'85 Ranger Restomod

Ran the wire into the cab for the fan ground, I need a functional electrical system to wire in the light up switch so still stuck on that.

I love my Smittybilt winch but the mounting bracket for the controller is a complete POS. This is how it is when I look down.



The front has come unhooked from the tie rod and the stupid little screws that are supposed to be below the upper rear tie rod are on the top. I remove the license plate and easily pop everything into place by hand with no tools. Pop it out of place and back in again easily.

Picture from the manual if anyone is having any questions what I am talking about.

Tried the modern handyman's secret weapon... zipties. No difference.



So I decided to just make a plate and mount it to the license plate bracket holes in the front bumper behind the winch.

I wish I had your wiring skills. Looks like you are making progress on getting the wiring back together. I like how well the directions are when adding things on, seems like it should go well and never does. A little at a time and you will get it there. Looking good.

"back up three times and punt" seems to be my slogan...

Got a thing this morning they are going to resend the fuse panel and connectors for the efan relays but I have to reorder the connectors for the fuse panel.

EDIT: They are refunding everything so no parts until middle of next week at the earliest now.
