I got tired of the wiring on my boat trailer so I redid it all. Before:

B5DBABBD-8402-445F-812A-4B2F8571ED0E_zps

After:

2BD2593F-73AA-4E9F-93D7-EE6911A705DA_zps

Everything soldered and put in heat shrink. All the connectors on it made me think it would be easier to just strip it all out. Nice to have it done right. All that's left now is to hook up the clearance lights, which I have to drill 3/4" holes for still, lol.

Holy terminals batman...that was a mess. Glad you could clean it up, nice.

The only thing that wasn't working was one turn signal. But I didn't feel like digging through all the crap that was on there, lol. Couldn't believe all the junk. I don't care much for what were basically open wires on something that will be submerged. :lol:

I changed my oil and have decided next time I'll be bringing it and the Mobil 1 to my friends shop and have them do it for $10.

KMG they are the stock size LT265 75 R17, but they do look bigger. Not as quite as the Michilans but they seem to work very good in the slop I was in today. :jester:

Short of plain pipe bumpers, all the homemade jobs I've seen weigh a bunch and don't look too pretty. Cutting and coping is done by a machine on most company jobs, and they have jigs for everything. Plus guys who are great at welding lol. Not saying don't do it, just saying time and care will have to go into it to make it eye candy.

 

Also, I'm kinda done with the diamond tread look. Starting to wish I had gone smooth. Oh and $1500 is too much for a bullnose bumper IMO. But online they will be $$$

Sample pic Chris. But Tough Country is the only manufacturer that I have talked to in the past that will do the body lift modification on the brackets. No other company will do it. I believe that Frontier Gear has a nice bull nose bumper for half the cost but no body mod

I did out up a thread a couple years back about which bumper to get but now that I have a body lift it kind of limits me to what I can get unless I use the body lift brackets. Which then there goes all the strength

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
