NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Being a total nerd, I love this answer.

 

There’s a very thin line of you look closely

 

This popped up 5 minutes after I got my annual bonus letter. Is it a sign?

Maybe a sign a F-350 is in your future too.

 

sadly, its one or the other

 

I noticed the tow rig is an old Humvee in the pics. Pretty cool setup.... bet the neighborhoods are thrilled.

 

I dont think a humvee can actually tow one of those. It says it weighs 18K

 

It is florida so at least there are no hills

 

Everyone but the mechanics

 

Ok anyone have any idea wtf this noise is? It’s making a rotational squeal and then some sort of knocking noise when I actually brake and come to a stop. Coming from my right rear drum. I took the drum cover off and cleaned everything. Nothing look broken and we adjusted the star adjuster. The noise stopped for a while but came back after a week. I feel like it has to do with my ebrake because my left rear doesn’t make that noise and the right rear has froze up before when it’s really cold. Drum brakes are so stupid.

 

Finally bought switches, now I’m waiting for the wiring to show up

 

I would love to have my diff lock on a push and not a rocker. It hasn’t been there 3 months and I’m on my second switch because my dog keeps stepping on it when she’s hanging out in the truck.

 

@Shadowhunter I’ve got these switches for my lockers, the text lights up with your dash lights and the graphic lights up when the switch is pressed, pretty slick

Ya i have mine in the same panel as the cup holders, I’ve activated my front locker and air compressor more by dropping something on the switch or bumping it than actually turning it on on purpose

 

It’s what i just picked up, Mule has then for a few $$ cheaper

 

Hmm... that might be worth ordering and taking a look at. Where would I tap into to make the Diff lock light come on in a Sport. I have the low range off-road wiring harness which uses a DP/DT switch. When I get a chance I’ll dig into it. I’m assuming with your front elocker you taped in somewhere for that front locker to switch the light on but I might not have the wiring.

 

After my axle swap I rewired the Harrop locker to the factory RR diff lock switch and ditched the ugly Harrop rocker switch. I have the diagram of the factory switchback somewhere if you want it

 

Yellow blue wire in the cluster harness needs ground

 

@Shadowhunter you could tap into any of your other backlit switches, for my front locker switch I just tapped into the illumination wire from the factory rear locker switch

 

Yeah this works fine, I tapped into the fog light switch since I was putting a new switch next door. Worked fine. I used a test light to verify which was hot with the marker lights on.
