Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
though I don't like how far it sticks out, I don't have a back seat to steer from

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
You must not be wearing a mask when you paint 😂 You dropped off a bumper for me on your way back from visiting your kid in San Jose.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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! |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
thanks, yeah it's a bit too fugly for even Good Enuff Garage standards so I plan on massaging it a bit, but it has to look that wonkey in ordrer to clear everything down there - and honestly can you tell me what your standard power steering pump bracket looks like, lol probably not right off hand as it is buried in there as well

so what do you all call this contraption? A. parking brake 2. emergency brake or C. what is it? |
