Re: Built in Vail, CO (ToddyT16 Build)

Up dated pictures! After another weekend of work.

I replaced the roof rack, I had to take the headliner out to get the back nuts. I also replaced the interior lights with PIAA blue's. Wired in the CB, and a few more odds and ends.

Thanks for checking out the build up! I will be continuing next weekend.

Left on the To Do list:
Portable Magellan 2000 GPS
Portable XM
Cell Phone Constant Power
CB
4 x12Volt Power
VSC Cancel Switch
ATrac & Locker Hack
Locker and Rear Diff- breathing relocation

Issues that I need help with:
CB, I don't know how to tune the CB, I don't have great reception.
I also have a clicking when I go into reverse, it is suspension related for sure, but can find it exactly.

Re: Built in Vail, CO (ToddyT16 Build)

I just finished ATrac & VSC switch. I made the mistake of doing the VSC switch first... Don't do it!!! The ATrac no cut method with pin #11 of LR2 is the best way to go!!!

I am working on wiring in the GPS and Winch remote right now... I am almost done with interior, then I will post more pictures.

Thanks for all of the support on the forum.

Current Issues:
CB Radio does not have the distance that I want. Even after making the ground wire more effective, we are purchasing a SWR meter.

Next Steps:
SUCBA Mods
Body Mount Chop
