Cool truck being built correctly with no short cuts and BS excuses.

Nice work Ian.

Safe travels John.

Head unit installed, brought the Cruiser out of the Stone Age and into the new millennium.

LEDs tested, be done with these tonight.

Oh ya, locker is pretty much wired too.

Cheers

Florida tag and title now in hand. Next stop Boise, Idaho.

 

[SNLC]

Crunch time tomorrow.

We are down to wiring the LEDs, spooling up the winch rope and installing fairlead. That and a whole bunch of testing to do on and off-road and lastly put a torque wrench on it all again.

The LEDs will take a bit of work, wiring them to the stock fog light switch and they have a “backup” light which is just a running light. Wiring that to the factory running lights.

Unfortunately I don’t think we are going to have time for fridge and compressor but everything else should be done, tested and ready to rock.

Does the truck have a power box in the engine bay? The power constant should be good for 10A and the ACC should be good for 7.5A. If you run the wiring for the compressor I can can add waterproof plugs to get the compressor running at windrock Friday night. I’ve got a handful of hella 24v relays as well.

Just a thought. I know you’re busting ass on this. Truck is looking phenomenal!

I am aware man and thanks. Fridge and air compressor need to be mounted securely. Compressor draws 50a under load. That is way more than I feel comfortable running from the power box.

I have another client coming Monday to pick up a truck, I got to work all weekend to get that ready.

There is no more time.

For sure just offering up anything I could do to help.

@SNLC and @divemedic you guys are awesome. The truck will be fine as is and we can address those other issues when we get it back to Florida. It’s not like I don’t have a ton of stuff already with Ian that will need to be shipped back.

Sitting in airport lounge waiting on connecting flight to Minneapolis. Decided it was time to start thinking about my route. Thinking about moving southeast tomorrow and staying somewhere in Utah. Maybe hit Grand Junction on Sunday and Colorado Springs on Monday. After that the land gets flat and can just tick off some highway miles after locating @peterb along the way.

 

[FJ73Texas]

Quite a bit done in a such short time on this truck.

 

[SNLC]

Last item, spool up new winch rope.

Wiring came out pretty good.

Dash back together.

Running lights.

Laser beams, pew pew!

Cheers

The "daytime running lights" are a cool feature of the Aurora's.

 

[jomelo]

Landed in Minneapolis. One more flight to Boise. Should be on the ground around 11pm Pacific time.

 

[SNLC]

In my opinion no build is complete without a good test run.

The Cruiser is ready to rock and roll!

Cheers
