Hey SS,
The last week and a half my Oh9 will sometimes/often die during deceleration. If I am coming to a stop sign and apply the brakes, I watch my rpms just drop all the way, so I have gotten very good at throwing it into neutral, which will keep idle, make the stop then drop it back into...
Baldyviewdesignlab,
Looking good. Keep us posted with some pics when you get it done.
And Rjinga, I will be mounting my reverse lights up on my roof rack. The BO spots are too low and small for my
requirements.
Happy Trails,
Dave
Very Cool rig! Excellent job on body and paint- mucho talent. You're about 40 minutes from me, if you ever want to go wheelin' let me know.

I'm not necessarily replacing them, as much as I am adding to them. Out on the trail, the stock lights do not put out enough lumens to view the amount of terrain required in particular instances and situations.
Respectfully,
Dave
Back up lights
Hey Josh,
I have not done this mod yet. Mainly b/c I have not built my rear bumper and roof rack- which is where I will mount the BU Light. But I will use a relay (prob 20 amp) off the reverse wire to a SPST Switch and a dedicated wire from there to the light itself, as...
Way cool! My good friend works for the Forest Service and in the last year and a half we have done pretty much every trail in the San Bernardino Mountains, but as I travel out of town/state every weekend on our road trips/adventures, it was becoming more difficult to find trails that we hadn't...
Thanks! No, we don't have any prints for the cage. Be nice if we did, but we just built it in the vehicle like we do the race trucks. It was no more of a pain than any other vehicle, but a little tricky-especially where the roof raises where the cab meets the shell. When I researched Blazer...
Hey Guys,
Ok, new project. Adding a 55w reverse light from another MV. I would like to wire it so that it has a dedicated switch, but can only be energized while in reverse. So do I need a relay for this, or do they make a switch I am unaware of that has a built in "energizer/relay"? Just to...
I know this is a Hijack, but do any of you know the equivalent of Ibooks on the Android system. I have the Droid X and this would be a good thing to have.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Hey SS,
Ever since I got my truck it never had the GP Resistor on it. I just ran across this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/56714-cucv-diesel-swap-2.html and now wondering how it is working? And if it is ok the way it is. This mod was done by the SeaBees.
Can not having this...
New Additions
Hey SS,
Here's my newest additions. I bought a web belt, cut it, and riveted it to the door panels and put on molle pouches. Great for holding cell phones, chargers, whatever. Keeps the clutter down inside the center console.
And here are my seat covers if you haven't seen...
Palomar Divide Trail and Julian, Ca
Hey SS,
Thought I'd share a few photos. We did the Palomar Divide Trail near Aguanga, CA this weekend. 24 miles and climbs to 6k+ elevation. Real Beautiful.
Then we went to Julian and stayed with my Uncle and Aunt.
I joined a website called Trails.com...
Hey SS, especially the Sparkys out there,
I have a few extra batteries laying around that I would like to run in parallel to the main ones. I am not fluent in DC.
Will the 2 100amp alts charge all 4? From my research, I am not certain. I searched here and still not certain...
Maybe I wrote my post in a confusing manner. But as I stated, I checked the line all the way from my tap at the back to the fuse block-there is no power in the entirety of that run. And since my fuse is good, that tells me that my problem is between the fuse and where the brown wire comes out of...
