dagwoodzz Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 87 turn signal wiring Mines a good bit older than yours. '87 I do not know if it is the same for 93. A while back you were talking about bending you 4wd shifter. Was that you or am i confused w/ someone else. How did it turn out? Got pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 yep, bent it straight, cut the shifter, added 2" then tig welded the 3 pieces back together. fits perfectly, almost back to stock size/throw. i have another one that i will be modding and putting up for sale that came with my replacement tcase i had bought. thanks for the info, hopefully i'll be able to post some pictures up of the bumper and stuff tomorrow.

Derrik Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I went to my local trailer store (Allied trailer in Sacramento) and paid $25 for the wiring harness adapter specific to my '91. It connects right up to the harness in the Driver's side compartment at the tailgate. I did this because the harness requires some electronic thingamabob (Really, I have a Bachelor's degree in aircraft electronics; cum laude even, this is an industry term) to convert the signal to the standard 4-wire trailer config.

Mr. Pickles Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 If you end up with problems or no time to do it, check around for a shop. I had my hitch installed at a local place (Tork Lift in Kent, WA) and they charged something like $30-40 to do the wiring, wire/plug/labor included. Good enough for me not to monkey with it.

You electronics guys are all alike with your sloppy slang. The proper technical term is "doo-hickey". Quit "dumbing" down the techno-jargon around here, K?

Derrik Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The proper technical term is "doo-hickey". You might be right. AC43.13 clearly states, thingamabobs are only component-level devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
