It almost looks like a truck again

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 01:04 AM

sorry guys and gals it was literally 106°F today and 200° in the Good Enuff Garage so as much as I wanted to shoot a video I'm sure the camera would not have worked in the sauna

Yes Sir, we're almost back to square one and may actually get back to the EV Conversion part, lol

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 07:31 AM

can you guess which Pitmaster arm The Greg needs?!

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 02:38 PM

Black Sunshine

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 02:40 PM

I think I missed my calling as a plastic surgeon

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 02:41 PM

just a nip n a tuck

**8man** · 07-17-2022, 02:43 PM

Ha, just got back in town and went through the steering column build. I had those same "doodads" when I built mine. Also, that bracket you built looks a lot like the ones I 'found' for my front bumper to mount to the S10 frame.

Getting close, can you feel it yet?

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 02:43 PM

a 1,000 cuts later...

**Gregski** · 07-17-2022, 02:45 PM

are you for real, remind me, I am so sorry

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:14 AM

sure, we labored in the blistering garage all day yesterday only for it to completely cool off to only 105°F today

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:16 AM

also got the brand new Grant steering circle installed

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:17 AM

though I don't like how far it sticks out, I don't have a back seat to steer from

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:18 AM

I'm thinking eliminating the specialized riser all together

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:23 AM

and we got ourselves, one finger power steering, completely CANable Free simply works in fail safe mode, (I believe this means the assist is the same regardless of vehicle speed as opposed to being progressively less as the speed increases in an actual Prius, oh well we'll take it)

**Gregski** · 07-18-2022, 02:34 AM

learned how to wire it up from this video

Electric Power Steering on my Dune Buggy for $75??

**Gregski** · 07-19-2022, 09:36 PM

the fender bolts come in two sizes, small, and these 3/8"-16 thread size x 1 1/2" long

so after hours and hours of cleaning, wire wheeling, and media blasting the originals, I decided to paint them with my wallet

thank you Batman!

**Gregski** · 07-19-2022, 09:39 PM

whoa, out the door it ended up being $38 bones, shoot I assumed free shipping, AMAZON strikes again!!!

holler at me if you need one I'll sent it to you for FREE you just pay the shipping

SRU1436 · 07-20-2022, 12:09 AM

You’re making great progress. I thought you were joking about the bracket you cobbled together for the electric power steering, but once you mounted it then I realized it was legit.
