The forum is losing its character. Way too much heavy-handed modding going on, imo. I've had comments deleted from threads, I've seen threads black-holed. Maybe a user run forum would be a good idea.

Trust me I miss him too and so do a lot of others!!! Without going into to much detail a few of us pleaded to get him back on here but to no avail.
I agree - he contributed a lot. I can see if he did nothing but troll around here, but he put effort to help and share with us.

Seems that once you sinned, you are toast. No wrist slap and a "do not do that again" second chance.

When did this happen? Anyone know why he was banned? I don't think I saw anything controversial from him.

I cannot say for sure but I recall he entered the political inappropriate range of responses, but I may be entirely off base. Based on other forum members that are non value added for the most part, I have to support the moderators and the Administrator as they are not airing the dirty laundry behind the scenes. I was an Administrator for Clock/Watch forums....Behind the scenes it was so crazy, I lasted about 10 years before I realized this was affecting my sleep and my health...Still love Clocks and still am in business of repairing them, but enough is enough.

Looks great! How many fasteners are used to attach each of those tracks to the diamond back and what size are they?
How’d the install for those bars go? How much weight will they hold. I’m looking to do the exact same setup for my rig. Looks great!

Sadly, Sid was...escorted off the premises and isn't on here any longer. Take a look around the forum and I'm sure one of the other members can help you out.

Can you share more info on how you wired up the Trigger? A relay for vehicle power would be good for this I think, but I'm curious what you did about this.

Scored a Trigger 3001 6 outlet wifi controlled auxiliary power unit one Ebay for $100+ off retail:like:
Only using 2 of the 6 for now...

Also can be controlled via Iphone app through bluetooth to strobe and/or dim:clap:
What did you do to secure the Trigger box to the top of the battery?

He had mentioned multiple times that he didn't use anything. It just sits there and "never moved."

Yes, nothing or what I did is strap it with a long tie wrap around middle front to back so the chuckle head mechanics can't move or mess with it. If they need to, they can cut the tie.
