It took you three beers to attach a coozie to your fender?

It took you three beers to attach a coozie to your fender?

Well I had to remove the snorkel and fender so that I could weld on a grade 10 nut to the back of the fender to feed a grade 10 bolt through. Drilled another hole for the safety chain to attach to the frame in case the grade 10 bolt that was attached to the grade 10 now captured nut failed. The coozie was overheating in this location and I was at my wits end. I considered overdoing it and installing an electronically releasing latch to easily detach said coozie but I figured that would be overdoing it NLXTACY style

No, I would have started a thread about being at my Wits' End™ about not having a cup holder on my fender while I'm working on the truck. The intent of that thread would have been to ignore other people's input and vacillate about what I was going to do all while working on other stuff or focusing on the next shiny object. Then, 6 months later when someone bumped the thread to ask what the hell happened with the exterior cup holder, I could then say fug it and just stuck a neodymium magnet in the coozie and called it a day. But I would have had plenty of pictures and the magnet itself would have been over kill...and it would lead to over heating.

Now, out of ALL the f***ing cupholder threads, we find out we've been focusing on the WRONG area. OUTSIDE!!!! What the hell were we thinking? Can you sell these? Do you make them in dual cupholders? I want to see a design with TEQ on the outside of it so the rest of the world can see it!
Genius! Roll down my window and grab a drink! No more problems with open container laws!

Took advantage of jet lag and got a jump on the weekend this morning, installed LED headlights (lows) and finally got the hand throttle in there in anticipation of winch install. Also picked up an Antigravity Microstart XP-10 jumper battery, which I think will enable me to go without a dual battery, for now at least. Attached some pics..


Microstart XP-10: amazingly potent for its size. claim is to be able to start a 4 liter 6 cyl 30 times on one charge. I Amazon Primed it just in time to avoid my 80 towed after leaving the dome light on while out of town

then got to the LEDs

nice so far

on to the hand throttle (OEM from CruiserParts - thanks for the heads up LINUS)

pesky plastic retainer was a bit snug for the bracket so my Leatherman's saw blade was just the right width to loosen it up

hit photo limit, will continue..

 

[hamishpotter]

Continued..

did not remove seat so I was upside-down in the drivers seat, which tweaked my back at one point - my dog Bandit heard me and came running out to see what all the crying about..

finally got it sorted - works great. Thank you Cruiserparts.. quick and easy install, all done with a Leatherman

Now I just need to pick up a winch.

And still curious how Jason Hansen was running from the law..

Installing a Slee bumper and Badlands winch on @Dr Gil 's LC. It's a work in progress.

 

[concretejungle]

what are those little springs for?

Looks like they keep tension on a steel rod to keep tension on the cable as it spools in or out. It looks like a nifty way to keep the wire cable layered neatly instead of oVer lapping.
