Phil's '88 Big Blue Build Thread

[blazinzuk]

I have taken a ramcharger through Pritchett. He was on 38s on 20" rims yo.

Not one dent or scratch on his wheels. Took some careful spotting but even Pritchett is doable without body damage

Got the pressure washer installed today.

Just so you know, I'm taking a K10 out this year, not wanting to ding it up either.

Thanks, I think it came out pretty good. I'm starting to think I need some other non blue and white accents though. lol. I haven't wired the winch up yet, my battery has those stupid screw in side connectors, I need to figure out how to redo that so I can add the cables.

In less then a year.
Very nice.

 

[Phil513]

Thank you! Wow. It really has come a long way. During that time I also got the A/C working. lol.

They make studs that screw into those battery terminals. Your local auto parts store should have them.

Cool, I was wondering if they made something like that.

 

[Bent77]

I like the blue and white, dont screw it up!

Looking for something like this?

These should replace your battery bolts, so you can keep your existing battery cables, too.

I like these little guys. Use them on everything.

They also make a double, which would be better for a winch.

I use those shorter ones on a couple of my rigs. I like them a bunch, and help to avoid stripping out the soft lead threads in the side posts.

I like them better than what I had recommended, I just thought @Phil513 was wanting to use posts. Either way, options are out there! You don't hafta carry around a dead pressure washer anymore!

Those are the ones I was talking about and currently run on my truck.

Hey guys, no, I'm not sold on posts. Just trying to figure out this situation, which a couple of those look like they will fix.

I have on those side post batteries used a short piece of unplated all thread to make a post like above. Usually with a nut and lock washer to secure the post, adding the ends against them.
Have not yet had an issue
