Keyed the truck on and had nothing. tracked it down to fucking up wiring into the fuse box. I figured Id mess with it over at @the_fablab_ while he was working on the exhaust. Rolled the truck out of the garage.
UPS dropped off the Chilkat exhaust cross over pipe and I headed over flat towed it over to mikey's
After messing with the wiring until about midnight with Mikey. I came to the point that I knew I was over my head and out of time as we are trying to get this thing ready for Rubicon trip next Wednesday. I left the truck at the Fab Lab for the weekend to have Jesse who is a wiring wizard.
After fixing a the fuse panel situation and correcting a some of my wiring fuck ups (I had a few power wires that were grounded to the body) and a fresh mass air flow sensor. they got the truck started.
But would die something was up with the pinning in the ORS harness. They worked with ORS and got things sorted.
Yesterday I showed up to the shop and took the truck for a rip... andddd holyyyyyy shit... what a difference so stoked !
Flat towed it home. Checked Fluids and installed new coolant reservoir.
