    Finally starting on the Baja fogs. I've had some pretty serious family stuff to attend to, and work has been a shit show for weeks.

    Anyway, put the fog plug-and-play brackets on, and doing a little extra sealing on the wiring where they exit the Baja harness and into the weatherproof connectors.




    [​IMG]

    To square up the brackets with the lense faces, I used some aluminum stock of various thicknesses.





    I did not like the simple cut with frayed cord exposed to wick up moisture, which could potentially migrate right up into the lamp housing over time, or if severely submerged for some time or repeatedly.



    Liquid electrical "tape" needs to cure 24 hours, may put another thin coat on.

    I am going to call this truck The Enema, because every time you post some insignificant detail done like a significant one, it always makes me think "clean" and "anal," and it leaves my pants requiring a small tuft of toilet paper to clean up.

    Hope things get better offline, don't forget the gratification one receives by buying another person a full PrinSu setup. :D

    Details are only insignificant until everyone dies because they are overlooked. I watched a $1m custom aircraft nearly crash on takeoff once. Cause: missing cotter pin.

    Just sayin.

    On the naming thing, maybe Cameron would be appropriate.
    Cameron was so uptight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, he'd shit out a diamond.

    1. Carhartts in
    2. Baja Squadron fogs in. Need to adjust them down a few degrees.
    3. First 5-wheel rotation with Coopers
    4. Oil change
    5. Finished the full size spare mod (bottle jack to finish pushing the two forward wheel prongs completely into the recesses). Tire now too close to the rear diff, maybe 1/2 inch max. Likely will require hoist relocate. I'll see after lift and articulation test.

    I need to get my lift together so bad.
