Only two pics I have of this week's work on the cruiser. I started stripping the rear axle, after the pic I took off the rest of the drum assemblies, removed the third and started cleaning up the housing before it gets cut to receive the mini tubes. I know the mini housing cuts are rough, I cut long on the tubes so that I could square and cut them when they're more managable (a metal bandsaw would be handy sometimes).
Been busy working on this pigsty since everything has been moved around for access to insulate and as it turns out 92 and some odd batts take a while to trim where needed and hang. Then it'll get drywall (oh...yay).
Can you spot the two cruisers?
Installed an interior LED light for the cab that fits inside the stock interior light housing ($12 from autozone.) Re-wired my washer pump back to the stock switch and finished hooking back up the defrost vents. Also did a 30sec mod to the gauge cluster so I can get it in and out w/o damaging the speedo cable, but it stays secure in the dash.
Taking the wee ones four-wheeling tomorrow, should be a good day......
