thank you!

this comes from a fundamental "truth" I've known for 20 years now (and my 88 follows the logic), but I've read about a few renix trucks here and there that don't seem to follow (aka: the resistor went bad and the truck no longer started at all). Can someone confirm it? like with a wire diagram or something? If the computer does indeed open up a bypass wire to give the pump a full 12 volts, maybe there is an inherent corrosion weakness that makes some trucks no longer "have it"? or it reduces the voltage to the point of being worthless?

keep tryin' with the pics. you'll get it.

I could also go with a plain-jane panel. I think this might be my best bet since it'll fit on the factory switch panel to the left of the steering wheel.

keeping the light off the windshield is of key importance to me. we did a curved LED bar in that location on my buddy's superduty and there is a blinding glare on the glass. lost a week of time due to a neighbor's house needing a near-complete rebuild of her chimney structure (I originally agreed to help prep for paint, but we found a leak in the flashing that had rotted most everything inside the chimney) so nothing has happened with the lights or bumper. but the time has allowed me to ponder more. I figure I'll need 4 switches (winch lights, outer uppers, inner uppers, and reverse floods). thinking about this li'l guy, but haven't yet found the ideal place to put it.

I split your post off on its own so more eyes would see it.

damn straight! I love this build!

too loud?

which steering did you go with?

can't beat that kind of deal with a stick!

there are some differences between an 87 and an 88 MJ, but I'm unaware of one that would prevent that kit from working just fine. also I'm moving this over to Tech.

neat!

my baby is a "smart" phone, and those quotes are important because as long as you're patient, it'll search the web. just don't ask it to run apps. and that's fine with me. it does the things I need (phone, calendar, alarms, radar, basic camera, to-do list, etc) and restricts me from wasting my life on addicting games and things. also it's waterproof to 3 ft and incredibly drop resistant. and I've tested both things numerous times. I cannot be trusted with fragile phones.

I also hit a roadblock. seems the fitbit needs a phone that runs android 5.0 or higher. so my old, reliable samsung rugby pro won't cut it and neither will my amazon tablet. so I had to find yet another device and so I ordered a used but newer samsung phone to use as a tiny tablet. we shall see.

I'm warming up to it. lots of neat goodies here and there. but the price, cab, and engine choice still remain. maybe in a couple years...

I'd guess it was on a used car lot at one time.

couple more mythbuster style channels. some really good stuff in here https://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainDisillusion/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/onemeeeliondollars/videos

lookin' very "factory" in there

how short are we talkin'?

you win the prize for the dirtiest MJ filter I've ever seen.

still better than most looks like a great project ya got there

you don't need a diesel to have that particular issue. that sucks.

daaaaaaaamn! steppin' up to the big toys! congrats indeed

love the truck! that is just beautiful. but very few people peruse the registration threads. you should start yourself a build thread to share what all you've done and start tech threads for your questions. that'll ensure the most eyeballs see them and your Qs can get answered.

oh my...
