Build Megadoomer Build

So basically a nothing burger of a day.

I swear it happens once every two weeks. Just drove around getting parts or taking the wrong ones back or running out of gas or something. It’s amazing how fast the time can go and nothing visually gets accomplished

So what do you do in isolation? You reinvent the wheel. Making LED lights from scratch.

That’s pretty neat!

Any need for a heat sink at all?

It runs pretty cool. Hardly any amperage. I am more concerned with sealing it all. Haven't figured that out 100% yet.

I thought about doing the T3q logo, but in a small space it doesn't show well.

I am going to silicone mold the lenses and make my own that is a smoked black clear. Cuz, you know, black.

Last weekend we did a little fab'n. Not pro work but it should do. The CV off the transfer case is very close to the trans pan. We made a little piece to notch it.
We started small.

Not welded in yet. That will be this weekend possibly.

My LED light are almost complete. Just have to do the side markers. Debating whether I want to modify the housing or make from scratch like I did with the tail lights.

I ordered the new steering box. Turns out the 78-79 full size bronco uses a gear like the Scout but it is available and cheap on rock auto. Should get that Tuesday.

I designed my own shock towers and will have them cut out soon I think. I am trying to place the box and towers so I can get it all to jive.

78 - 79 Bronco steering box?

Home-brew shock towers?

5.3 LS install?

So much cool!

Been drooling over these extended 40 series towers that 4+ makes. Doesn’t make them for the 55 so kinda leaves that wide open
