Good Stuff, that feeling when a plan works, it's great!

after dropping a link on my head, then hurting my wrist from punching the wall (it was laughing at me).... the only feeling I have is a headache.... I'm not a fan of fixing stuff

[SuperBuickGuy]

Finally went wheeling with the repair/new stuff.
Foremost, there is no bad day when you're out wheeling with you friends.
it did get cut short because I had trouble with both the EFI and then at the end transmission... Since this isn't pirate, the build is honest and not perfect.

made the hour plus drive to the trailhead without problems

then this

2 electricians and a computer systems guy... what did we do? reboot by turning the system on and off
turns out that what I should have done there is turn up the idle screw.... the IAC was overwhelmed - thus it was running like crap HOWEVER, at this point front right injector was on full bore.... I think the reboot did get the injector to behave, but the close way out from here is a 2 mile very steep downhill - and once you're committed there is no tap out.... no motor means no brakes, so we saved that battle for another day.
The other issue that I haven't diagnosed yet is a howling when going into 2nd from either direction (and only 2nd). It doesn't do it all the time, but the clutch isn't fully disengaging when warm so that solution may fix this...

to be continued.

Hmm, your LED lights look exactly like the ones I've got, which also leak. Considering how much I payed I'm not overly worried.

[SuperBuickGuy]

The injectors arrived yesterday, and I am painting stuff so I figured I'd add these half doors to the pile of stuff to do
welded braces inside

then finishing the body work... not perfect but adequate....

[SuperBuickGuy]

so I didn't feel like working on Covet19 tonight.... so I did these.... explanation tomorrow

I like these mounts just fine but in LSR we are specifically prohibited from using hose clamps to restrain any bottles. No clue on the history behind that but I'll wager someone got hit with a fire bottle or some such during an "incident" and they banned it. As a practical matter I'm sure what you have will be more than adequate.

how would you restrain them? everything uses clamps...
