Project MULE - Expedition build on a 1991 1500 4x4 Suburban

Recommended Posts

My winnings from the GMC4x4 raffle.

Samlex 1000W modified sine wave power inverter with remote switch panel. This was the exact model and panel I had planned on from the beginning.

It's been a little while so I thought I would post up the work I did over the weekend. I finally got the lights mounted and wired on the roof rack. I had to make room for the upcoming 48" bar so I moved the 21" Hawks to the sides as side lights. I also add some tabs on the back for some backup lights and mounted up a pair of LED brake lights.

 

Some of these were taken on "the fly" with instagram so that's the reason for the different looks in some.

I picked mine up through B&H Photo. But just search for DJI Phantom. You will still need your own camera though. Not included with the Drone.

It's like Chevy knew one day I would want to drill a 1.25" hole in the firewall and therefore gave me this.

a 1.5" diameter formed hole from factory with a pre-punched center. This is all part of the massive wiring job I am slowly trying to get around to.

I had picked up the Daystar Firewall boot.

I grabbed my Stepping drill bit that goes just upto 1.25". I first made a very small pilot hole and went back underneath to make sure that was the correct spot. It was. Aside from some insulation on the inside I didn't have to move anything out of the way.

 

The crescent shape is visible on the inside and the arrow points to the punched centered hole. This shot is near vertical.

Drilled from the outside and cleaned up the edges. I took some 100% clear silicone and applied it to the seal area where the body panel goes. to make sure it seals good. I then pulled it thru from inside to out. Done!waytogo.gif

fixed the embed for you. our little auto-embed plugin is picky, it likes the full youtube.com urls but didn't like the httpS - i'll get around to fixing it eventually ;)
