    No power to tailights? Power at fuse block but not at brown wire

    I'm sorry, I do not follow. What crimp? Are you meaning the tap? No, no power there. I do not have any power on the brown wire from the back of the vehicle to the fuse block, but do have power at the fuse and the brown wire on the inside of the cab that is located under the fuse block that goes...

    No power to tailights? Power at fuse block but not at brown wire

    Hey SS, I was installing a license plate light and while tapping into the Brown wire for the tail lights my crimpers arced on the bumper and now no power to the wire. I checked the fuse at the block, and it is good. So I thought I blew an inline fuse. I traced power-or lack of- all the way...

    Oil Pan Gasket or RTV?

    My two pennies: I've had gaskets fail more often than RTV. I carry RTV in the oh9, and we use it all the time for just about everything. Good luck, Dave

    Dog Cage (Cargo Cage) and Dome Lights Hey SS, I was asked how I did the Cargo Cage. So I thought I would expand on that for you guys. This was originally made to keep my K9s from trying to drive. Two pitbulls and a Mastiff on your lap is super uncomfortable. But, I have found it to be...

    Yep, what I did for now was buy 6 to 8 lug adapters, (they are 2-piece) and are 2" thick. This is temporary until I get the D60/14 axles. Being 2" thick is two-fold. One it spaces the rim which I needed, and two it put the load near center of wheel, so I do not have negative stress on the...

    Hey OL AG '89, Thanks! Here are some pics of the electronics so far. I have not built the center console, so the wiring is just temporary at the 2 fuse blocks. It is all heat shrunk, sealed, and safe, but looks like a small rat's nest-I know. It is really getting under my skin. lol Have the...

    Brett, hopefully it will go in before Jono gets back. My buddy Brian just got a Bronco, and we need to cage it, and I need to build my center console, bumpers, and roof rack, and I don't want to wait for Jono, so Brian and I are going to buy a welder, notcher, bender etc. This means I can...

    That's what I used on mine also. It is a little redder, but looks good. You can see it in my build thread. Best wishes, Dave oh yea, i put 4/5 coats on that and door panels, and it wears very well.

    Hey SS, I've been on the run lately, taking the Blazer out every weekend. But I thought I'd share some photos. In the last few weeks we've gone to Kern Valley and Whitewater rafted, camped, went to Sequoia NP and saw 100 Giants, went to Lake Isabella, Azusa Canyon OHV at San Gabriel, Lake...

    Body lift and tires

    ^Ditto. You can run 37 or 38s on your truck w/o body lift, minimal rubbing, or trim front fender lip like mine. I am vehemently against body lifts as form follows function. Just my two pennies with all due respect. Best wishes, Dave
