A RC with no sliding rear can be cramped sometimes.

But i do agree with you about the clean look... that's why i try not to clutter my window with a lot of little stickers. But the Old but sexy sticker I couldnt help myself.

NO STICKERS!!! Ugh, I love adding a new sticker! To each his own, I guess, but the big window with proper tinting and cool stickers is the ticket in my book!

^^^ I agree!!! I think the biggest change in looks you can do to a vehicle is some 20% tint all the way around with an "eye brow" on the windshield. This is definitely gonna happen to the Powerstroke when its done!

No surprise. The switches in the transfer case are grounds for the two lights. So when you measure for voltage there, you're measuring _after_ the power passes through the bulbs.

Lamp test - turn the key to RUN, and run a jumper between the terminal for the light blue wire at the t-case connector to a ground. 4X4 light should go on. Now run the jumper from the other (blue/black) terminal to ground. LOW RANGE light should go on.

Good info! Thanks. I will definitely give that a shot. I looked high and low (get it!?) for a wiring schematic for this but I couldn't find one. Reps attempted, but not allowed.

Yeah Dan I am just dont like seeing an entire rear window with 20 different stickers of browning, IH, lifted trucks, ford bleed blue, etc etc of all the "typical" stickers that people buy at the county fairs and farm and fleet stores. They clutter the window and a lot of them arent that good of a message or picture.

Now if its performance stickers placed in a nice readable fashion thats a different story.

I do have a guy who has the ability to make custom stickers up to 4' long and 8" tall.
I kind of want that tint strip on the front windshield with a "4 and a half tons of fun" sticker across it..
Or perhaps "7.3 Liters of fun"

Cant decide.
For me stickers are like tattoos... I dont want to be covered in them, but would like to have a few, but I cant decide what few so I decided its better i dont start getting them at all! LOL

Oh and the tinting I like too, but I also like waving to people and everyone in my town knows me or/and my truck so I like the visibility.
And my truck has a 'shiny' appearance to it with all the chrome and the tint would be out of place being the only dark thing on it. lol

IM WEIRD AND I DO WHAT I WANT!

im going crazy being cooped up in an apt complex with my car not my truck.
But im finding I dont have time for much besides class, homework, sleep.. so it dont really matter!

I do however find time to get back involved in the SAE series I love.

Its the SAE Mini Baja. A design competition for universities.

And of course I managed to get some nice ladies to pose around it!
The team thinks I am the new poster child of Baja. lol
