We made it home safely after an awesome weekend! Managed to get home and unloaded right before the rain hit.
Lincoln, thank you for organizing a great event!
It was nice to meet everyone, and I enjoyed the company! You couldn't ask for a better group of folks to spend a weekend with...
I just spent a great day doing some last minute work on the truck. After loading the truck tomorrow, we'll be ready to roll.
Anjay22, are you still up for a convoy? Anybody else? Here is my plan:
1615 - Leave Montgomery (Exxon station at Hwy 105 and Walden Road)
1700 - Arrive in Navasota...
Okay, seriously... I have similar restrictions in my neighborhood. That's why my truck lives in an RV storage unit. I had it at the house for three days once while I was using it and the neighborhood started calling. I agree with the other posts. You will fix the height issue but they will...
Okay, I've got food on the brain, which leads to my next question... Are there food vendors at the Museum on Saturday, or do we need to pack a lunch? Also, what time will we convoy back to the BVORR Saturday afternoon/evening?
oddshot - Thanks for the compliments!
Been there, done that! Although it was a fuel leak and not an electrical issue that caused the fire, it still WRECKED my day! I had just purchased a 1979 Chevy 4x4 and was driving it home when it burst into flames!
Good suggestion, thanks! The top of...
Novice Questions
As a novice, I began this project with more questions than answers. Information on this site was a great resource!
One of my first questions was, "How do you correctly wire a Pyle PSWNV720 converter?" Making matters worse, the Pyle converter did not come with instructions or...
Yes sir! She is definitely a keeper! Not only did she start this project by giving me the accessory kit, but she wasn't too terribly upset when I got home last night at 2100 instead of 1700 as anticipated.
swbradley1 - Thanks for the feedback! I read about the "magic smoke" in a number of threads when researching this project. It sounds like something I don't want to experience!
There is a 50 amp in-line fuse between the battery and the solenoid in my install. The fuse holder is mounted 6...
The Install
It worked! Everything is wired as shown in the diagram in post #1 and there were no sparks or magic smoke when both toggle switches were turned on. The install went extremely smooth; however, it took a lot longer than I anticipated. I left home at 0600 and drove 60 miles to my...
The accessory kit is going in the truck today. The install begins with a 60 mile road trip to my buddy's fabrication shop in Pasadena, Texas. I have one more trick up my sleeve...
I'm headed out in a few minutes to warm-up the truck. More information and pictures will follow later today or...
Correct. Our cell phone chargers plug into a USB port. In the house, we have adaptors that plug into the wall. Both of our civvy vehicles have USB ports.
M35A2 Dash Light Covers
eagle4g63 - Thanks for the PM to clarify. You wanted more detail on how the M35A2 dash light covers were used to blend-in/hide the rubber cigarette lighter cover.
The two USB charger ports on the right side of the accessory kit have "USB Charger 1016" stamped on them...
Is anyone going through Montgomery (Hwy 105) or Navasota (Hwy 6) on their way to the Off Road Park Friday, March 21st? I'm thinking a convoy to Bryan / College Station would be fun...
