Round 2: Keepin' up with the Joneses, Mud Devils and Tony Woody

[StretchASU]

Not men's bikes anyway.
Way too many e-bikes poaching trails these days

Laughs in @GONOVRIT

 

[Croatan_Kid]

Damn how many hoses you got? That also sounds like a personal problem. I mean I only have one, and it is what it is, which is a personal problem but it gets the job done

Duane

That was me saying that I have no hose

Listen bruh, you and @Croatan_Kid stop derailing my thread.
I've never, ever derailed a thread

 

[Jody Treadway]

Bunch of AN hose arriving later today. The fuel hose I had been using totally hardened up at some point. When I took it off the truck, it's no longer flexible. Instead, you can snap it nearly in half.
Checked a couple more little items off the list last night. Firewall wiring is tidied up, as is the headlight wiring
If @braxton357 would grace me with a call back I'd have a wiper motor connector and dash bezels to install.
Gonna make a big day out of it on Sunday and hopefully have it running smoothly and tuned.
Really, I wanted to say I received a long black dongle (PCM to laptop cable) from Amazon yesterday.

If @braxton357 would grace me with a call back

Just text him. He will reply if you're important enough. I'm still waiting.

 

[1stgenxxx]

@Jody Treadway just text him and tell him you're a guat renter and you're taking the A/C unit with you when you move out. He will be sure to respond.

 

[Jody Treadway]

Wipers, CB, heater, gauges all wired
Fuel hose arrived but Summit shorted me a couple AN fittings. They'll be here tomorrow for a long thrash fest on Sunday

You and those dongs

 

[Jody Treadway]

You and those dongs

If it takes a dongle to finish a 2.5 year project, so be it

Just make sure you stick it in the right hole buddy, she doesn’t like it in the other

She needs more alcohol in that case

 

[Jody Treadway]

Well crap. Summit didn't get my fittings shipped in time. I'm gonna see if I can make what I need with random stuff from Lowes temporarily.
If not, I'll plan to wrap up the wiring and hang all the sheet metal on Sunday afternoon.

Female -6 to male -8?
Yes, there are only 2 AN genders

 

[Jody Treadway]

Wiring is done. As soon as the fitting arrives tomorrow, I can wrap up the fuel system and it's time to run and tune it
Installed some rear lights today, loomed
under hood and under the dash. Secured harnesses and fluid lines
Started hanging the body panels today. Remember kids, measure 27 times and cut once.
Otherwise, you're doing body work afterwards.

 

[gslander]

I prefer to measure 1.5 times then build my truck around that error LOL

Geez. I had the old front fender to go.off of and everything. Still managed to cut it 3/4" short at the headlight opening.
Doing sheet metal work with a 220V welder sucks! Hooray for bondo

 

[Jody Treadway]

Fuel lines made and installed. New cable made from solenoid to starter. MAP vacuum hose installed to PCM
Ready to fire and tune...
Dang starter crapped out
Decided to swap the 42s off the YJ and got it ready to pickup.
Made a list to grab at Advance tomorrow and hopefully get it running for good Thursday

 

[ghost]

When’s the trip to Gulches?

 

[BigSouth]

When’s the trip to Gulches?

There’s one Saturday, but I don’t think he’s gonna make it…

 

[Jody Treadway]

I'll let you know when my new winch rope arrives.

 

[Bebop]

I'll let you know when my new winch rope arrives.

I don't even have a winch.
Sounds like a BS excuse to me.

I'm being a good friend to @ghost. I don't want my old rope to fail and ruin his day

 

[Jody Treadway]

New starter on and spins nice and fast. Spitting flames out the tailpipe, so time to nail down the timing and tune
I called @braxton357 while he was at Lowes, pretending to be an illegal alien seeking housing. He answered quickly and offered me some tuning help after realizing I'm the dude with the wife he always thought was cute
I may bribe him with ribs and flat beer to come up the mountain and help with the Holley stuff
@thebrotherinlaw gonna swing by Sunday and help me muscle the doors in.
With a little luck, it drives out the shop this weekend (still needs aesthetics).

 

[Jody Treadway]

Anybody want a Ranger?
This fn thing working my last nerve trying to get the Holley stuff to play nice. Ugh

Trade ya a pedal bike for it! They are much more simple. I promise it won’t be an e-bike also since you hate electronics.
