Finally fixed the brake light switch I was having. My guess is that a previous owner replaced the brake booster with one that wasn't meant for this vehicle. Didn't allow the switch to activate, so I modified it with a bit of string and a spring to function properly now.

Also installed the mirror I mentioned above, adjusted my front suspension and did some minor electrical work. Good day.

Put some new Monroe sensa trac shocks on the front of my truck yesterday to fix the old noisy ones. I think the old ones were KYB shocks, but these new Monroe ones seem to ride better anyways. I think the driver's side shock was worn out anyways because when I compressed it it really didn't have allot of return and wasn't as hard to compress as the passenger side one.

New wipers, finally. Got the old arms rubber-coated. Put on a few things here and there. Trying to get my windshield fluid pump working. Seemed to get voltage at the connector, so I think the pumps I've tried are burned out.

Also attempting to do some decal work with stencils and plastidip. We'll see how that turns out. Planning on doing some electrical work soon too. Installing a small amp for the PA system bolted to my brushguard and installing a few indicator lights for when 4x4 is on.

Oh, and being a programmer, I recently purchased a cellular module to use with a microcontroller. By the end of the year I should have a homemade GPS locator, OBDII scanner and remote start/kill installed on my truck.

Wow !!! You have been busy Prometheus2508
You should start a couple of threads on your different projects or even one thread on all your projects.
As a rule, members aren't suppose to respond to post on this thread creating discussions. But if you had your own thread we could ask questions and give feed back. Just a thought.
