Aight, battery it is probably. I really want to get my shit set up this weekend so you people better expect phone calls from me and ready to offer assistance! haha

Mike, not trying to rush a man, but hows the switch panel coming along? Cant wait to load that stuff up. How did you connect the wires to the rear of the switches (just drimmel a hole in that pocket and run wires through)???

 

Those aren't mud tires. They are maximum traction radials

 

I have to cut the center which i will have time to do tomorrow. Then i'll send it out. I drilled 2 1/2" holes in the center console which i then found was not enough, so i drilled 2 more and 1 1" hole for my grounds. When it's not so damn hot, I'm going make all the holes 1". So my advice to you is to: 1) give zero fucks, and 2) drill 3 or 4 1" holes. It will make it way easier to get wires through and give you more room for adding more wires later.

 

Public service announcement: Weston is looking to buy a ford!!!!

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

I've owned one before, its a mistake.

 

I agree it's total foolishness but it's hilarous!

 

Boo this man!!!!!!!!!

 

Just fyi, from 8 tom morning till about 4 i won't be available. Got important shit to do. Supra time!!! We rolled the fenders earlier. I cut the end off a baseball bat and used that. Stick the bat in the front of the fender, slowly drive backwards and and the bat rolls itself around the fender. Pretty ingenious. Haha but we got most of the body back on except the rear bumper. So hopefully come tom I'll have some drift pics and videos

 

Go back over it with a towel wrapped tightly around the bat. Will smooth the insides even more. That's how all my mustangs have been done

 

that means im going to need your phone number haha

 

Aight. We are gonna "finish" it at some later date. We just needed it to clear for tom. Meanwhile at Road house ...... I got a 32 oz steak. Haha

 

About the best I can do for tonight. More tomorrow

 

looks good man

 

Work may have me near Johnson City this fall. Any good places to wheel around there?

 

OK, in the pic, this is how I had my lights wired. Now, I just checked continuity between the battery and all blue sea fuse panel outlets---> good continuity (and all the ports were showing the proper 12V so the panel works)
I just checked continuity between EVERY wire pictured below and it all checked out. This leads me to assume that once I had everything hooked up, one of my GROUNDS was not solid (I did not have the multimeter to test this when it was all set up last week in the truck, however I tested a few grounds under the hood tonight to expand the areas I will be able to ground the compressor too).
Am I correct in assuming I had a bad ground if every wire depicted here checked out continuity-wise??

 

I'd make all the connections, then see that I had voltage to switch in off position, then voltage to relay in on position, ground to relay , cycle switch to verify relay is cycling, check blue sea power to relay, you should also have continuity on power through lights to ground with switch off, with a resistance reading for the lights.

 

Looks right but what is the blue sea as well as the lights and where's your switch ground?

 

You do have a ground for the switch right?

 

Only if it has a light, otherwise the positive just gets interrupted by the switch.
