Dave rebuild

Tbh i dont know what parts to go for the best ones of course lol

I was having trouble finding the wiring the the heated rear screen so i thought ill just retro fit the voltage sensitive switch and use the old loom for fuses etc.

then thought its pretty useless having a heated screen if u have to manual get out the cab and wipe the rear screen so u can see soo,,,thats where i come from to retro fit the rear wiper lol phew

Just finished reading through this and i now have a list of upgrades i want to do and i aint even bought a motor yet! This Landy modding and upgrading is infectious, anyway great looking truck you got there and some excellent work going on.

well been awhile since ive updated it. busy annoyed money work etc etc

first question i need to wire up my rear heated screen for some reason the new wiring loom hasnt got the yellow voltage sensitive switch so what can i do instead i have a black/slate wire without a home, can i just wire a 12v live?? plug in question

i got a few wires without homes if any of you could shed some light on the matter would be great

pretty sure the multi plug was spare on my old wiring loom,, soo went to investigate and it ends up as a blade in the engine bay yellow/black??? again clueless

next question this inline fuse whats it for and what size fuse should go in there??

bit off a mess in this pic did tidy it all up. i have 6 wires to go to the key barrel ive lift out the white orange which is for the stereo (cant remember the name)

right in that pic ^^^^^
the big multi plug for the dash near the stearing wheel. ive put in the double white wire from the heated screen, by the double white and double purple? again what do they do haha alot of questions today

this pic is full of wires and cabled from axle breathers to fuel lines to reverse switch etc in the progress of tidying them all up with zip ties

Cant wait now to finsh and drive it around list can only get smaller lol

Hi dave
did you replace the whole wiring loom ?

Thinking this will be best on mine as it looks like it has been bodged over the year connectors everwhere
and so many dead wires that do sod all

yer all the wiring loom has been changed,, i had metled wire on the lighting circuit so had to be done really, also i had years of bodging on the trailer socket, joined wires in the engine bay so thought it needed to be done and i know its right now

Ouch!, but its on my wish list also. would be nice to be able to fit the dash tray back without fear of not getting access to extinguish the upcoming 4th fire in the loom.
Are you keeping a running total of costs?
Good build btw.
