P1000m5 Bad_Bowtie's Boring Budget Build

[Bad_bowtie]

Got the A Arm guards from Josh mounted up finally. Also moved my mirror over to make room for my new ram mount today. Previously had the X Grip mounted on the dash but ran out of room after adding stereo/switches/gauges/winch plug ect. I think the Ram Tab-tite will be more secure than the x grip was anyways.

Had some boxes waiting on me when I got home from work. Definatly an improvement over the ugly steel wheels.

My wife just ordered me the deluxe red panels as one of my Christmas presents. I originally regretted not buying the deluxe but I'll have the panels, lighting , and wheels of my choosing for less for less than what I saved on buying base model.

Now if I can just get you down here to RRB or Windrock for a ride so I can get those tires. The wife suddenly isnt too keen on an 11 hour round trip to buy tires lol.

How much faster is it now since we all know that the RED ones are faster!

Finally getting some protection. Went from this.

To the S&S fabrication aluminum skids

They may have been previously beat and scratched by @JTW but they beat the s*** out of the factory plastic.

Now I've got to figure out where to put these graphics and the 5' whip light my wife also got me for Christmas.

Also picked up some spacers for when I finally get my new tires and wheels mounted up from superatv.

 

[Bad_bowtie]

I wasn't planning on doing whips anytime soon, but the wife wanted them, so I hope that makes them less gay? What say you @drfubar ?

Here is the cupholders I used, I dont recall them being hooked to anything but they can be aggravating to get loose. Give it a good yank, wont hurt anything.

It's about to slow way down, I've got a ton of stuff I want to do, but I'm running out of money way before I'm running out of ideas.

Bad BT - just got these cup holders in the mail and did the Dremel opening suggested. Did you drill a hole in the plastic below to accommodate the black drain hole nut at the bottom of the stainless cup or just leave?

No, just opened up the hole and set them down in there.
