to be honest, when i go back through the threads these last few months i have been questioning why i was posting them up. at first it was fun, icing on the cake so to speak but when i sent people to the thread to check out my quality i had to also include a warning.
if i have to warn then why were they there.
Woody just pushed me off the fence in the direction i was already leaning towards.
i guess i will have to concentrate the pics to the cheerleader thread instead.

i needed to pull the capacitor so i decided to add a quick connect since it is a PITA to try and hook the on wire into the hole.
this way we have a solid connection inside the capacitor and easy removal for down the road.
i tried the spiral wrap for the big bundle of wires across the firewall ... i thought it looked unacceptable so split loom it was.

my original plan was to have the large wires run through the C pillar to the flip out access for the inverter but i didn't like the idea of large 4 gauge wires being open and shut constantly with the possibility of wear and a short.
so
quick connects is the solution i came up with.
quick connects on the C pillar, both positive in the red, both grounds in the gray with warning lables attached.
some industrial grade velcro holds the ends to the inverter when not in use. no rattling, no screws.

next up is the airbag control system. once again i changed my plans on how i was going to mount the main system.
instead of on the door which would allow for rubbing and a possible leak i decided to mount it fixed to the fender.
the door in the outer panel will still allow for inspection with out removing the entire panel.
i had to make up a mounting bracket that would be strong enough to support that heavy little bugger.
i also had to rearrange the main couplings so all the lines would come in from the rear in a smooth flow.
i am liking how it is coming together.
that is it for this week.

I have to say I enjoy the Cruiser porn as much as any hotties, some pretty innovative and amazing stuff going into this and your troopy build. I know I've taken more than one idea I'd never have thought of back to my own tinkering, I'm just glad you take us along for the ride 
. I go to like three sections around here anymore, and your builds along with a couple others always have me checking this one for new post.

This thread reminds me when I was young and kept a Playboy Magazine under my bed. If I had been caught by my parents I would have tried to convince them that I only read it for the articles and interesting information. We all would have known it was a lie. 
Keep up the good work Wayne.....

Ya, I like pictures of the ladies, but your threads dont need them. Post more pics of the stuff you put in it or of someone building, we love that sh!t too.
Actually my brother teases me that I probably have truck mags hidden under the matress instead of porn like everyone else.
Edit: there's a product that comes in a spray can that is nice for keeping terminals from getting corosion on them. Its basically spray on wax in a can and Ive sprayed it on battery terminals and stuff. If you have any exposed terminals near the batteries and you have issues with that white lead sulphur stuff on it, its good for that. I think its called "lp7" or something and comes in a red can. Weve used it on copper ground cable on cable tray and brass ground posts that were attached to steel piles in the patch, its clear and waxy but prevents oxidization. Ill have to see if I still have any left, Ive heard of some folks using it in their door panels to prevent rust in the drain channels. You may have heard of it already though.

Looking at both is quite enjoyable......
excellent build Sir!
even better without those "girlie pics",,, so I can show this build thread to everyone including my wife..
thank you so much for documenting and posting all this great tech.

Is this air bag system factory or an after market installation?

airbagit from the states.
as a kit i can't recommend it.
but for the money ... worth it.
a lot of mods to make it work.
anyway, it is finally completed.
access panel cut and rubber gromet ready
wiring is run and secured
mounts are made
everything is labeled or color coded.
hoses are run and secured and then checked again

Coming along nicely Wayne.
May I know what is that item on the ashtray?

that is the control panel for the airbag system.
you can preset controls for 1 button operation. in this case it would be used for when the snow blower is attached and removed.
you can individually control each bag
it monitors how often the compressor runs and for how long
if the compressor runs for more than 15 min then a warning message appears
tells you what pressure each bag is sitting at as well as the system
at least that is what it is SUPPOSED to do.

i couldn't decide what to do with the special wrench for the air pressure sensor removal so paint it floresent orange, put velcro on the back and stick where it can't be lost or missed.
next up was cleaning out the back and retapping the holes in prep for sound deadening the floor.
