Engine getting wired up, Wolf computer installed in watertight box under seat.
Wolf 3D Stat screen installed on dash at correct vision angle.
Rear Maxi and upgraded transfer are also going in this week[thumbsupbig]
Front and Rear bar work mods,winch and rear wheel carrier are getting started next week
Can you move the computer up behind the usless right vent in the dash? Should fit on the lower cowling nicely. Then the deep water wont bother you at all:)Quote:

I'll let you know how it goes the first time i drive her half way up the windscreen in water:eek:
He's been building modded and race Rangie's for a long time so i didn't argue.
A few things worry me with that setup. looms along the hot floor, Nothing is ever 100% water tight unless epoxy is involved, heat to the ecu, a bastard to get at.Quote:

Well bugger it I'm still sticking my ecu and control relays up in the dash with little waterproofing other than silicone spray. If I get that much water on board I'll have other problems:twisted:
It can happen... We took a few inches of water in at Morton island just playing in a water hole:eek: I was damn lucky the ecu didn't chuck it in.
Good points mate,will let you know how mine turns out, can always move up later if its not going to be reliable under their.Quote:
