Anyone here familiar with using the iBooster?? I'm having trouble getting mine to work right. Pedal is way too soft.

It's been stalled for quite a while, the clutch was out of whack. I have a new hydraulic clutch and everything ready, I just need to find the motivation - and help - to put it all back together.

@MOTOV8R - thanks. that's what I thought. I'll just leave the red and black unused. @charliemeyer007 - I'll get 1/4" coupler today and see if I can get it to work.

I'm trying to wire up my old dual ARB into my latest project and I can't figure out the wiring from the original manual as it's been hacked at too many times. I'm not using their switches. I already have the solenoids wired to toggle switches and I'm not giong to use the lockout/interlock. There...

I think it will be easier to try to find a gear reduction to go between the motor and the winch than try to package the planetary out of Warn into something I can use.

So, electric motor isn't going. No idea what to try next as the consensus was that hydraulic won't work either - speed is wrong and power steering pump doesn't flow enough. I guess I have to start researching that in more detail.

Okay - it actually turns. We’ll find out what it can do in a week or 2

Ya, not remotely possible in winter to cross Colorado as I'm not aware of any route close to the the continental divide that's less that 10,000'. And, Wyoming and Montana, if they are possible, could be miserable depending on weather, not just snow, but -20 and blowing 50 mph.

I guess I’m going to find out

I’ve also started working on the roll cage and sliders. Since the the sliders are the support structure for the cage, I started there massively reinforcing the step supports with steel and running DOM - as slider that hopefully will tied nicely into stock step. Plates in the cab floor to carry...

This will be kind of a mish-mash post. I’ve been. Working through finishing the gas tank fuller neck and starting on the winch. The filler neck was a massive PITA. I spent a day trying to get the filler neck hooked up getting around the frame rail, including raising the bed 1” - and failed...

Well, come on up and say hi. I'm going to try to make the xmas party.

Okay, gas tank is in and final. That took a lot of iterations to get it high enough for the filler neck to clear the frame rail and low enough to clear the bed. And now I have this lip where the wheel well is going to attach. They are some of the worst rust on the truck and I'm trying to...

Also, the rebuilt winch arrived Tuesday - been close to a year waiting for it. Needs some paint and, once again, the front cross member is in the way. And, there needs to be space for the drive shaft and warn replacement motor. So, the needs to be an entirely new front cross member that...

With the drive train mostly functional, it was time to get the bed on. It took a bit of work, to get it into the shop and the wheel wells removed to accommodate the rear hoops, but I was finally to set it down and ... my math to figure out the gas tank height was all wrong. So, I had to...
