Well done, looks killer

Bolted down the tray and went for a test drive around the block and into our small paddock at home. It's so so much smoother with some weight in the back. It seems to be running really well, however I have some gauges to fix.

The lads are coming around, under the promise of free beer, to help with the wiring and other little jobs this weekend. I'm hoping to have it over the pits by March... Time will tell if I'm dreaming.

Wiring the tray today

OK, so I'm stuck.
I'm fixing the wiring loom that goes from the engine bay to the transfer case.
I managed to buy a new reverse sensor... However
The tacho sensor was toast

 

[Morebravo]

Here is the tachomoter sensor, which had the wires snapped off. I drilled out the top, soldered new wires in, heat shrunk the wire and put black sealant over the top to keep it protected

 

[Morebravo]

Now where the heck does it connect to the loom?
Can someone track there 2h sensor wire for me and maybe take a photo of the connection and the wire colour

Little update. I have been battling with some wiring problems over the last month and reading through old forum post to fix EDIC problems.
Managed to find the earth problem (finally) and installed all the wiring for the dash and tray LEDs.
Only a couple of small things to do now, which is exciting.

Here are a couple of photos from today as we clean up at home, while isolating.

I'm looking for a little bit of luxury. Does anyone know a steering wheel that will bolt straight.
Leather or wood?

I think SAAS make an adapter for aftermarket steering wheels.

Put in some tiedown rails today. They really are useful and make it safer / easier to have the canisters in the back.

Also tested out the tray lights, which are a little brighter than I anticipated, but definatley worth the effort to install!

Put in the rubber mat today, worked out great!

Hi everyone, the olde girl is REGISTERED!!!
It's wet and windy down in Tasmania at the moment however, the COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted, so I have been out for the maiden voyage.

So stocked

Nice work! I really like the bed design. So simple but functional in so many ways.

OK question time. I'm having more trouble with the Edic so I installed a manual override cable.
Has anyone installed a momentary switch to the Edic motor and used it to throw the arm forward?
Thoughts?
