I spy scrap left over from when you cut the old crossmember off... I think? Not sure what that is. Time to bust out the grinder, man!

 

Looks great!!
Can't wait to see the CHOP!

 

Screw the grinder. I'll deal with the junk when I have the plasma for the SAS.

 

Fo sho! ETA on the SAS?

 

Dang, Scoob.... that thing is lookin sick and STURDY! You starting the SAS right after AZrocks? Love your truck man.... which I'm sure will be doubled once you go all SAS'N'CRAZY! Can't wait to watch you do dis! lol

Be safe out there,.....Wait,.... Ok, 'try not to break anything'... that better? lol

 

you do very nice work man!

 

Thanks! I really appreciate the compliment!




No new updates on the truck really. But I am only a few hundred bucks away from the trailgear SAS kit.

 

hell yea man!!! Hopefully I 'll get me another car or trucks soon so I can start working on an SAS and maybe an engine swap.

 

I am jealous of the amount of time you get to wheel and spend on your rig...

good stuff, keep us web wheelers happy

 

that skidplate looks friggin sick...beefy as all hell

 

Daym, can't wait for that.... I'm sure it'll be a great write up! Heck, maybe you can find a bunch of stuff to throw on CL, have a Garage Sale, ....WHATEVER IT TAKES, then you could get started, eh? lol.

 

I recently bought a set of power mirrors from Deathcougar that will swap in place of my manual mirrors. I'll tell ya. It's DEFF a huge PITA to aim those mirrors after every trail run. Now, I'll just have to sit back in my seat and press a button

I'm going to order some of these connectors soon so that I can retain a semi stock quick connect accessibility for when I remove the doors to go wheeling. Wiring shouldn't be too hard. This wiring diagram shows the basics.
The package should come later this week. Stay tuned for pics.

 

Scuba, I don't know how good you are with crimpers, but ya might wanna pick up the crimpers meant for those weatherpacks. They are a little pricey though even for cheaper ons.

 

The actual connectors I'm going to purchase have the terminals already in them with a 12" wire lead on them. Like so:

I've used similar connectors from the same company with great results.

That'll work too. I was gonna pick some of these up when I did my Fireball Ignition, but wound up no needing them. I had found some at a JY off some GM's.

Best connectors on the planet to use though.

 

nice, scoob... i was thinkin about gettin me a set too... but then you gotta swap out the armrest pads too... and the controls... sounds like a big wiring headache..

 

Actually, you don't have to swap armrests. Some trucks came with power mirrors and without power windows. This places the mirror control switch on the center console. Shouldn't be too hard to wire up and it should look semi stock.

 

damnit! i dont have a center console either!

kinda wanna punch the PO for raping this truck...

 

Nice Scuba; I just spent the last hour or so cruising Ebay to see if I could find something that would work on my '81 for power/heated mirrors...actually found some that might work--GM products..down the road project though

thanks for the idea...

 

I got the mirrors today from Deathcougar. They bolted right up. Now I need to figure out the wiring situation. I'm waiting on the connectors from PCS and then I'll wire them up soon.

Very nicely packaged.


I originally wanted the switch here:



However, after looking at it, it appears that there isn't enough room between the cab floor and where the pigtail for the connecter would be.

My next option was this spot next to the clutch cancel, but I don't like the idea of having to pull the whole dash apart.


So I kept looking and it should fit here pretty damn well...




Updates when I get them wired up.
