Let's see or hear about them OBS mods!! Big or small post 'em all. Whether you ghetto chromed your valve stems or patented a functioning flux capacitor I wanna know about it!! Lifts, swaps, conversions, wheels, tires, injectors, fuel, oil, turbos, chips, tuners, intakes, exhaust, bumpers, suspension, lights, electrical, mechanical, interior, exterior, audio, visual, *******, hillbilly, hitech, lowtech, home built, store bought, big budget, no budget, low budget, bolt on, stick on or spray on, this is your chance to brag some about what you did that made you proud...or not so much if it failed miserably but let's see or hear about the fails too!!

Don't matter if you did it this morning or ten years ago. Even if you have already posted your mod elsewhere and you think everyone knows about it, post it up again!!

If you glued a 12' CB whip to the middle of your hood and you think that makes your truck worthy of a cover shoot for Diesel Power Mag then I'm talkin to you too!!

No rules other than don't be mean and make fun of someone else's contraption. If it makes the pilot smile then it's a cool mod, roger? Having said that, chatter it up!! Questions, comments, concerns, compliments and condolensces welcome!!!!!!!!!!

If you are gonna post pics, make them detailed close ups of whatever you did that blew your hair back. Don't tell everyone that you installed a fuel pressure gauge then show a glam shot of your truck from 30' away. That's what the OBS pic thread is for. Get in there and show the nitty gritty!

Here's one of mine:

5" homebuilt blow pipe. I guess that would be "audio"? :hehe:

And the rust mod

Took all night to clean the carpet, and it looks ALOT better now... But still needs some more TLC. And I just changed the seats, and delt with that crap.

what did you use on the carpet? looks good i need to do that

Thanks! I mostly used Resolve carpet cleaner (till I ran out) then I mixed a little shampoo from our carpet shampooer with water to finish up (little dab of shampoo, lot of water).
JJFLASH- yes I do custom work. I accept money or good whiskey as payment

It was a pain but very worth it.

Very nice Bill, How does the one touch down work for you? I thought about such a modification!

It's great, but took getting used to. OBS didn't have it, but the SD did.
A quick tap "down" makes it go automatically, touching up or down will stop it. If you want manual mode, just hold the down button

Where did you get this at? I want one bad but cant find em

I got the keypad out of a late 90's Explorer. The scary part is cutting the hole in the door. If you mess it up, you're going back to the wrecker to find a door.

The big job was to add RKE to the truck, since it didn't have it. If a truck has RKE, you basically run 8 wires to the door and install the keypad.
After you enter the 5-digit code, the driver's door unlocks, pressing <3-4> will unlock all other doors. Simultaneously pressing <7-8> and <9-0> will lock all the doors. I think <5-6> pops the trunk :hehe: Entering the factory code, then holding <1-2> for 2 seconds will allow you to enter a personal code.

Verdict time... easier to splice in an RKE harness or try and find an OBS harness w/RKE and swap it? I bet I could almost do the harness swap without pulling the dash...

The PITA is that the OBS has the power window/lock harness behind everything. It's right along the bottom of the windshield. I popped out the instrument cluster to get to it and modify it. I will pull the dash on my project truck when the time comes.

Casting sand remains in the block after manufacturing. A filter traps some of it helping the cooling system and water pump live longer.

Hmmmm...You want it done, you bring the truck over here. :hehe:
