Not sure what happened to my post... but i cut a replacement flap for the bottom of the gauge cluster out of a spare floor mat I had. looks great and it even matches the tan interior.
I have a dual swingout bumper, and last week I took a buddy out camping. He didn't open the ladder swingout wide enough, so the hatch hit the ladder.
It resulted in a small chip of paint off my hatch and a large chunk of paint missing off the ladder.
I found this stuff at Canadian Tire, $7 and should prevent damage next time this happens
Cheap black hard plastic paddle holster for my .45 1911 pistol (or your pistol of choice) tek screwed to the trans tunnel. I put it on the passenger side canted forward. More comfortable than the seatbelt digging into the holstered pistol on my belt, and right within easy reach.
I set the tension adjuster on the holster tight, and it has never come out even during the roughest wheeling. I live 15 miles from Mexico, I pretty much carry everywhere, and certainly in the bush.
My A/C doesn't work. I had it converted to the new stuff and charged but it quit after a while.
Meanwhile, there, on the inside fender is a vacuum switch that's interestingly connected to the idle step-up pot on the carb. Tap into a vacuum source, pull some only-on-when-ignition-is-on power under the hood, run the ground wire through an extra rear heater switch, and Viola! Idle step up for winching, warming up, or maybe even a redneck sorta off road cruise control. I've got it set at about 1200 rpm.
In other news got to screwing around with the A/C compressor and a hot wire from the battery kicks the compressor on, but no cold. Might just need a recharge. If that fixes it, then I'll just wire it back into the step-up circuit in parallel to the switch in the cab and I can have both A/C and an independent fast idle.
Oh, I ground the label off the switch, wondering what I might find to put on it. . .
In - Out
Over - Under
Up - Down
Left - Right or left and right arrows
....Nice fix!
