What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Boucher]

I finished my rack light install, three sets of LED lights on the rack each needing positive and negative cable. I purchased a large spool of black and red wire and 1/2 heat shrink off amazon and made my own cable set. I marked the wires on both sides so I would keep the circuits correct. I then heat shrunk it to make a nice cable. Because of the size of the bundle, I couldn't conceal it under the windshield moldings so I ran it into the rear hatch area and took it through the frame. Came out good cant see the cables and I didn't compromise the vehicle with any extra holes.

Yesterday I finished up the wiring on the accessory fuse block and started installing the accessory relays. I just need to run a bundle of wires to the console and pick out which switches/ switch covers Im going to use .

Nice looking wiring job. I have no idea what it is but it's neat as hell.

Thanks.
I hate to admit but they are $0.29 for a pair, cheap as hell, Ebay DLRs from China that I got as disposable lighting for an aquaponics proof of concept project. They lasted longer than I would have expected with the test (over a year in a high-humidity environment running 16 hrs on\8 off) so I had a ton of extras, decided I would use them for this. I used 3M HD mounting tape instead of the foam tape in the package.

Nothing, nothing on my van at all. however:-
I did buy my wife a 20 year old VW T4 ( eurovan) 8 seat bus .....been cutting/grinding and welding in new metal for the past 4 days.
One previous owner .....I think he used it as a submarine.

Today's job was to clean the engine bay to get rid of the accumulated desert sand. Steam cleaner did a great job. At least at the end of shelter in place the rig will be ready to go anywhere.

Haven’t had a ton of time to work on the truck recently with work, house remodel, shelter I in Place stuff going on but I was able to put some new vinyl over my Original KC light covers.

you know sometimes you just gotta put a smile on your face.

Before and after pics attached.

Got some new shocks for the Jeep finally... can't wait to test em off-road, whenever that will be...

It's nice to have a buddy for sure. Until I find another old goat like me I have to go solo and need the winch. Stay safe ! :-)

agree with the winch too for soloists ( is that a word?), also agree with synthetic rope over steel any time.

Very nice work! Now go out and get some scratches on it!

Very nice work! Now go out and get some scratches on it!

I have most of it vinyl wrapped(all I like is roof/hatch/rear quarter panels). So far it’s holding up well against them! Took it through some brush a few weeks ago and you can’t even tell it!

Fixed the under hood dome light. Detached, cleaned contacts, tightened bulb holder contacts, then reinstalled. Boom!



Used eraser from pencil to clean contacts. Little box on right is not attached to anything. It's a weighted design to make contact.



Also changed out bulb to LED.
