Nothing done, but I did do a little shopping. I purchased some trim pieces I wanted to finish off a few things around the doghouse. (Grommeting to cover the gap between the cab and doghouse) As well as some door jam trim I'm going to use around the headlight cutouts. I'll try to install that tomorrow before thanksgiving. Besides that, I also purchase another solenoid valve I needed for the fuel system. So, that means I'll have some more plumbing and wiring to do soon when they and the regulator get here. I believe I still have a heavy duty relay left over from the MK48. So my plans are to install the regulator in battery box and wire them to the batteries. Then run a fused master lead up to the cab to the relay. I can use the input side of the relay for power on all the time devices (cig lighter ports, radio memory power) then use the master power switch to toggle the relay to cause a "keyed on" 12v. Another item I plan on redoing is the tank level gauge. I've got the selector switch to view the tanks. I'm thinking about pulling the leads out of that switch and using it to power a standard 24v relay I have left over. I'll have to look, but I want to say all the MK48 relays were single throw double poll switches. I'll use the relay for the gauge level signal. Then send 24v to the solenoids to switch them. (The solenoids are a switching valve style so they only need power to swap one way or another) This will eliminate any fiddling with a mech. valve. Now, onto the suspension. It was mentioned earlier to use airbags to assist with the suspension. While it's a great idea, the more I got to eyeballing it, the more I figured out there's no room for it there. This is due to the steering linkages that ride on the outboard sides of the front axle. There's room on the passenger side to put one airbag inboard. But the toploader on the driver's side prevents that idea. So, some checking around on the part numbers and I got the compressed and extended length. I've purchased a set of heavy duty adjustable air shocks that will fit in place of the stock shocks. I'm not looking for something to "lift" the nose of the truck with. Just something to help cushion the front end a little more. And if I get a tad more ride height out of it, so be it.
Just think, I'm starting to work on the little odds and ends of it now. Too bad I'm finding more stuff I want to do to it:
LED healights
LED front signals
LED tail lights
Install my AC system
Install my turbo
Install a stereo
Install all the accessory ports
Build the "bed" modules
Add a set of wetline ports to the hyd system
Install the locker I have for one of the rear axles
I'd love to build a LWS ring setup for it...
Someone stop me
