95 S-10 Truggy Build

93 Krawler · 09-05-2019, 10:26 AM

After putting the new windshield in, it was time to finish the front exo. I didn't want to add the bar that most people run across the cowl above the wipers that supports the roof, so I went a different route.
I ran a tube under the hood from fender to fender that supports the the fender exo and the roof support. Just has to notch the fender and hood a bit. Also ties the cross bar to the shock hoop cross bar.
I used tube bungs so I could remove it if I need to. I am still able to remove the fenders and grill with the exo in place.

Here is the almost finished product. I still have to make tube doors, install lights, and a skid plate.

Tried the new rig out at Slade. It did great and no major issues. I made a mistake in thinking all pcm's will utilize the 4 low shift tables. Just because they are showing in the tune, doesn't mean the pcm reads them. So when I switched rigs, I did away with the drive by wire and went to drive by cable. My old pcm would not work, so I used one from a 2003 Express van. After spending $100 on HP tuners credits, I found out that it wouldn't shift in low range. So now I have to find a 4x4 pcm that had drive by cable and spend another $100 in credits. Live and learn I guess...

Didn't take long to knock the new off of it.

Thanks. No, still have a few things to add before I get it weighed.
