NO, I can Not. You'll have to put on some glasses that arn't your perscription.

Then just. On, Off. On untill it's all blurry.. :D


My camera doesn't like movement ok...

Thanks
 
Ok, I'm looking for a custom/unique switch.

I'm looking to wire up the roof lights, and I've got 4.
2 face straight forward. 2 kinda out to the side.

\\\ ||| ||| ///
0 0 0 0

2 1 1 2

I wanna make 2 circuits.

One position on a switch makes the 2 inside turn on. (Circuit 1)
Middle position on switch takes both circuits turn on. (Circuit 1 & 2)
Two position on switch makes 2 outside turn on. (Circuit 2)

Is there such a possible switch out there.
a On/DoubleON/ON

I know there are plently of
On/Off/ON
or
On/ON
Or
On/Off

But none like I want, that I know of.

I'd perfer it look like my current switch, but I'd be willing to get a new style if I could replace my current switch also.

The current is
Off / One / One & Two
Or
Off / Fog / Fog & Roof

Click to expand...

Maybe an old push pull headlight switch from a 40 would come close. All the way in is off, middle the parking lights, all the way out the headlights. Could wire the front two on the bumper to the parking light (middle) and run all 6 on the headlight setting (all the way out) Just an idea :meh:
 
yeah, The green one I have, already does the whole off/fog/fog roof thing

I'm looking for a new switch that is only when I've got it in the fog roof position.

To replace the red/orange one's i've got..

Thanks though.. :D

I love our little dirt hill. Makes for some good flex shots.

I'm gonna have to go throught one day, and see hom many pics i have of it on hill.

:D

Thanks Cody
 
just to let ya know from mile and miles of truck hauling neva tie from the body ae bumper, it will bounce and come undone no matter how u have it , go around ya axel , i have some small straps if ya need , its just not safe buddy ,, the bounce can cut a strap easy!
 
looking good !

AS well as the items mentioned by Jon cross tie your binding N other words RF vehicle/ LF trailer--LF vehicle/RF trailer same in rear

C U AT SCC
 
That's not how we're gonna final hook it up.

Tomorrow we're welding on some D-rings.
So, it's going to not rub on thr trailer, and cut strap.

This was just a test run.. BUT thanks for warnings..
Thanks
Cody
 
Ditto Paul on the rear, tie it to the axle like Jon. say, i think its the state law.
 
New Birfields are needing to be ordered. Back to you tom...



Ok all jokes aside.

It's been out of commision since SCC.

I had gone to go to town one day and couldn't steer. Thought it might have been powersteering pump.

Well took front apart today, and I blew up a Birfield...

I'll post more when I get back, but I need some sugestrions, as to whether or not to put in some stock Birfs, or to go with Long fields, Do I put Chromoly, What???

Thanks
Cody
 
X2 on what John said, I've never broke one but said when I do I'll go with the long fields so you shouldn't have to worry about it again :)
 
Dad brought up an interesting point.

IT seems the weak link in the drive train is ment to be the Birf...

If I go with the longfields, what is the weak link then...?

Just wondering, is it better to keep this as my weaklink.

It's maybe a 40min job to remove... Supper easy...

Just don't wanna upgrade this, then I start exploding my lockers, or some other unfortunate thing.. :D

Thanks
Cody
