I need help with these things.
* install dual battery kit
* re wire winch to aux battery
* Install switches and wire 6 roof rack lights, 4 front, 2 rear. I have all the harneses and tools and supplies, just not confident on drilling the roof alone.
* Mount train horn in rear behind axle(probably requires welding) and tap it into the #2 horn plug.
*Install Marlin crawler(yeah I wish this one).
I have next weekend free. I will help you work on your stuff in exchange as well as Refreshments or whatever you may need..

I can help you with everything except the horns...I can't weld worth a shit but not next weekend..I'll be out of town. The following weekend is the get together and then Sunday is Easter. The following weekend I am open?

 

[FunJunkie]

Right on, I will try to plan it then. Yeah the horns are gonna be a bitch I think.

What needs to be welded to install the train horns?

 

[FunJunkie]

Any sort of bracket that I can mount them to, I dont want to just use metal screws or something cheap like that because I run my rig pretty hard sometimes and I dont want things falling off. It basicly needs to be about a 1 inch wide peice of steel about 8 inches long with a couble bolt studs sticking off it to mount the horn bracket to.

what horn setup did you get?

 

[FunJunkie]

I bought the wolo chrome 3 horn set from MIKESCRUISER a while back and since I redid my front end there isn't room to mount it the way he had em.

So do you want to run the wires through a fitting like I did mine or do you have something else in mind?

Pic of the fitting...

 

[FunJunkie]

do they make those in white PVC?? I want to do it like that but I think the pvc will look less conspictious. or not but yeah I want to do that. BTW, what do you do if you want to add more wires later on? I assume you've siliconed the inside?

 

[FJVP]

No silicone....It has a chemical in it that will eat away at the wire jacket. I use polyurathane sealant. Some use butyl rubber. I bought a white pvc fitting but did not like the way it fit. If I want to add more wire down the road, I will just poke a hole thru the sealant, its plyable like rubber.
