P1000m5 Moparornocar's Long Overdue Build Thread

[moparornocar]

1st step, drill holes for indicator lights. Used an existing hole I drilled some time ago for the signal switch. Just used a standard on off on switch.

We got blinky blinky! Well, sort of. I bought a HD flasher and apparently the LED bulbs don't draw enough to activate the flasher. Back to the parts store and I gotta order the converter for the rears.

The clearance lights are wired in with the headlights. The signals work regardless off key position.

Thanks guys! The truck will make about anything look small lol. The running lights were pretty simple, I still need to do the clearance lights on the rear

Thanks to @Plumber32 for the hook-up on a 2 piece windshield to chop up. Now I may be able to ride without 47 layers of clothing.

I hope you took pics of how you cut it up.

I didn't. Sorry, it was like 20° in the shop. I had to cut the top lip off plus a couple inches then round the corners off. Test fit it about 200 times. The top doesn't have any clamps, it's just friction fit. And very tightly at that. I also did away with the tilt function because I'll be running my half shield in the summer.

For wiring running front to back, use flexible conduit and run it along stock main harness. It's out of the way and totally safe. I ran 4 or 5 extra wires through and tied them off. For future projects. There's a break under the seat for wiring stuff in that area. I like it.

I've seriously considered doing that as well. All the wiring inside my conduit would have to come out. Pretty much impossible to snake a single wire through it like it is. I got tired of seeing wire running along my rops.

I'm tired of opening my hood to what appears to be a crackhead stereo wiring job.
