P500 Need help with electrical plan

[futzin]

Power steering kit not playing well with RB3 steering rack.
Shaft knuckle narrowly misses brake reservoir (normal) but rubbing hard some brake gizmo.

I can maybe move the mounting plate 1/8", but it won't be enough.

Planning on this layout:

Battery to breaker to solenoid. If solenoid was next to fuse box a short jumper for positive would work.

We scooched the plate over as much as possible, put a cable tie on the brake gizmo thingy. It clears, but not by much.

curious on where you're going to put it on the dash...

Critter has the Crossroads phone holder, so I tried it.
A strong possibility.



Could also relocate the MT/AT switch and cover that hole and the Allen bolt head with the switch panel. Would look pretty good.

Looks good! I’m thinking I might try to mount mine left of the electronic display in that little trapezoid thing haha

Ok, been looking for a little while, hopefully find them on sale soon.

Installed mine, having worse clearance issues than prior installs. Might be due to the aftermarket steering rack. Or,

Can u check the short steering arm in the kit to see if it is symmetrical? It looks it, but I saw (afterwards) where someone mentioned the connections were different on each end...

Finished up the PS install, started on the winch install.

Got the remote plug and the rocker switch mounted and wired up.
Need to buy cable for the run from solenoid to battery, hopefully tomorrow.

 

[futzin]

Got the winch wired up and bench tested; all good.

Strongmade bumper with winch install next week. Then can move on to wiring up the Aux 8 and accessories.

Anyone ever use ferrule connectors? Saw a guy on TooYube using them on an Aux, looks like a good idea.

I used them when I installed my Aux 8. They work great and very easy to install.

I'm out at the ranch, probably won't be back until Friday the 23rd.

Back from the ranch a day early. Had some internet problems but Att. Is back on now. The short steering arm seem symmetrical. Each end is about 2 1/8" long. Only difference is the bolt is screwed in on opposite sides

 

[futzin]

Thanks!!

Got my 4ga cables to the solenoid squared away. Installed Strong Made front bumper and shackle mounts. Gotta get longer bolts to mount the winch, but it's ready.




Almost Aux Time . . .

I use them whenever you have that kind of connection. Stereo ect. You can get a kit with all different sizes and crimping tool off Amazon. Getting ready to install my Auxbeam and will use the ferrules.

Probably a dumb question but I’m gonna ask it anyway…
The ferrules obviously get crimped with the tool so am I right to assume they don’t get soldered at all?
