:roflmao: I may not be a fabricator but I'm pretty Damn good at wiring......one option is an $85 adapter and the other is to make one unless the trailer wiring is screwed.

Adapter?


Dude all you need to do is remove the 24V bulbs and insert 12V bulbs. Then remove the intervehicle cable and replace. You don't have to cut a single wire on the trailer.

I know that. I just want to try and keep it as original as possible.

Now you did it.... You said the O word.
That is definitely one word I don't need to hear spoken...... :looser:

Think we can get the Missouri rodeo clown to make an appearance?

I can make mine original in five minutes. I can show you photos if you need.

Wiring is no good! Looks like I'm buying a lighting kit, oh well LED's are better anyways!

Gonna do a spring over and Jerry can mount on it as well.

 

[DrMoab]

Don't buy a kit. Just wire it yourself. And LED's are kewl. I love them on mine.

Figure out what the hell my plans are

Well got the diffs emptied, removed the snapped off stub of a bolt in the 30, and removed the two broken bolts in the 44 (that have been broken since 2006, that required a drill and heli coils). Need to do a hardware run then I'll be able to knock those off the list.

I also managed to see that my caliper guides do not have big divots in them like I expected. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad about this. On one hand I don't need knuckles, on the other my front brakes still suck a lot more than the ought to, I was hoping for the easy to identify fix.

Also while I drained my transfer case oil, holy crap that was some ugly fluid, I'll have to fill it back up last week.

This weekend went a bit sideways so I couldn't get a whole lot done to it.


The best thing I ever did was buy a bunch of lockout tags from McMaster several years ago. When I'm halfway through a project like this I put one of those tags on the ignition listing all the shit that isn't right so I don't do something stupid like drive without oil in the diffs.

PS - Scored a bit today too, realized I had a 9/16" allen head socket in some tools I inherited. That will be a lot cleaner than the use a bolt method I've done in the past to remove/install the fill plugs in my Solid/Rockcrusher diff cover.

I'm gonna go into Napa and pick out what I like and my roommate will get them on his account. Then I'll get a long pig tail and wire it up.
