We can tune the cb in Moab if need be.

 

Might have to. I have a meter that I'm going to bring with me.

 

Okay so the truck is finally electrically sound again and has power. So the breakdown as of today....

Wire and mount 3 HID's on bumper
Mount bumper
Wire 4X4 lighted switch
Wire all relays
Clean up wiring
Top off all fluids
Bleed brakes
Clean and Detail
Mount spare tire carrier
Mount wheels/tires
Trim all fenders
Plate body mounts
Tune CB
Aim all lights

Pretty small from what it was????

 

Making headway for sure. Don't know about clean and detail before hitting the dust so I personally would move that to the bottom as "optional".

Yeah I meant to put that last. For the guys that were planning on coming by tomorrow, dont worry about it. Have some family stuff to do.

 

If you still need help I'll be in town. I'll be at Upull looking for a few things

 

Just blue tape on it to protect the lens while building.

 

So here is where we stand right now.........


Electrical;
-Wire/mount inverter (Probably after Moab wiring is in place)
-Wire/mount dual electric fans (Probably after Moab wiring is in place)

Everything Else;
-Trim and remount all fenders (might be the night before we leave)
-Plate front body mounts (might not happen)
-Tune CB antenna (might be in Moab)
-Packing and loading the truck

Regular Maintenance;
-Oil change (gonna be happening on Sunday)
-Check coolant (gonna be happening on Sunday)
-Top off transmission fluid (gonna be happening on Sunday)
-Top off diff fluid (gonna be happening on Sunday)

Might be some more stuff but I think that is it before I can start packing.

 

List is looking good man! Sorry for stupid question but other than taking it to the dealer to do it for me, how exactly do you top off your tranny fluid? I'd assume with a pump, just don't know if I can trust myself to do it

 

Hello from a CO..Very impressive mods you've done recently. You are a wiring mad man. The red switches look real nice. I'm curious when you are running wires for that many new switches do you use an existing hole in the firewall or make a new one?

 

Yes. A little fluid pump and done. Did this when swapping my valve body.

 

Thanks. And not a stupid question. Yes just a pump head and some tubing directly on the bottle.

I put in a new one a long time ago but it didn't work out too well. This time I put everything through the factory firewall boot and re taped it.

 

As it currently sits....

Front Air disconnect....

Looks funny with the tiny wheels, at the alignment shop........Thanks @Lobster13

 

Just curious why do you take it to the alignment shop with tiny wheels?

 

The Toyo M/T's that I have have the rimsaver bead with that extra portion of rubber around the bead of the rim and the mechanics can't get their tools on it without a huge hassle so I just swap them out.

 

Gotcha! That makes sense.

 

Just finished going through the entire thread. Amazing build sir.
