Things have been slow lately. I am frequently stopping work for my job and the wiring has really been slow.
The wiring harness is installed and 95% functional. I still need to get hold of some stock terminals to adapt the dash wiring to the stock plugs in order to clean it up a bit. I tried to use splices to the old plugs but it just made a huge mess of the dash and looks like crap so I need to take the time to make it right.
Also, it needs to be loomed, the NSS and reverse lights need to be hooked up, and I have to work an issue with the turn signals. They do not operate when the switch is actuated but they do work with the hazard switch so it is just a matter of shooting some wires.
I need to determine if the rear driveshaft is going to work since we moved the axle back 2" but I really need to be able to fully extend and compress the suspension for that so we will have to wait until it is mobile. Maybe next week.
The exhaust is also another hurdle. A set of 90 degree pipes are on order so we can try to route the exhaust over the frame. They should be here next week.
Other than that, everything is going well and I suspect the rig will be complete in the next week or 2.
