studying the wiring diagrams I recall a famous line from 3 Stooges episode (A Plumbing We Will Go), Curly grabs a length of electrical conduit thinking its a water line : "No wonder it doesn't work, it's plugged up with wires, nyuk, nyuk". As I repurpose the GND bus to a +12 V bus, I encounter...

Yes, I recall that from high school vocational training : "Holes are positively charged quantities of nothingness that move oppositely of electrons." OK. Anyway, this is what I'm doing, under construction still. The wires that went to the ground bus are now attached to the passenger side frame...

Yes, its OK here, I avoid mud like the plague: You could have twelve wheel drive and get stuck in mud :( I saw pix elsewhere on this site where a fella got his 5-ton stuck in mud, so went to get his other 5-ton to pull it out, got both stuck. That was enough convincing for me. As far as...

would I care if I completed my circuit through the chassis or the firewall mounted ground bus ?

short range comms One for me, one for the spotter. Charades-type hand signals do not communicate anything useful to me, I prefer to hear words.

pics from engine side.

winch I know that where I came from was good road..............

"off road use only"

cucvsrus, Thats what I'm thinking, right there. I like it.

In my state, its OK to stick my arm out the window to signal....hey, I might have to add a window ? ;)

Put LED work light where the ginormous turn signal goes. Will re-lamp the little blackouts for turn signals.

Glove box fell off. This 19" instrument rack blank fits well enough.

installed an analog clock. All the finest vehicles have them :)

Not fast, nope:) When I had the M35A3 with the '109 box, it was a fine wood collector: branches would accumulate above the cab, against the box, as I drove.

So I attached steel cables from the top of the cab to the grill guard. There is sufficient flex body-to-frame that the cable mounts (eye bolts) broke the first trip out. The trail tells me I don't need limb risers, apparently.

I use the 12-bolts in stock configuration: dually hubs up front, steel spacers out back. I have the magnesium inserts from the previous generation of wheels, cut down on a bandsaw, eliminating the runflat feature but retaining the double beadlock capability. I typically run about 8 psi on the...

Yes, Ridenby, I'll get some pix up. Should I wait until the cab cage gets installed before gimpyrobb test drives it? :)

Thanks :) The doors are from a commercial source (PM me), very well engineered as the original hinges and latch are unchanged. Its bolt up. The Blazer had a tendency to stand up on its rear wheels at step-like obstacles. After adjusting weight/CG, it doesn't do that anymore = good thing. If I...

Put the Blazer on a diet to compensate for the weight gain from D60 + 14BFF, locked both ends: Top, back seat, tailgate, pintle hitch, doors. Moved the batteries to behind the passenger seat on the floor (optimas x 2). Spare lies flat on the floor. Wheel wells cut using a M35A2 front fender as a...

Its an add-on. Extra bracketry in the engine compartment for the compressor, still retains the two alternators. I'll look in my archives for pix.
