So this is a thing in the Grand Canyon and rafting overnighter community, but I figured Expo would enjoy this as well. With a little bit of care these things last for years and years. Perfect small flame to keep warm on a chilly evening without needing firewood, and complies with fire bans.

Put together a video for this rig. You'll to see more of what I have been up to and my thoughts after 2.5 years.

Well that's epic!

Here's the link. I can't really make it any easier than this. The mirror swap really isn't that bad with the exception of the wire loom in the arm issues. From there all the hard work figuring out the connections and pins is here for you.

Yup. The pic is working. Pop the glass off and the motors will be right in front of you. 3 little screws hold the unit in place. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The last steps were mounting the switch, cutting space out behind it so the wires and connector had clearance, and then crimping everything together. I made the template too tight intentionally, then slowly widened out until the switch fit snugly. This was definitely the way to go. At this...

So after that ordeal yesterday today I tackled the wiring. Here's a quick look. I tapped the signals off the tail loom under the driver door kick plate. Pulling the tail lights off showed me that the driver side turn signal wire is green with an orange stripe, and the passenger is orange with a...

Well that was a mirror swap from hell! Lesson learned, go get an old school whack it with a hammer type impact if you're doing this swap with knock-offs. The cheap Phillips screws they used were impossible to remove. I had to use a screw extractor on every single one! Also add C-clip pliers to...

I'm rocking a sweet little migraine, but I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Here's what I figured out: Stealing from (here) but making the pin locations actually accurate and descriptive. I lost an hour because the pins were located backwards in the first post and I forgot to...

Alrighty so: Here's everything you should need for the mirror swap project. It's a snowy, rainy mess this weekend so I'll be muddling my way through this project. I'll post updates as I go along. For now I am going to be doing some research to figure out what goes where, building the wiring...

Interested in a passenger base. Can you message me price+shipping to 13035?

And more parts! Working on the van last year during Thanksgiving was the perfevt distraction so I decided to bite off another big project. Fully functioning F-series signal mirrors with heat and electronic adjustment. I've always wanted a set of these in a van, and the base swap really isn't...

Wwwwwwhhhhaaaaattttt!? That's wild! Seems like forgetting about those and trying to whip the door open would cause some serious body damage. Parts are starting to appear on my porch for the house battery system. Unfortunately I only just realized that I do not have the bolt holes in the frame...

Have you looked at body swaps/ kit swaps for those old rusty girls? It is something I would be inclined to look into. Some of these old Quigleys can be had for little more than scrap value. Restoring the kit and tossing it under a 2wd sportsmobile or ambo sounds like it would be worth the...

It's been a long time since an update: That's right, Q got body work and Raptor-Lined Grey. She looks pretty sharp, and thankfully grabs much less attention then before. While things were apart I also had an exhaust manifold replaced, fixed a busted driver's side door, and had new hinge pins...
