What are, things that you always look for at 4am the night before leaving on an offroad trip?

[robertf03]

you are correct sir

[davido]

That's awesome Fredo.

Yes, we're close. Bryan Hose & Gasket tomorrow. Need buy and run fuel line. Clutch is awaiting a hose, bracket is done, slave mounted. Steering shaft reconnected, heim bracket done. Steering fluid cooler and filter installed. Fuel pump and filter mounts are done. Motor mounts are completed, but need installing. Wiring harness is completed and nearly loomed. I actually loomed a few other wires. Computer bracket is done (Holla Seth).

Things that won't get done this trip:

- Warn 8274 still has broken mount (under part #77)
http://warn.com/truck/ReplacementPar...srrpl85-86.pdf
- air compressor won't get connected with oiler and filter.

Other old stuff:

- rock lights
- seat covers. I still haven't decided what to do there.
- floor. why bother at this point right?
- rotate tires. Probably not going to get done unless the shop air starts working.
- e-brake. needs wire and handle.
- Klune shifter. needs mount.
- drop tank between frame.
- radio
- cb
- accessory plugs
- cutting brakes (useless with welded rear)

Probably a few other odds and ends that won't get done because they don't keep me from driving it.

[Seth]

The klune shifter mount might be one thing that would be relatively easy to do and mark off the list just for grins. I'll call ya'll tonight and maybe stop by. perhaps w/some fresh mill dogs.

[Graystroke]

I thought you were doing the mudflap for floor? that would take 10 min to do w/ some self tapping sheetmetal screws. get seth to find you an old flap at work.

[davido]

I might. It's not on the short list for the trip. I didn't see anything to use when I was looking around. Seth doesn't need to get fired over a mudflap.

[Doug Krebs]

about your cutting brakes...

I've read on the internet that people have better success with locking up both rear tires and doing a front dig. I've never actually seen a comparison in person so who knows...

[Graystroke]

I was refering to one that didn't pass DOT...they have to be something like no more than 12" from the ground...as they wear out where they are mounted usually people keep moving them up to get fresh rubber...after a couple of times they get too short.

Yes, this is true, works just as good

[davido]

Gotcha. The motor mounts are welded in. A little sloppy, but I don't think it's going anywhere. We turned the motor over. It's getting spark. Fuel line fittings will be done tomorrow. Fuel plumbing will be done tomorrow. Flem got as far on it as we could tonight. A few more odds and ends to pick up tomorrow. Still waiting on the exhaust manifolds and the clutch hose. A little nervous about that, but I guess I can steal them off of the bus on Wednesday night if I need to.

Robert, what's that switch company that you were talking about?

If you want a thin piece of metal to go behind it with labels like that link above I've got an idea that popped into my head when thinking of how to label the fuse panel.

copper, anodizing dye, and some of that circuit etch solution, and an old school laser printer. It would look like a cross between a brewery, a world war 2 jeep shifting plaque, and one of karl's dads hit or miss engines.

[KrazyKarl02]

My dad does in fact do that.
