if it is strong enough for a seat belt, then it can help out the "load bearing roof rack"!

My buddy Kevco Engineering has a very similar mezzanine setup on his bronco. That thing fucks pretty hard—I’ll likely build something similar for @FatJeff’s 4Skinner once he stops being a brokedick.

so, i have in my trans controller to shift up for me at what ever rpm i like.
i do about 5500 as the rpm will sling up past this pretty quick to the 6000 megasquirt limiter. it takes time to make the shift....
i have only tested it a little at the car gets pretty wild but bogs in the next gear. i am pretty sure it jumps all the way up to 6th gear and my delay of 2 seconds to recheck the auto shift up conditions is ignored.
but now, i can see when it is active and what gear it goes too!
left shows what gear the shifter is in and also 1-6 if in drive. so ( N R 1 2 3 4 5 6 )
top right only lights when the condition is present and prints the prescribed rpm for this is at
lower right is also when the condition is present and the TCC turns on, it will print

my list of hate so far
1 the electric power steering pump
it does work pretty good but does has a stiff resistance right off the center driveing position untill you get deep into the wheel turning and then it will power up and help. this is in limp mode and there are ways to canbus its ass into full kill. i fear it will not get rid of the initial shit feel though
2 the IAC tuning
i can get it pretty good in tuner studios but it will wonder after a while and get either hunting or try real hard to get another 100 rpm while i am on the brake at a stop light. i am cheating for now and going to run the throttle blade stop at engine temp and see if it can just pick up the cold start and in gear need. i welded a nut on the screw....

went over to Christmas valley last weekend for her first time out. she did great and the power steering is much better on sand than asphalt!
the first joy was that the 4500# girl stuffed in the trailer just fine and only sagged the double axles 1/2". i thought it would be more....
some of the other guys rigs. from mad max to a comp jeep buggy or what ever you guys call them
