It's mounting bosses for the bed... I'm gonna still 1-1/8 holes on the square tubing and weld them in so I can just bolt the bed on. Instead of bolt and nut

Today I machined an adapter out of stainless steel... M10x1.5 female to male 1/2-13.

The tale of SuperMJ-photo654.jpg

The AX15 shifter cane was threaded for M10x1.5 , and the shift **** I bought a while ago had 1/2-13 threads on it.

What makes it so special?

I wired the shift **** to have two switches (thinking maybe I ll add one more, not decided yet).

The tale of SuperMJ-photo803.jpg

The tale of SuperMJ-photo462.jpg


The red button on the side is momentary, meaning it only is energized for as long as the thumb is pressing on it.

The black one is on-off switch.

The plan is to use the red for air horn and the black for the front led light bar.

Did some stuff; reinstalled the alternator back on the engine, discovered I had a spare renix alternator as well. HOW I GOT IT, I have no idea. So I'm thinking I ll ship it to an alternator rebuilding shop and see what magic they can do with it.

Cut the old dizzy cap so I can have a window but realized I don't have the old rotor so I think I ll just go buy new stuff tomorrow so I can index the dizzy.

Started cutting the template out for steel flares with CAD (cardboard aided design). Lol

Also installed the new knock sensor.

Reinstalled the fan clutch.
