so i got the mounts made and tacked to the frame

then i extended the radius arms

and yes i need to attack my frame with the grider and smooth out all the old welds. dam its flexy now that i did the extended radius arms and heims.
so i'll leave you with a couple teasers of when i tap the breaks what lights up

:fawkdancesmiley:

that depends you don't persay have to but it is a good idea, if ever your lights or wiring to your lights short out or what have it, instead of toasting your lights or switch it will kick the relay off, i also like to run inline fuses with my relays.

there will be a grip of yotas smashin the pavement as soon as the snow falls:stirpot:

so i went to tahuya this weekend and got some decent flex

it was fun, it was alot different with the heims up front

i have everything running to its own fuse so lights, ign, and so on are all on there own fuse.
i was just checking to see if there was some special reason, so as long as i run them fused i should be good ?

85b2man · Feb 25, 2009

all new wiring, moved battery and start solenoid under dash

started making a center console, still playing around with gauge and switch layout so its not the final panel, and i still need to make a mount for the battery but thats were it will be going

ditched the front bumper gonna cut out the core support, dove the front, and move my winch as close to the radiator

got the fuel cell support built

cleaned up the frame rail and again all new wiring:awesomework:

picked up an ARB yesterday:awesomework: now i just need to wait till pay day before i can get anymore parts:rb:.

what do you guys think about having the winch under the radiator so i can suck everything back even further ?
