Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
3 of us started on that thing at 11am and we had it installed and working around 11pm lol. I still need to figure out where the e-level sensors are going to mount. We worked on those til 1am and got one half way mounted. Hopefully I can figure those out this week.
Detailed pics will be up tonight. The wiring looks awesome but I just hope the exhaust is not going to hurt it. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
I wanted to mount everything in the frame and have everything possible hidden.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
After getting everything mounted up and tested we only had one leak from the plastic hose quick connect. Luckly had a spare. Then I started trying to mount up the leveling sensors. I went to Home Depot and bought a 12x12 sheet of 16 guage steel to make these plates to mount the sensors. What do you guys think about the way I mounted them? Is it a good spot?
I also drilled a whole and tapped it to hold the lower sensor arm. I made the mistake of taking the measurements for the center of the sensors and not the center point of the rod at mid point. So thats why the sensor is off to the right so much. I was thinking it was suppose to mount in the center of the plate I mounted up. Measure twice cut once.... lol. Just glad the place was big enough to mount the sensors on.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
So far I have only mounted the two rear sensors... I havent figured out a place to mount the front just yet. So if anyone else has done this... PLEASE let me know.
Here are some more pics of what we did.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
Hmmm- I don't get it. Why would anybody spend all that time and $$$ to make the underside of a farmin' truck all fancy and clean? Also, what's up with those air-pillow thingy's? You kids must be smokin' dope to mess up a good hay-hauler like that! J/K dude......the work and parts selection you've done so far is top notch for real. I'm a little bummed that I'm not in a position to follow suit right now, but really inpired by your tenacity. Keep up the good work and keep sendin' those pics.....I need more inspiration. This thing is going to be Siii-ick when done.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
Thanks guys... Its been fun and a huge learning curve. Hopefully the rear wheels will get here this week so I can mount them up. The progress is moving alone but I go weeks and weeks without touching it, either waiting on parts, working of spending time with the family. BTW... this is the other thing that has been eating up my time. My 11 week old daughter Macie.

 Looking awesome man.. I'm watching this one for sure. What color are you thinking for the truck? I am assuming blue? BTW - I'd cut off my arm for a little girl like that man. She's beautiful. Congratulations.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
Yea I am thinking about a really dark color blue... The 68 that I just bought is the red/orange and it is really growing on me. But I see a bunch of them and it would look pretty dumb with the blue suspension.

Re: Project "Funky Monkey"
I just came across your build and it's looking great. That little girl is beautiful. I have a 6yr old daughter and she consumes most of my time which takes me away from my build and other things, but well worth every moment I spend w/her. Keep up the great progress.
