Maybe it was just too hard for them to spell.
Link to the lights please.Got the trailer lights installed this morning. These function as low power running lights, higher power brake lights, and sequential turn signals.
Drilled holes through the extrusion for wire pass through to keep it all nice and tidy. There will be misc sub-system auxiliary junction box points on the roof panels to keep everything clean (and eventually out of view). Sometime in next week hopefully I'll have some time to find out if Chevrolet's PWM for their trailer system will allow my sequentials to work properly or if I have to hardwire into the tail lamps.
I dunno, just thought it was odd such an obvious prestige plate was available.
nice lookin truck! do be careful with the trans (i know not saying much coming from the ranger lol) they are rather weak especially with all the power they have now so hopefully no issues in the future!More progress.
I also forgot I had bought 9 bed tie-downs for a project on my Ranger (they were actually made for Chevrolets)... so now I have 9+ tie downs in the bed in conjunction with the million other factory ones. LOL
Got all 8 pods installed. The overhang on the support bars is on purpose, I am working on a quick disconnect design for some rear cross connecting stability bars, as well as allow me to install a quick disconnect rear security panel to block off access to the bed.
I got both ZR2 stickers off and the rear chrome Colorado badging. Let me tell you what, even with a heat gun it leaves behind a bunch of foam-like-sticker adhesive. Since they are individual letters its more of a PITA. Took a couple of soaks of goo-gone to get it all off. Not looking forward to the two side badges.
Next up is to sand down and get some fresh paint on the mounting panels. I am actually going to install these upside down on the rack ceiling (need to get some longer carriage bolts) to basically create an entire ceiling of mountable space. I have some extruded aluminum slide out designs I am going to use on those.
I am hoping sometime in September to begin work on the free float monolithic 8 foot over the cab platform. Basically same simple design mechanics like the the wedge camper tops (ie; GoFast, etc etc), just minus the wedge camper. Once that is done my spot lights will be moved, rotated, and forward mounting on the front wall.
I also picked up some sand colored spray paint. I am going to test it with a coat of gloss enamel on something to see how it comes out. If it comes out like I want I am going to paint the gloss black side mirror caps.
Well the ZR2 from my understanding has a completely different up-armored trans from the other trim levels and is different than the Silverado that uses the 2.7 as well.
last i looked into it the zr2 and standard models run the same trans from the last gen which was rather problematic back then as well. hopefully no issues for you thou
I was thinking of the differential setups, open, limited, and locking.
ah ya thats all different
Thank you!
Just FYI the sequentials won't work on Ford's if tied through the trailer wiring. You have to hardwire through the actual tail lamps.
