Yes, most of the videos that I on YT are DIY projects that I am planning to do. Seeing it is better compared to do reading the step by step procedures online.
Not a big mod by any stretch, but here's the latest. A little bling for the grille. Since its cast metal and chrome, it nets you 30HP on a Frontier or 50HP on a clapped-out 1991 Civic with lowering springs, cambered wheels and a fart-cannon exhaust.
Other than the local news with morning coffee I don't purposely watch TV, everything is pure garbage mind poison and propaganda BS..
All I watch now is YT vids, or a movie on Solarmovie before bed. Instagram...gone.... Twitter...gone... almost all of them. The only social platform left is Fbook, Discord, and few sites of interest like this.
An experiment that turned out to be way more involved than I had initially anticipated. I had the bright idea that since the Firestone RideRite airbags have a very limited internal volume, and so therefor the pressure will vary widely while driving, creating a pogo-ing effect, what if I added snubber / accumulator tanks to the circuits and added at the same time, an option to run the circuits in parallel, or tied together as a pool. So I built the system using Firestone 0.5 gallon pressure vessels and then found out my measuring skills didn't come out to the task and I had to change the plans on where the whole assembly was going to reside. So I mounted it vertically on the passenger's side; between my big steel toolbox and the rear cab wall, and then found out the complex ballet of pipe fittings I constructed to tie everything together, wasn't airtite even after going back and retightening everything once. So I stripped it down to minimum and installed pipe plugs temporarily where the cross-over manifold used to be, until the weather improves and I can have another go at it. Just proves the theory / concept of the age-old "mice n men" thing.
Installed a new Scoshe by Nexar traffic dash cam, just because, it'll come in handy for having another video loop when I finally get to go off-roading again, and also heavens forbid in the event of a traffic incident, it can provide critical video evidence for Court review.
When your Group 24F battery just doesn't have the juice to make it happen, whatcha gonna do? SuperSize Me !!! of course. Unleash the Beast !!! Group 31 battery installation, the biggest baddest son-of-a-gun that'll fit the factory hole.
More electrical items means more electrical distribution systems and fuses. Now I have 12 extra subcircuits available, 6 HaT and 6 ignition switched. Rear bed power outlet set, both USB and 12v are now on here, as well as Yaesu FT8900r HAM radio on both HaT and ignition switched with a two-poled operation selector, and powered rear window project will be next.
Parts I & II were the installation of the Yaesu radio chassis itself, and just had a cigar lighter plug hooked to the harness. So decided to get creative when it came time to hardwire, now with a DPDT ON_OFF_ON rocker switch to select no power at all, ignition switched power or hot at all times / direct battery. Worked out quite nice if I say so myself.
