[Project] Clean Start

[deathphoenix99]

usually it's for the 2HI button....but it's missing the back side of it.

[Sonomanclature]

^^ what he said
there is no internals just the panel and those two buttons, i could put some press button switches in the back and hot glue them in ( for ease of replacement) or remove and fill all the holes sand them paint.

[Sonomanclature]

got my temp working in the OHC


Filled the 2wd portion of the panel


Then pulled off the 6" hellas fromt he front, as well as the 4" waly specials.

[Sonomanclature]

Put them back on, I'm worrying about the floppy nes of the stock mirrors, so going to see how much shake i get with these on, then add bracing/ epoxy the ****ers .

[Sonomanclature]

maybe we can see whats goin on now

[mostizzle]

I need one of those.

[-YumYum97s10-]

With the mirrors, since they aren't one lense but two, maybe you could cut down the excess poking out (towards the doors) epoxy them, filler, sand, and paint, make something that looks OEM, would be a pretty cool little project..

[Sonomanclature]

^^ if i had 98+ mirrors and was towing something all the time I would. but for now they are in the garage until I need them .

spent 4 hrs changing Leaf spring bushings, between the bunk ass C clamp, smashing my finger with between the frame and 15lb sledge, almost setting my self on fire, and dicking my shoulder to hell, its done.

Since i was changing them out, i put on my temporary 2" shackles, least untill i get stuff to make better ones. with everything including bolts they were under $20.

[Sonomanclature]

Had nothing to do today, went to the shop ate work to sweep up my mess from yesterday, ended up helping my boss put a new hoist on his trailer. then came home and made this.






Its just conduit, but it is plenty strong enough for 2 or 3 bikes, the bracket is 1/8" angle and some tube I found at the shop. going to slid a smaller piece of Conduit inside, and cover it in bed liner. all in all I have 15$ in it.

[roademon]

you are far too creative, find me a Z blazer and make it cool too :P

[Sonomanclature]

I broke the front bar today, half asleep and drove the bike right into the mail shanty roof overhang, so i have to make a new one, no damage to the bike, just snapped the bar in two.

[deathphoenix99]

That's pretty cool. Did you make the mounts for the front fork or did you have a manufactured one? Some closups of the mount if you made it please.

Nah I just whipped some up at the shop, I'll have to get pics after work. Wern't supposed to be cutting to day, but some one decided they wanted their shit yesterday.

[deathphoenix99]

I've been looking into buying 2 to mount in the bed of my truck, but haven't been able to justify $14 each for something I don't need.

[Sonomanclature]

The tube I used is about 8$ ad Truevalue, and the angle iron was free, only used 8" of the tube so that left about 28" left for what ever.

this. pics plaz

[Sonomanclature]

Here ae the pics, these both took a total of maybe 15 minutes. they aren't pretty but they work and will be covered in bed liner any way.

[deathphoenix99]

Thank you for the pics, now please send 2-3 of them to my address. Thank you and have a nice day.

[Sonomanclature]

moar parts, debating on hooking up the fan with always on low side, and putting high on a toggle. atleast untill i can get a controller.

[Sonomanclature]

got a new IAC connector, and just pulled the pins out of my old one, and put them int he new one, wrong order, fried my IAC valve. so I'm going to go back tomorrow and just grab a used one to hold me over for a couple months. also going to get the connector I forgot for the fans, and maybe a few other tidbits.

[98lowerednewproje]

Nice fan. Which one is that exactly?

[Sonomanclature]

Its off of a 96 Concord, but I was informed that the newer ones fit better and dont have the larger motor on them, so I'm bringing this one back and getting one off of a newer modle.

[Sonomanclature]

Well, went to the other yard today, was informed that if i wanted to return the fan i had to go to the other yard. so i put it back in the truck, and went to look for a 98+. found 1 out of the 10 or so cars there, it was wedged between the engine and core support, and one of the plastic ribs were broken. Soooo, i just used the one i have and got a plug for it.


Also after being discouraged from not finding an AD244, i looked in one last Dime before leaving, and to my surprise.
Jackpot

also any one need parts for their Securi car?

[Sonomanclature]

and the circut that controls my IAC is dicked, so i have to get a new PCM. So its either run it the way it is, then swap out PCM when i get to a V8 swap, or spend the 120 on a new one.

[Sonomanclature]

small shit today.

[Sonomanclature]

[deeznutz]

Lookin good!

[roademon]

That's pretty rad looking!

[Sonomanclature]

I like this pic

[98lowerednewproje]

Hang on, lemme get out my suction cups so I can hang off the wall and see it good.

[Sonomanclature]

Is it showing up sideways?, shows normal for me

[98lowerednewproje]

Yeah its 90 degrees out.

[Sonomanclature]

**** photobucket.

[Sonomanclature]

Got my outlet up for my welder, now to get a mask gloves and some rods.

And it still show sup fine for me, even from the laptop lol.

[98lowerednewproje]

It shows up fine now. *climbs down from the wall*

[Sonomanclature]

Got rid of the leaky remote oil lines, in favor of a shorter filter and direct block mounting.




shortly after I degreased the under side.

[98lowerednewproje]

Nice, I got talked into removing mine when I rebuilt the motor, but it wasn't as big a deal for me.

[Stewzer55]

That shorty filter looks like its less of a pain in the ass then the one on a 2.2

[Sonomanclature]

Planning on going to the yard tomorrow, there are some cavis, and a couple camaros. so maybe i can find some comfy seats.

[Sonomanclature]

Scratch that plan, though i may still go, i wont be getting any seats.

whipped up a quick box, had to get rid of the gheto box i rocked yesterday. still need to carpet it and what not, but for an hour box its not too bad.

[4point3]

Truck looks good!
How did you wire your fans? Did you leave low speed on at all times and high on toggle?
Thanks

don't lose your pretty pink air freshener

I wont, that's the only one i like "morning fresh", its the only one that doesn't make me sick, or feel like I'm in an old folks home. I bout a case of 24 last year, and am down to 3.

[roademon]

Wow I use black ice or new car usually. But it's allergy season so I can't use anything or I go mental from sneezing.

[Stewzer55]

But Heather, you don't need a new car one for your Ram.

[roademon]

Nope! It has au natural new car smell lol. But the dime I usually have black ice or black palm. My least favorite is vanilla. Makes me want to gag when people have vanilla air fresheners in their cars.

[Sonomanclature]

Well, supposed to go camping next weekend, was going to do a little light off-roading in that time. But since my camping space is about to be under the wall of flames from Colo Springs, guess I'm not going.

[Sonomanclature]

Just got back from Leadville, over all good time. underestimated how cold it was supposed to be and didn't bring an extra blanket.

[CleanFreak]

i've done that countless times. kinda makes sleeping suck
