Lets see now, its been so long since I posted what have I done? Other than pulling the radiator to access the bolt holding the alternator since I put the **** thing in from the wrong side months ago. Swapped the bolt around so I can pull it out without having to pull the hole **** front end again in the event I have to pull the alternator. While I was there I swapped out the belts to longer ones that actually fit better so both the alternator and power steering pump are at better positions. (Now I actually have two belts I can replace by number as I was smart enough this time to make sure they fit well and then placed the sleeves they came in into the glove box for use at a later time. Reinstalled the radiator and power steering cooler. Pulled and reinstalled most of the wiring since the company that built it assembled the fuse box INCORRECTLY. I had no power to the lights no matter what I did. That is till CruiseOrlando came over to take a look and helped me figure out what was outawak. Thanks Carter. Pulled the fuse block, moved the wire to the spot it was supposed to be in to begin with, reassembled the whole **** thing again, started re-running the wiring to the dash, under the hood, and to the rear of the vehicle so I can actually have brake/tail/turn and reverse lights at some point. Then re-ran the wiring in wiring loom to the tail lights themselves, making sure to have it as high and out of the way of anything that might be mean to wires. Lots of wire hangers/clips/loom/and as much water proofing **** to kill a..................... something.
Drilled a half dozen holes for rubber grommets to run the wiring loom thru in numerous places under the thing. Now, hopefully no cut/shorts in all that new wiring.
Installed the new double battery tray I bought something like two plus years back from someone on the board and found that it only has all four hold down rods but only one hold down clamp (on top) for one battery. ****, what luck. Gotta either make a duplicate of find one that will work since I have no idea who I bought it from so **** long ago. Mounted the Flaming River "kill switch" on the firewall and put together the battery cables with new lugs on the ends for use with the military grade batter terminals I plan on using. Lets see,,,,,,,,,,,I know there is more, just so **** tired now, I can't remember. Pics to follow for those that like them.
Hope everyone had a good Father's Day and a good weekend. Its off the shower for me now.
