Well I got all the switches from OTRATTW just found these guys and having top quality rockers with the labeling on the switches is tops! Also had to get an Aluminum blank to cut this thing out of. Here's all the switches laying on the aluminum.

Here http://www.otrattw.com/ is a link to their site. I think $10-12 each.

Well since I built the cargo rack I decided I wanted a cover aka" trunk lid", so when a had a few minutes of free time I got started. Here's a few pics. 16ga sheet metal and 3/4" TS. I'm adding a hinge on the front side and lockable latches on the rear of each side.
Here it is as cut and bent.

Added some tube steel for strength.

I finished the switch panel up, now I just need to wire in all of them, oh man that's going to be a lot of work.

DFryou22 · « **Reply #44 on:** Feb 13, 2011, 07:39:52 PM »

do u have lockers on this truck

R.DesJardin · « **Reply #45 on:** Feb 13, 2011, 08:05:31 PM »

Seriously, do I have lockers? Well of course I do what would be the point of a 4x4 if I didn't have lockers.

Why do you ask?

DFryou22 · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 13, 2011, 08:17:53 PM »

sorry for the stupid question but, i was just wondering what kind of lockers since u dont have the arb locker switch or compressor switch. also what gears.

R.DesJardin · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 13, 2011, 09:03:44 PM »

No sweat, Detroit in the back and a Spartan in the front, 4.88's wish I had 5.29's and then the speedo would read right I think. I'm about 5 off right now and I could run down the road a little better when I need too, which isn't very often.

DFryou22 · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 14, 2011, 11:02:52 AM »

O ok do u like ur locker setup? because I am tryin to figure out wat kind of lockers to put in. I want to put arb both but they are expensive.

R.DesJardin · « **Reply #49 on:** Feb 14, 2011, 06:59:33 PM »

ARB's are a great setup, Detroits are sweet, and the Spartan get's me by. When I grow up I think I want an ARB for the front. I don't DD my Toy and having both axles with automatic lockers works great for me.

DFryou22 · « **Reply #50 on:** Feb 14, 2011, 09:40:18 PM »

O ok, for me I want to dd it so I think arb would be best but thet are way to expensive.

Did a simple steering stop reinforcement by putting 7/8" long 1" diameter rod in the stops and then welding the tops. Replaced my old Baja shifter with the soon to be new model Baja II. Added a new fuse panel and did some wiring. Added a Holley fuel pressure regulator and a gauge.

R.DesJardin · « **Reply #52 on:** Jun 01, 2011, 09:24:16 PM »

So I've been busy but in my spare time the little that there is I've been doing some needed updates. Hi steer, RUF's and shocks, added some lights for some night wheelin', floor light. Cool new pimpin' stickers. Pics of the rear cargo hatch and all it holds.
Did mods to the double cardan joint to get more travel before binding, went from 20 to 30 degrees angle.
