Got my cable shifters mounted in the cab. Only place i coudl really put them is on the left side of the driver seat. Its a little tight and not the most ergonomic, but i can pop it into4hi on the fly pretty easy which is what i really wanted. AKA driving down some bush roads in 2 hi and need that 4 wheel quick. Just gotta put a plat eunder it as the 14 guage sheet floor isnt that stout. Its pretty hard to shift it, im hoping once im driving and get sokme lube splashed aorund in the case some more and fiddle iwth em, the crud or whatever is on the rails will work itself in. Worst case, I at some point down the road need to change my rear main seal, so ill drop both tcase and trans, put new modified shift rails into the case at that point.
Got my core support mounted up. Its very uggly and propbably the biggest hack job on the truck, but...it works. Maybe down the road I will use it as a template and make a nice, new one. Intercooler piping coming up today, hopefully have that done today, which would complete my powertrain. Prewiring the dash indoors. Need to make a little bracket to mount the fuse panel to. Kicking myself for getting the mini kit, as if i got the full size panel..it would just bolt right into the stock location lol. Fuel gauge coming in today, all others are already in the pods and wired up, jsut gotta connect them to the main harness, using a weatherpack onnector. Down the road I will make a custom gauge cluster to replace the factory one. I will use the 10.5" rear ends VSS to get speedo speed, and the stock tach signal for matching autpo meter ultra lite units. Just dont want to drop another 400 bucks on gauges at the moment. An hour meter will suffice for my oil change schedule for the time being.
should have some decent pics to post up after tonights work session.
