New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Did someone take Kyle's phone away? Been vewwy quiet lately.

 

Hey I'm new here to this site but been around forever just been out of wheeling for 5 years. I have a new rig and am up for getting out. I'd be able to get out Sunday to go poke around. Although I do believe as other have stated that the gate is locked.

went out to test the jeep out... thought i was going to get stuck out there wouldnt drive found out the t case linkage came loose good thing i had tools.

 

Some nice front end flex.

What's the critter?

 

she flexs decent need some short arms though... not sure on the critter, saw a couple in a little water hole...

 

So, yeah, I need to get these switches done up and the amp installed and be done with working on the truck for awhile. Yeah...

 

Think I found out the problem with my locker...

 

that is ooogley!

Hope you can get it fixed.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it was melted from welding on the sliders... Because two days after I got them welded was the first time I had used my locker after getting them welded and that was when it wouldn't disengage.

I guess I'm basically just going to cut each one individually and replace that section of wiring. Not hard but a very long process! But if it fixes my issues then awesome! I'm just glad it didn't cause a fire...

 

Traded the Skewps and the Whine for Stance and Spool

 

You and Greg should hang out. He's got a little TT.

 

Nice Audi you got there Jim.

 

Plugged in the the rear locker switch with the correct lighting scheme:



And found the Carling 2 slot switch panel fits the clock hole good enough.



Hopefully, Scott can help me get the light switches wired up soon.

May see about putting in a 3 slot where the locker switches are. Would require ordering a new dash insert since I enlarged the hole where the clutch cancel switch used to be.

 

Good work, looks nice and clean!

I trimmed the stock skid and installed BAMF LCA skids that I purchased from another member recently. I need to get some decent IFS and underbelly skids soon.

 

It needs work. I have some switch panels for the left hand side that will tidy things up nicely. Just need to pull the damn trim piece and work on it with a dremel.

Yes. Yes, you do.

 

Well, good progress thus far at least!

Skids will be soon, trying to pace myself a little bit with a wedding coming up in 2 months. Had to spend extra cash on the steps as the first piece of the build in order to do the rest; my fiance is 5' tall on a good day and she wanted steps if a lift was installed so that was the compromise. Hoping to replace them with sliders and maybe she won't notice

 

Made some templates:



Now just have to get the gumption to take things back apart and do some cutting.

 

Taking a dremel to any interior plastic always takes some guts, but your templates should make for a fairly easy project.

 

Going to see if the depth collar can be rigged up where I can do it on the dash instead of taking it all apart.

I wish I had a mini light saber.
