Lilly Reboot Part 2

Posted on May 15th, 2013

Today continued the go through process, identifying parts and components that will be replacing.  Still need to wash it really well.  Given the fact that Lilly is still not registered yet due to waiting on duplicate title, can not get to a car wash facility and my apartment complex is against washing of vehicles in your spaces.  So until I wash it, I can not start cleaning and buffing the exterior.  Read more...

Hinged Console

Posted on February 5th, 2011

By Tony K

I added a large amount of wiring and switches to my console and to make access better than the 5 screws that normally hold it down I went ahead and put a hinge on it.  This allows me to just tip it up.  Once it is up I have access the wiring for my air locker switches, aux light controls, 12v DC outlets, an auxiliary fuse block, interior winch controls and the negative buss that serves as the ground for all that electrical.  Read more...
