What did you do to your other vehicle

[mabupa]

Many of these new cars have nothing to attach to, the European cars have detachable pull points at least.

Be careful pulling anyone out as if you scratch or damage them in anyway, you are on the hook-good samaritans get sued all the time.

That was exactly the problem. No way to pull it backward and only place to hook up was that detachable pin up front. Some guy that was there wanted me to spot my truck to pull the car sideways and spin it around on the spot. I said no way! I’m not putting side load on that tiny hook or it’ll snap and ruin my truck or fly in through my back window and hurt me. In the end, I did it my way, went really slow and all went well. It did make me think exactly about what you are describing, as far as, liability and also made me think about the gentleman in the stuck super duty that recently lost his life when the hitch ball on the truck that was trying to pull him out of the mud snapped and killed him in front of his family.

Prepared my wifes car for the winter with a proper polish and ceramic coating. Doing my winter ride (the white one in the background) next week.
The Busa is parked for the season as winter is bearing and the roads have started to get a bit icy in the morning..

Stopped by the Harley store for an oil filter and couple quarts of oil for my 2001 Sporty.

She's running a 1250 kit with Sledge porting and big valve's, 575 cams, bigger Carb, Patriot 2-1 exhaust and chain drive. Installed the Sport Gear in the trans along with a Big Twin 17" spoke rear wheel and 5 degree cup on neck for more rake. It's a different ride and gets up and moves for a Sportster. Runs 12 flat in the 1/4 and that's with Forward Controls and my 250 lb butt lol.

Rebuilt my forks today and stripped and polished the lower fork tubes. Used upgraded springs and new valveing from ProAction

So today started out crappy, still is but I’ll get to that. The temp was in the high 40s so perfect to ride to work. I go out load up bike and then I noticed, wood fell off my rack and dented the front fender. Grrrr. So I rode anyway, as for what I did, when I got home my new daymaker headlight arrived to replace my old one that was hazing over. Still need to put chrome ring back on but that’s tomorrow

Holy crap, that must have been some hit....

My next door neighbor(at my last house)for 7 years is a paintless dent guy for over 20 years.
I've watched him do some incredible things.
It would be worth asking.

Black Sharpie...done

....or a band-aid decal...

I've seen those on car damage before.

I looked at it again, I see the paint now.

I know where there's a light brownish Nissan Frontier 4x4, with one large dent in the bed behind the passenger side rear wheel.
The dent is an upright oval shape, that takes up most all of the space between the fender and tail light, and from top to bottom of the bed.
Perfectly sized in the center of the dent is a big face planted Wile E. Coyote sticker
lmao!

Continuing on in the adventures of medical transport.

These vans are pre standard back up camera era.

And in tight pick up areas it's hard to know where you have to precisely be for an unencumbered pick up. And there is 4 acres behind you, you can't see. So to add safety and reduce driver stress, I decided to install 2 cameras. Rear and ramp side views.

Further the van was upfitted with a swing door entry on the front passenger side. The mechanical arm made most of the lower dash useless. Charging ports were unusable. Bottom half of factory stereo was untouchable.

Additionally the floors are bolted down reinforced track systems used for the anchor tracks. Covered in rubber. The ceilings have been cut off and fitted with what we call the turtle shells. Gives us stand up height. But no headliner.

Installers wanted stupid amounts of $$ to do it and were weeks out. Honestly they really don't want custom jobs. They make their money on the cookie cutter stuff.

So what I thought would be pretty straightforward ended up being 4 days long. Had to remove the swing mechanism. Which was mounted to the structural frame behind the dash. Tear apart most of the front dash for that. The rest to get to the factory head unit.

Relocated the head unit to a factory spot used for lights and siren switches if this vehicle would have been configured as an ambulance. Had to make that hole fit my head unit.

Add length to wiring harness.

Made a custom panel for charging ports, power ports and phone inputs that run to the head unit to incorporate all the phone functions into head unit.

No way to run wiring under floor nor over headliner for the cameras.

And the loop it came with was 20' long. I needed 27'.

So I found and installed wireless video signal transmitters. Ran power under the vehicle along the frame.

Got it all working. Looks like a million $$.

Fun 4 days.

I'm getting too old for this chyt.

Nobody has any excuses to bitch about tight loading areas now!!

 

[SSGT_B]

Started working on extra running lights. Mounted them off the side of the caliper.

They are dual color, white or yellow. Got them mounted but waiting for a switch panel to finish the wiring.

 

[sixpack577]

Cool
Waiting on your review of those, and how well they light your turns.
Some pics too please
