Finnally she's done

MadFish · December 10, 2001

I got the truck finished. Well, there never really finished are they. But, she's as done as I want for now. Except the exhaust, Im going to talk to a friend of my dads today about it. He has the truck today anyway, servicing the transmission. But, I got the Kc lights on. It was a pain in the butt. Took me 6 hours to get them on and working. I had to do a lot of cutting and grinding on the grill guard to get them on. But, no one will ever notice. Unless the look at the underneath side of the guard. I'll get some pictures when I get her back this after noon and post for y'all.

Awww, I thought it was going to be that the car was done. Congrats on getting the lights in. They can be a pain in the butt. My favorite part is when you get them installed in under an hour and then they don't work and have to spend a whole day figuring out why they aren't working and it usually turns out to be a crossed wire or something simple. How did you hook them up? Did the KC's come w/ a whole wiring set up and a relay? Can't wait to see the pics.

They came with everything, wiring, switch, relay. I was going to hook them up so the would only work with the key on. But, I was tired and cold. So, I said screw it and hooked them to the battery post on the fuse bolck under the hood. I had to mount the switch to the dash. I tried mounting it in the little pods. But, the switch was to wide to fit. I ended up cutting the top of the pods or what ever they are called so I could run the wires back through the dash. I'll take pictures of that as well. I havent been able to try the at night yet. It was to cold outside this mornig for me to go outside and turn them on. Plus, I dont think my boss would like that. Maybe tonight. Im waiting on the rock guards I ordered for KC's to get here. I cant stand the yellow covers they came with. Red, black and yellow just dont look right. I'll get pictures of the damage I did to the grill guard as well.

Yeah man, how's the "reincarnation" going?

Glad you got the truck almost to your liking.

Jeremy, its done as far as I can take it for now. Its just sitting on jack stands waiting to be taken to Wyoming next september. Im going to completely redo the entire chassis, rear end, engine compartment and interior at WyoTech while im there. So, I dont want to do something and then have to tear it apart to do something else.
