This is the wiring diagram I found that I believe relates to my car. I found several that didn't make sense so I concluded they are either not the correct model year, engine or tranny configuration. Some of the diagrams didn't show these details.

I like it. I am trying to decide if I want to drill holes down the roof rack rails or not. I think they will be useful.

Making brackets. This took a while to get right. The bar was 43 inches and my rack is 40 inches. I wish there was a 39 inch bar to fit in the middle of the rack, oh well. Came out well I think

I ran the roof wires under the roof liner to the A-pillar down to the right foot well. Drilled into the wheel well area and ran into engine bay. I did not want to take stuff off to go through firewall.

In the end I had three wires running to the roof. One for rear lights and two for the front bar. The front bar has two circuits, one for the white lights and one for the amber.

I put connectors on the three lights so I can remove them if need be without wiring work. It added lots of tedious work but worth it!

This is a 3/4" heim. I loved how beefy it is. But i i hav to get the male version and threaded insert to make it adjustable and replaceable.

I tacked the first tube and held it in place for fit test. I am using 3/4 " heim joints. This presents a little problem as the holes are 3/4" and the bolt on the stock idler arm is .45". I got 3/4X1/2" sleeve bearings and grade 8 bolt. I decided to get 3/4 X 5/8" sleeve bearings and drill the center link hole out a bit. This is because the hole is tapered for the ball joint and I believe this hole will get loose through the years if only the end is actually snug against the 1/2" bolt.

Tested lock to lock. I should add that I took this opportunity to lower the idler arm about 2 inches. I believe this will further help to stabilize the linkages/steering and save the boots life. I do have to get a drop pitman arm though.

After playing around with the setup in the previous pic, I realized my error with the design of one heim. It was a very easy design change to make though, had just the right space to add another heim.

Here you can see the simple mount. And gusset. I am using 1/4" steel. I had to cut the spindle top to be able to mount the spindle as high as I need it and clear the bolt. I could have made my arms another 3/4 longer and move the whole thing further back on the plate. The spindle would clear the bolt. BUT, I decided the arm being short is important. I did have to make sure radius was enough not to mess up the steering geomtery. Also, I decided a gusset on one side was more than enough.

First, I had to go to home depot and get a three prong 240 volt outlet. This is what I had installed previously.
