Mark - Started laying the rear harness this AM...So far very straight forward plug and play!!!

What is the recommended routing for the fog light harness to the pull switch?

Thanks!!

Over the river and through the woods....

Oh you meant for the Cruiser! I would simply follow the main harness from the fuse panel to the switch. That way it is above everything and out of the way of column and moving pedals.

Hmm , I think that's the one I'm running , I'll have to look this weekend when it warms up - mine is mounted up under the dash along with all the auxilary wiring/fuse block . I just ran a completely separate harness for the 7-wire trailer plug (utility trailer has brakes) to the rear of the truck , installed a 4/7 combo plug behind the driver's bumperette to protect it . I've had an odd issue lately that the brake lights (led) on the trailer are lighting dim any time the truck is hooked to that trailer - suspect it's a bleed over issue in the converter since my pickup doesn't do it , only the Cruiser ...

I have not checked this converter with LED trailer lights. Next time I build one I will try it with LED bulbs to see how it acts.

Mole' vice molle'....South western as opposed to compatible pouches and accessories.. One is fer tote'n the others fer' smother'en or something to that effect.
 
It goes without saying, a double entendre only confuses me as to which direction I should lean..After-all, I am a product of WV public education.

Bought these stainless lines last year. Finally had time to install them. Pics are of the front application.

Slowly filling up the tool roll. Took the mule on a shakedown run, thirty or so miles. Aftermarket Carb needs some tweaking, but I 'm sending my 76 carb to "Jim" for the full treatment in April, so as long as it get's me around the big city and a stream or two I'll live with it till then.

Road manners on the highway were very nice compared to the previous set-up. The more time I have on the Bilstien shocks the more I like them. Even with the OME "Heavy" leaf springs they are very comfortable on the road. Sometime this week I want to engage the hubs and see how things hold up on a light/medium duty trail.
