Ryoken's 89 Crew Cab Tubebed build... aka Mutt....

[deadman]

looks nice….looking forward to seeing how the lights work with the sequencer

 

[ryoken]

I'll try to get a better one tonight.... I'll probably put an adjustable flasher in so I can slow it down just a tad...

Mutt back on duty...

so far everything seems to be working pretty flawless... runs great.... pulled into the marina, and soon had a circle of people around it...

I think it'll drop another inch or so in the back with full weight, and end up sitting perfect... I do want to change out the cheapie shocks all around for some sized Bilsteins at some point over the next couple months...


also.... help an oldschool idjit... what's gonna be my easiest method to dial in an accurate speedo... cuz I'm way off now with the 37's... don't think my cheapie GPS has speed... really don't want to change gears, etc on a drivetrain that's gonna get swapped anyway.. was more looking for an add-on electrical gizmo....




































oh, forgot.. Prius view.......

Isn't there an adjustable unit you can put in line of the cable? Rrrrr sensor.

 

[ryoken]

ya run an adjustable flasher.... i'll add it over the next couple weeks, no big...

 

[Slapperbar]

I think Superlift made an adjustable DRAC, they can be made too.

FOUND IT!

Whoops, it's Eagle Marks.
Injection section should have the instructions.

Looks good man.

Does seem like it flashes a bit fast.

 

[chevyfumes]

I think it looks just about right.. Awesome Paul..

 

[ryoken]

thanks guys...


just gave the mallard a bath....



it's sooooooooo over the top.. just about every single human you come across from drivers, to targe, ummmm, pedestrians, is just staring at it doing it's Mutt'ly thing....... literally, slack-jawed..


it's weird.. I keep trying to tell myself, just get it drivable... just a bit more work.... that'd be awesome and keep me content...










fug all that... I want it DONE!

now I'm even more revved to move on to the side door's, spare, etc... the brain pic is incomplete..

 

[Slapperbar]

If you have DRAC this'll work.

If you have a newer smart phone download Ulysses its free. VDO has one to. Having the 04 and 05 chevys with the sh!ts the bed dash cluster me and the wife both run them. The Ulysses even keeps track of distance, highest speed yada, yada.

unfortunately I'm a dinosaur.. I run a $10, pay by the minute, flip phone cuz of work...


I just remembered I don't have a lighter outlet in Mutt currently... need to put one in...

autometer has gps speedometers, a little pricey though

Im sure one from a marine application could work if you could get one cheaper

yeah, wow.. $425... plus it commit's me to probably doing something about the dash.... really should make another bezel like the K5's at some point...


anyway... rethinking a cheaper approach...

isn't the gear/cable in the 205 one of those kinda deals where you can just put a different colored/tooth gear in there to adjust it?

it's a fixed yoke 205... heck, i'll buy 3 or 4 gears to fine tune it.. they can't be THAT much dinero..



boy, my 465, and the 205 got some leaking/weeping going on...

maybe I'll be doing that 6BT/4500/205 setup sooner than I planned..

oh, forgot.. Prius view.......

That's funny right there. Looks killer Paul.

That's funny right there. Looks killer Paul.

thanks bud... I know you get it... just picturing it in my brain with the lightbar/spare and side/lower boxes done, drives me insane... I guess insane can be a good motivator... but I think the "end look" will be pretty sick for whatever the he!! you wanna call this tow/service monstrosity...

fug all that... I want it DONE!

now I'm even more revved to move on to the side door's, spare, etc... ..

the irony to this statement is that I have some big non-Mutt bills this month.. my daughter get's married in just over a month, so I probably wont be ordering the spare tire, spool gun and tank for 6 to 8 weeks....


patience Ryoken, patience.... breath...

 

[ryoken]

relooking at that vid, I definitely wanna slow that down some... it has "time" once it cycles, till it starts again.. it should go and soon after the last light triggers, it should start again soon.. too much of a delay right now...

plus, it'll make the "sequence affect" much more pronounced and effective...

 

[ryoken]

****, forgot the link... friggin bucket chunk...



http://s184.photobucket.com/user/ryoken-ovd/media/Mutt/100_1877_zpsdjjvdonz.mp4.html

without a doubt, I need to sloooooow it down a bit... it's reasonable, but would be waaaaaay better with a bit better tempo... soon..

burst brake is still in effect... but for now, deal with it.. need to pull the bezel and get at the indicator wires...






think I'll take a vid of the mallards first morning flight to the yard....

 

[ryoken]

the flasher button nearly imploded when I activated it...

had to ram a screwdriver in it to free it up..

guess a new AC Delco turn signal actuator is in order at some point...

Knight rider. That's all I got lol.

 

[Chief Brody]

Is Mutt a male or female....I am a bit moved by that rear end....
