89eliminator Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 replaced the ignition cylinder (from a 95xj since I did the conversion), lucky I had a spare for a 95 column. Been in L.A. for 6 weeks for work and my bro broke the ignition somehow :mad: , so I also got to start it for the first time in almost 2 months....and I think it's angry with me :( oh, and jumped the battery because he left the dome lights on :doh: back out of town for 3 more days then mounting the second set of 35x12.50r15 dunlop radial mud rovers on my second set of cragar soft 8's (15x8's, 3" BS) and getting them balanced. nice sig... :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJA814 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 CW, is that a Harbor Freight special?? GOOD EYE!!! :yes: :brows: :D give that man a beer!! Tomorrow I'll get the wiring finished and hopefully get a recording up for all to hear!! I HATE the "dead spots" in my factory horn!!! :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: Going to run a new horn button. CW :cheers: BEEEEER! Unfortunately though, I think you may be disappointed with the horn. I put one in my grandfathers truck....it doesn't really make a OOOOOGA sound so much as a WAAAAAAA. Like a dying duck inside a tin pail. It's better than the stock horn for sure...but I was expecting a totally different noise. Let me know how it works out.

CWLONGSHOT Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It draws allot of juice. If you don't allow it to get enough, it dosen't sound like it should. It says it needs a 30amp fuse. Thats allot of fuse!! I tested this one with some 16Ga test wires and it did like your saying. I clipped my batter charger directly to it for a full 15 amps of power and it sounded like it should!!! SO, I'll wire it up with a relay and some 12 Ga wire and hopefully this will be enough. :yes: :yes: stay tuned CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeman17 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yesterday- Started Axle swap. The kid who had it before me out a 3'' lift with a about 2 inch spacer and th e back was only 3. TOday Got new brakes lines(flex lines) and Spring Isolators, got axle all in and tightened up. went to to brakes on and wrong rotors(1 was 2WD the other was 6 lug). No problem went to Advanced Auto and they didnt have them until tomorrow at 7:30 AM so i ordered then and would put the $#!&ty ones on jsut to get it running tonight. go to put pads on…… wrong pad and calipers(for 2WD) so out on my 45 min trip to Napa distrubution center I got all wrong parts. So i ordered them from Advanced Auto. Everything will be in tomorrow at 7:30AM and I will start as soon as i get out there. Also I drained my trans fluid well it all come out when we pulled driveshaft. Looked like a Chocolate Shake so i got that changed today also All that is left is put on brakes and bleed them.

CWLONGSHOT Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The other day I got the new obnoxious horn mounted up... I attached it to the inside of the front most frame cross-member. Right behind the bumper, below the radiator. Should be good place for the sound to flow forward... Tonight I moved the CB Antenna mount to the center of the swing out tire carrier.

CWLONGSHOT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Tonight I stopped @ Radio Shack and got my wire and once home, installed the grounding strap. Once everything was attached I tried it out. Got a responce right away from a guy about 5-6 miles out as the crow flies. MUCH better then it was before!!!
