Finished up the wiring. I upgraded the wiring to the center console with 2 awg from an 100 amp fuse under the hood to a distribution fuse block to the air compressor. I replaced the ARB 40 amp inline arb fuse blocks with dual fuse block shown to clean up the installation.
I left enough room to be able to add a radio in the future.

I am realizing now that SAS 10 is going to get here quick, so decided I needed to get another project done that I have been putting off. The tie rod at the pitman kept coming loose, I suspect because the one ton taper was not right, so I bought a new arm that I had them taper for me. Installed and hope that won’t be an issue again.
I had also had issues with the steering stabilizer coming loose. The bolt on the tie rod mount kept coming loose, so I decided try something different. The old mount.
I opted to install an oem 80 series steering stabilizer. I tested the range first and it works. I cut the tapered mount off of an old 80 series tie rod end and welded it on the steering link. I made a deep bevel on all sides of the mount and welded it on hot, so I hope it holds.
Added some paint and put it back together. I am hoping it will absorb some of the road vibration felt through the steering wheel.
