Its acceptable to get this type of service here...and when u look at its cost of around 40US $ including the ac gas and oil etc...most people would just do the ac system with this guy and then go to another for wiring

hi there....been a while. Father had a minor stroke and we were busy with travel to Cairo and intensive care etc, as we have very poor medical care here in Sudan (even in high end hospitals).
Will continue within this week hopefully.....and thanx for asking

closing up my wiring using bicycle inner tubes.....wrapped the wires in the AWESOME electrical tape @scottryana and @Boltripper sent....then wrapped them up with the inner tubes (to protect them from rubbing against any metal or sharp edges.... dont have zip ties, so just using bailing wire or tape.
did some work on the dashboard....i previously sanded it down ..applied some industrial adhesive and put on a layer of spongy type material (to remove the majority of bumps left over and then covered that with strong vinyl with a leathery type of imprint....not the most professional finish...but hey...i want to drive this baby.
images later tonight
just wanted to add that the tubing thing was for wires inside the dash only

image for the dash before.
see the white sheet thing.??...thats what i used to cover the dash and all its bumps and holes.
how my hood looks now.....
still need to wrap my ac pipes in some sort of insulator to protect them from all the vibrations and rubbing against the body.

today i hope to finish doing the tough parts of the interior...under dash....below floor insulator..etc....will just wrap the door wiring all the way to the grommets and a little extra...will also mount my dome lights (but not the door courtesy ones)..
unfortunately my sunroof still leaks...so interior will have to be delayed till i find those small plastic things or an alternative solution...as rain season is VERY close...i will just apply a small amount of silicon to seal it up for now.
Then i will start doing the door panels....the panel part at least and then apply that plastic 'skin' that prevents water and dust coming into the cabin.

Glad to hear your family is Ok! these trucks are fun but family first 
Wow. I just spent about an hour reading through this entire thread. I can't say I've read a full 26-page thread before, but I'm glad I did - you are one dedicated guy! What you've accomplished with what you have to work with in such a short amount of time is truly impressive. My hat is off to you, sir.
If you need any misc. supplies from the US please make a list and PM me. I've got lots of zip ties! And I may actually have an unused Blue Sea fuse panel in the garage. I'm more than happy to send stuff over. Might even talk to my friend who owns a Landcruiser shop here and see if we can't get you a motivational project item of some sort too.
Keep on it!

That innertube should work well for those AC lines. I'm really impressed with how clean and uncluttered everything looks under your hood.

@half k cruiser. .. I too am loving how clean my hood looks now....the ac lines I found a bunch of sponge tubes that they use to insulate office ac piping...will wrap and either tape or bail wire them around my lines
That truck is lucky to have you.
