Eastcoastcam Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Tyler... Mount the control box for the winch as high as you can get it. Looks awesome! Feels good to actually be doing some mods for a change, rather than maintenance and repairs, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKWhoo! Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I got a winch bag coming for it, but maybe I can find a way to mount it higher up on the grill. Have to see how long the wires are. And it feels damned good to actually be doing some mods for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm on my 3rd replacement horn in 2 years, so it was time to do something different this time :) My mistake with previous horns was to just replace the horn where all the mud and water somehow works its way into the horn eventually killing it. This time I replaced the oem horn with a Hella 003399803 Twin Supertone Horn kit, and relocated them to the engine bay so they stay dry(er) Room in the engine bay is really tight, so I had to make a bracket to locate it above the cruise control motor.

derekmac Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sounds good Jay. My factory horns are pretty weak, but I also have small air horns that I can have triggered by the horn as well if I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Those supertones are very popular with the Subaru guys. I want to get something a bit beefier for the H2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should put in a Toyota horn in the H2... A big *** rig that sounds like the Roadrunner! "Meep Meep!" B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 No updates on my off-road rig, though I need to make some soon! Got the struts out of the front end of the Miata today and managed to get one coilover installed. The driver's side strut gave me quite a fight to get it out so I ran out of time for the day before I could get the coilover in on that side.

My04T4R Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Got brakes done today and some other tid bits, got different coils shipped up from the states this weekend, slightly taller but more importantly higher spring rate, got the rake I wanted back. I carry way too much crap in the back, rides much nicer now, might also be the fresh set of mt tires compared to p rated studded nokians, none the less very happy.

sar4x4 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I know, I know, this is not deep ice compared to what I saw at Autoport last night! Up to mid tires. Ice, not snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 So last November I was struggling with the Scout tail light socket to get it past inspection. One side had been changed, but the other was corroded beyond repair. I worked at it for an hour, then gave up. The next morning I went to Part Source first thing and they found me a universal one that I rigged to fit. Then I took it for inspection and the guy basically said he looks at steering components and not so much at the lights! I believe that is true, lights are not tested anymore. But, I felt safer of course. So Friday I was in Cdn Tire and wandered through the automotive section. And they had LOTS of various light sockets / pig tails. And one looked very familiar. There was a book but International Scout was not listed. And the book very helpfully said for vehicles not listed see the parts counter.. Yeah right, I thought with sarcasm. And I went over. And the look of the parts person did not instill me with confidence. They did not look like someone that had a great knowledge of automobiles. But they can punch buttons on the computer! And sure enough, IH Socut II was listed. And the light socket listed was one out on the shelf! You see, many 60s - 80s and other years parts were installed across many North American vehicles. AC Delco / Remy electrical, Saginaw steering, DANA / SPICER, you get the picture! Take a look! I guess it pays to shop! I was going to order the part in from the States or BC!

sar4x4 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Found when I was performing some TLC on the Scout. The ignition has been upgraded from breaker points and condenser to a Mallory optical trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can You replace the connector or is it something not easily sourceable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's a bad (cheap) design on the usb socket, as the socket is just presented right off the circuit board. If ojocam don't want to warranty it, I'll probably try and hard-wire the usb cable directly to the circuit board.....that's assuming the thing still works as it got into a crash-loop right after it happened. Such a shame as it's a nice thing to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
