hell no I got 1000 of them for 4.99 At least its not electrical tape.


I'm digging the brace for the filter, this has been a great build to watch. Thanks for keeping up with it, it's really coming out great. :thumbup:

 

[Larrythedog]

Yea, as you can see Im starting my rough in wiring. I still have alot of wiring to do. The loom is a bit exposed now until i can start this pig. Once i know its going to run I'll sanitize the wiring loom.

Wiring on the dash and such

 

[silverslk]

Nice to see some more updates from you!!! Looks clean.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

very nice work, everything wiring related is really starting to look organized. Do mine next?

 

[DieselSJ]

Very nice work on the wiring. I like your "buss bar" on your terminal strips. Was that something you bought or fabbed? That really looks good.

 

[Larrythedog]

The terminal strips I bought at Home Depot. Nothing fancy. I made the buss strip. Just bought some 1" X .125" copper stripes from McMaster carr, then machined them up.

I'm stealing that idea from you. Thanks.

Thanks for those kind words. I worked a bit with the PPI group back when Ivan was running Yokohama tires. Great group of people.

Fuel system

Fuel Filler

 

[silverslk]

I always smle at your updates!!! I'm gonna be sad when this build ends (even though we get to watch you race!!!).

 

[JEEP_cannible]

I hear that,but racing,and watching is the best part of a build like this.Hell yea !!!!!

Couple of questions:
Why the internal fuel pumps? Not knocking it,(actually like the install,..)but won't that make it hard to service the pumps?

Do you have some kind of splash guard or seal between the filler neck and the window cover panel? If not, you might want to consider at least a foam or rubber gasket. Any Fuel spilling out of a fill can or coming back out of the fill neck from an over-fill is going to spill right down inside the truck.

Not sure if there's anything you can do about it, or if it's even an issue, but the closed off window panel makes it hard for the fuel man to see when the gas starts filling up in the filler neck. He won't know when the tank's full.

These pumps are readily available and are only $80. I’m running two so I’m hoping that I won’t have to work on them all the time. But your right it would have been easier to work on a exterior mounted pump. My thinking is if I lose two pump in one race then I’ve got bigger problems with the system to resolve. I will be fabing a compleate back up unit with two pumps.

Man your right I need to seal this up. I was trying to keep the door operational. Thanks for the heads up.

The filler was placed as far back in the rear door window i could. You do have a view of the filler tube standing just to the right of the filler. Not the greatest view. I'll just have to use a two man fuel team.

Thanks for taking the time to critic my build. I do appreciate honest and constructive feed back like this. Its how we learn and excel.
