HID Conversion Project
A little something special waiting under the light mounts
(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag15/jferdon/Modification%20Projects/C1970888-0579-4058-B014-A8335180FB02.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/jferdon/media/Modification%20Projects/C1970888-0579-4058-B014-A8335180FB02.jpg.html)
The main power supply connector you must disconnect first
(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag15/jferdon/Modification%20Projects/C86B63CC-32CA-481D-9EED-1ADC082DC8F8_1.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/jferdon/media/Modification%20Projects/C86B63CC-32CA-481D-9EED-1ADC082DC8F8_1.jpg.html)
This grey support bar must be removed due to the size of the HID light backend. I plan on modifying it later so I can reinstall it without the lights hitting it.
(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag15/jferdon/Modification%20Projects/6FBDAE85-30B0-4374-87AF-23C5FCF873AC_1.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/jferdon/media/Modification%20Projects/6FBDAE85-30B0-4374-87AF-23C5FCF873AC_1.jpg.html)
New HID bulbs installed and connected to the power loom. The other connections go to the ballast boxes.

Ballast boxes mounted to wet box. Take your time and be careful here and you won't have any problem opening the lid later.

The Australians couldn't keep it simple. Also they like to "weld" their bolts. Murphy really messed with us on this part.

She needs a bath and then I'll shoot a couple and get them up. I am definitely ready for Gold Mountain and others now. :)
I head back to ORW to pickup a tire repair kit and get the 500 mile re-torque inspection done later this week.

Oooo I smell a plan developing... no... wait, that's the dog... but still! I think we may have to go play. ;)
-
So you in ;D If you want. Current plan (Albeit as spontaneous as it is) I'm going to meet my daughter in BB 0900-0930 Friday and I plan to be done by 1400 worst case. My number (seven one four) two seven one - three five seven one. From what I see you are equipped this time. We will not leave any parts behind ;)

Pics are up from the install of the PRG Kit.

Nice job on the lift John. Congrats!

Thanks all.
For my latest trick, I mounted the bracket for my 5 pound dry chem extinguisher in the cargo bay. Not much of a "mod", for now, but hey, I have one now.
Picture above.

;D Great addition John

Terry, I'm going all LED on the interior, converting my (useless) off road lights to HID to make them like the landing lights on the 737 I fly (actually useful at night), my front AND rear shrocks are in production (May delivery :/ ), already called ORW about getting the rig in when the Shrocks are delivered to them, upgrading the springs in front to 650's.
Now I just need to bug Danny about winch systems and a couple other minor things. ;)
-
Fantastic!!! That is going to look and work great. What color on the Shrocks?
-

Black semi-gloss powder coat. It will go with my super black. I "hope" I can receive them and get them installed to maybe make Moab this year for at least a day or two.
-
That would be great..

Updated initial post to include pics of LED and HID conversions.

Look what I just got in the mail... :)

Updated to show new awning install and hyperlinks to various products installed.

Hey, ur rig is coming up nicely. Did you ever get that Midland CB put in?
-
Looking good!
-
I have the CB and antenna. I was holding off on the install of the CB until I got my rear shrock in May. I want to run some nice antenna wires for both ham and cb back there. :)
-
Looking good!
Thanks Nick!
-
- Installed Midland CB with Bandit RF filter and "Little Wil" antenna.
- Installed Highlift Jack with Neoprene Cover and Nisstec Lotus Slider Adapter on Highlift Tube mounts (during Mojave Road run... thanks Terry!) (with functional test... :P )
-
- Removed and jettisoned defective Midland CB. Installed new Uniden 520XL unit and external speaker.
-
Just an fyi about the fire extiguisher, Might want to look into a halon or co2 extinguisher instead of dry chem, dry chem is very corrosive and expensive to clean up because its hazmat, even if your vehicle doesn't burn to the ground, its totaled in the insurance companies eyes. Halon is similar to co2 but doesn't displace oxygen like co2 so you don't go night night if it happens to rupture in your vehicle. They are less effective on class A fires(stuff that leaves an ash) but will work.

-sniffs- It's so beautiful. My X finally has a great front and rear bumper. :) Pics in first post. :)

JF, can you post up some details/link regarding the LED awning light? Does it roll up with the awning or separately?
Thanks in advance!

from what i saw john its mounted on the inside of the aluminum part thats mounted to the roof rack, in the area where the 2 horizontal poles get stored. i think its a standard option on the ironman awnings but could easily be added to the arb if you could find an led strip that has double sided tape on the back and a cig lighter adapter.
