. But when in doubt, read the directions! And reps to you for having the ***** to ditch the chrome bumper!

 

WOOOOT! Now that's the ticket!

 

what are you doing to that chrome to get paint to stick to it? just sanding it? what grit? i wanna paint all my chrome black also. i hate chrome with a passion.

 

I saw it on Costco's site, then looked it up on Amazon and got it through them (free shipping).

 

Guess where daddy's going tomorrow?! Lucky me, I just picked up a propane torch the other day from an Ace hardware going out of business (DAMMIT...LOVED that store - it was one that carried EVERYTHING!).

 

i fixed my broken 240 blitz lightforce cover

 

Today I get to drive the X again! The wife got to drive it while I worked on her Jeep for a few days. But that's a whole nother story
