There’s a thread for that , everyone starts working a week or two before to get ready you’ve got roughly a year before you need to start working on it . Lol.

Yeah, it sounds great on paper!
I am not that optimistic!
First and foremost. I am going to do some events with my car first. Then the Moab thing.
I will definitely try to get back to my truck. Having a legitimate purpose won't hurt!
You could safely do 75% or more of the trails in Moab with a truck like that.
Yup! And I wouldn't worry about a winch when there's so many others around, it's faster to get a tug with a strap.

I already have the front winch and the mounting plate is already on the truck.
I had it mounted once, but pulled it off for use on my 93.

As the rear winch goes. It's just a want. Got to have one to match those daylighters up top.

Enough about a truck I obviously don't care about.
Back to velle stuff.
Spent some time cleaning up wiring and bolting some wires down. Got the main harness to a servicable position. This is not a show car. I wanted to be able to get to the relays easily if needed.
Then I started to wire the line lock.
Just a couple wires with some loom and some clips. Simple.

Clean wiring makes all the difference.

I hate wiring!
I love it!

I hate how long it takes to do a good job.
I an trying to take my time, slow down and do a good job.
I love clean wires. I don't necessarily care if things are super hidden. Cars are machines. Machines have parts and components on then. I see no reason to have to hide everything.
I do like the high end show cars that you can't see everything. But generally speaking I don't mind seeing wires, plumbing, etc as long as it's done well.

Hurst shows the direction to wire the line lock as wiring the POS wire to the switch.
I started wiring it last night and got just about done before I opened the directions.
(This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me)
I was going to wire it negative to the switch.
Just I just got in the habit of that.
Any reason why I shouldn't do that?

Yes I like to see it all, just cleanly routed and not a hack job laying all over. I do not have time for anything anymore the way I want it. Between 4 kids and work with overtime and farming my fixing stuff has really took a hit. Shit it took me months to just fit in an hour and a half of work on my blazer. My fix-it list is a mile long and constantly being added to. I have a bale wagon that just got put on it now the other day.

Sell some of them kids?
Looks like they are just doing it that way since it's the most common practice for most people and they are tying in an indicator light also. Either way would work the same. I'm assuming it doesn't pull enough power to warrant a relay just a good quality switch.
We have been farming the oldest out mowing lawns but he just keeps spending the money buying his own stuff. I should get him going on a project vehicle fund, he's only got like 5 more yrs til he can drive.

I also wondered about a relay. That's how I actually got to looking at the directions.
I have a few relays kicking about and I almost wired one in.

He can't have that blazer?
I have a feeling my time will be cut back after our second kid. But I have been making the adjustments now. I work in the evening after my kid goes to bed. And early mornings on Saturday and Sunday before "the house" is up.
I don't think they pull much power. I remember looking it up once since I don't have a parking brake on my K5 with the rear discs I was going to do a line lock on the front circuit and one for the rear also to use for a parking brake when needed since it's an auto. I think my better option for that is to do the ORD manual valve kit for the dash on the rear and a line lock on the front circuit.
