Nothing like 2 weeks until a long trip to kick you in the butt. My list is much longer than time I've got to get things done, so low priorities like rear ARB install, rear discs, etc are falling off the list fast.
After getting the truck back and installing the front bar/winch with a host of other little things, I am getting onto new stuff.
Got some work done on the interior this weekend and started designing a new fan shroud. The truck is back in Portland to do more troubleshooting on an RPM based loud rattle, so I got the fan/radiator layout measured and hope to get that built before I have the truck back.
My gf was sweet and took part of a day to install RAAMmat on the floor while I measured and thunk through the fan shroud. I found a lettering kit in my toolbox so she stamped her name into the foil. I think that is called branding. She enjoyed the detail work, and I was very glad for her help!
Tuffy setup.. found a good place for the CB. I bought a 12V mixer and cables online to mix the CB/2m/Ipod together through the stereo. Hope I have time to install it and it works out. Console stereo slot will eventually get a mobile 2m radio.
other side, this is actually a benefit of doing a 6" wide stereo console over the 8".. more room for crap! I found a sweet dual USB/dual 12v socket charger on Amazon.. most of them only have 1 USB port
room under Tuffy with the OEM rear heater gone. Might be enough room to mount one of the amps.
middle fingers point to the two rear heater mount holes. I need to modify the Tuffy bracket and extend to the holes to get it solidly mounted
rough idea of the dash layout. I have the glow switch to install into the transfer/H4 plug(currently hanging red thing). Can never have enough 12V sockets.
