Followed the trail of my factory fog light wires around my engine bay for 20 minutes figuring out what goes where. Does anybody know possibly where the fuse for the fog lights are? Mine may be burnt out. (Fog lights haven't worked for years)

IIRC the "factory" fog lights are actually dealer installed (they were Bosch units on my '93 SR) Fuse on mine was under the dash in-line sorta near the switch. I removed them and now use the switch for the IPFs on my ARB. Added all new wiring, a relay / fuse bank in the engine compartment near the battery and a ATC fuse panel on the back-side of the glove box for some additional power taps.

did you check bulbs? check if you get voltage there

Couple days ago i began working on my trail arm bushings, what a surprise :)

Despite all the advises i went with my gut. I took off two bolts in the back and 1 nut up front, that's all that was needed to remove trail arm (besides couple supporting 12mm bolts)

And here begins the fun: old bushing vs new, old metal plates vs newer from donor, old trailing arm vs. donor and old bushing

Looks pretty bad in the pic, must be the angle/iight?:bike_rider:

@BOPOH again, what systems were you getting that you needed to replace trailing arm bushings?

Sorry didn't see that you edited your post.

Trail arms were indeed bad, loud noises when going over bumps as well as jerking movements of suspension. Everything rusted thru pretty bad on the old trail arms, donor parts were in much better condition.

Finished the water pump, and passenger side camshaft seal, driver side had a lip that I did not notice and pushed in too far on one side, long story short I had to pull it out and now have to wait until tomorrow to buy another seal from mitsubishi and finish the whole timing belt, water pump and seals... dang it! I was at the point where everything was going smoothly too.
