Bostrom air ride and straight thru muffler put on today.

nice steve! I want to find 4 of those for the quad cab

Hey Steve, are you just putting in a drivers seat? I just picked up a pair of Bostroms last week. The drivers side went it great (with a short spacer) but the one for the passenger side is way too tall. Going to have to engineer something to keep my passenger from hitting their head. LWS mount mayhaps??

On topic -- Looks like I'll be replacing my alternator this week. Mine fried and arc'd everywhere. I'm putting in a civilian version 24v 70amp.

Steve, been looking hard at seats, narrowed it down to Bostrom Patriot, T910 LoPro or ProRide III LoPro.
What model did you use? As you made risers what ride height? Seat width? Upper height?

In post #791 I removed the muffler and ran a straight pipe, I but too loud. Bought this muffler from a distributor i cant remember for about $65 and went to a buddies house and he welded it up for me. Much better.

I put on my hard top, one antenna mount and LED mirrors .

I changed my front tire after a blowout at the shop! Also disabled the CTIS because it kept dropping all the tires to 20psi.

My googleize is weak as I'm not finding a thread on what is done to add a second starter system to get around the box....Do you have a link you can share?

Was having problems with my truck not starting from time to time. It usually happens after I try to start it multiple times. The first few times it starts right up. but after I drive it and repeatedly turn it on and off there comes a point where it will not start. So, I installed a second starter switch the bypasses the control box. It's the same exact momentary switch next to the starter switch.

When you say truck doesn't start, do you mean crank with no start or no starter cranking at all? I'm trying to understand what your switch and bypass accomplishes. There are times my M923A2 will crank and not start; however, with a little extra power via a slave cable and cucv, it starts fine. Cranking speed without the slave cable attached does not seem to be the issue.

Doesn't crank is if no electricity is getting to the solenoid. Batteries are all good and fully charged/maintained. Next time it happens I'll check the connection at the coil with my Fluke Voltmeter to see if its getting electricity. If it isn't it has to be the control box.

Installed recovered seat bottoms, Replaced broken gauges, Changed fuel filter, coolant filter and oil/filter !!

Finally got around to installing my NOS cargo cover. All the super rope was shot, ordered new from McMaster Carr . Man that thing was a tight fit. Hopefully the warmer weather will relax it a little. Also installed my fender mount bracket, still need to repaint it along with the sugar scoop. At least got the holes drilled, better to do fit it then paint. I have more of these brackets in the classifieds if anyone needs any . I tied it off the drivers blinker guard, if anyone has a better place to tie it off let me know. Got all that done to attend a charity car show and take home a plaque.
