Update: Took down light bar. Cleaned the lights and spray painted the bar a little to get rid of some rust.

Today: Well found out yest that the PO screwed up all the vac lines... he had lines going to all the wrong places.. for one.. he had the 4wd vac line hooked up to the CTO valve. Well the whole day I fixed all the lines and put them into the right ports.

Later I decided to finish the day off by nuttering the heep. soldered the wires.. first time soldering.. pretty easy.. hooked up everything, got in, and tried to start it... wouldn't turn over.. got mad, looked over all the lines and found out I forgot to connect 2 plugs. Plugged them in and BAM.. started. Im so happy with the nutter. Before nuttering while starting... it would just crank, crank, crank, crank, and crank, then turn over.. now I turn the key.. automatically starts...no more cranking.. haha... and when I used to turn it off... it would diesel.. no turns off with no dieseling... I LOVE THE NUTTER BYPASS.

Very Very Very Very big thanks to ElvisV04290 for helping me identify all the vac lines and to find out where they went.

O and by the way.. HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Sounds like a big red tractor. That rear bumper is about the biggest I've seen.

I can't believe nobody asked about the tail lights.

They're pretty cool looking. Unique for sure.
