Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Got the reverse lockout wired for the T56 6 speed today...was pretty easy. I actually read the directions. Tomorrow will wire the reverse light switch on the trans tomorrow...then I can button up the high hump and finish the install of the rubber matt. I also ordered a gear shift boot today as well...

Nice list! Do you have pics of your LED reverse light? I haven't decided how to do my reverse lights yet. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I'll try to take a picture tonight. It took me a while to figure out what to do because I liked the look of the rear without the factory reverse lights. It was rather simple though after I found the solution because you can't tell it's there until it's lit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Here are some pictures. Hope they help. I bought the light through Amazon. It is a little pricey though. The led light mounts on license plate frame so you don't really see it unless you're looking for it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks, I was thinking of putting them near the license plate. So that might work for me as well. I appreciate it. Looks nice and clean.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Went up and put some more of the truck together. I need to be out of the shop by the end of the month after 20 years he says to leave. It's okay it's a dirty place anyways I'm going to find a cleaner one. I don't know if I want to leave it dropped or put it back to stock height. My son also did a little more work to his truck. He finally got interested and now I have to leave the shop and find a new one.

Don’t get discouraged, it always seems when one door closes, another opens up..in the end this may have been a blessing in disguise....

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I fixed my driver side window so it doesn’t push out the sheet metal on the outside when it goes up

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Got to see what this thing looks like, now that I've shortened it. This is the first time it's been "assembled" since I took it apart.
Still a LONG ways to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Did the jeep wiper arm mod which allowed me to fit 15" wiper blades and added Detroit Speed Selecta-Speed Wiper kit. Worked wonders with the recent SoCal rain we had over the weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Spent the day trying to get my steering column from squeaking. It has some play at the top near the wheel. It squeaks when I wiggle it up and down not when I turn it. I failed to get it to stop squeaking. It has a new bearing at the bottom and top. The top one is the one with the play. If I tighten it using the clamp and spring at the bottom of the column and the rotating ring at the bottom it pulls my steering wheel to close to the part of the column that houses the blinker mechanism and the wheel bottoms out and will not turn. It is an aftermarket wheel.
