[jeeper05]

[BaileyAZ]

I will look at my schedule tomorrow and let you know if Sat afternoon will work. Thank you for offering to help me!!!

[Scramblin_Jim]

I too wil need to work the schedule but usually have some part of each weekend afternoons free. Its the mornings that are always full for me. Thanks for offering to help us.

[BaileyAZ]

Looks like Saturday afternoon is out for me. I have visitors coming from out of town. Sunday morning could be doable depending on how long it takes to install. Thanks again.

[Scramblin_Jim]

I normally do church Sunday mornings, but can pass if this is the only time it can be done. I really would like to get something installed soon for the peace of mind.

The Job only takes about an hour, I did the one on Jeeper05's rig. I will be around this week, I live in Goodyear (Pebblecreek). Pm me, we can get er done in no time.

[BaileyAZ]

Sorry, I have guests this weekend and I do not have time to spend on the jeep. I know, I need to choose whom or what I spend my time with more wisely! J/K:D

[AZG23]

[Wayco]

No problemo, bring a switch, we can do it any time.

[AZG23]

cool.....

[Wind_Danzer]

Can I jump in on the fun too???

Wouldn't mind adding another layer of protection. :D

[Wayco]

Sure Jamie, just work out a time that we could all get together, my schedule is pretty booked up next week though. It's a really simple soldering job, just need a small switch that you can hide somewhere.

[Wind_Danzer]

Well I'm pretty much booked through the evening of the 10th.

Do I need more then just that switch, I have no problem supplying the materials. :)

[Wayco]

I use a few feet of speaker wire, enough to go from under the hood to where ever you want to put the switch, and shrink tubing. I have both here. I have a 3 day camping trip starting on the 10th, after that we can figure out when. Brad, when will you be available?

[Phenomenal]

I can give a hand next weekend saturday or sunday late afternoon if anybody still needs it
I live near 101 & Indianschool

[AZG23]

Im available any sunday after 4pm....or monday or tuesday all day.....or nights....after 7:30p

I know Jimmy wanted to get one too....

[Wayco]

Tuesday am would work, Mike Varne was looking for a run then, but this might be more important if we can all get together.

[AZG23]

we can do tuesday.....gotta get a switch...what kind are you using...just a single throw switch..?? or rocker style..??

[Wayco]

I'm on my second switch, the first one was a single pull with a plastic toggle, when it broke I replaced it with a metal toggle, cause of breakage still undetermined, but the metal one has survived so far. A rocker switch might also work, but I haven't seen one made of metal. A few feet of speaker wire and some heat shrink, ( I have this if you don't). Unless any of you are good at soldering, I will provide the soldering skills.

Didn't mean to ignore you Kregg, this project is quite simple but only works on late model Jeeps with an in the tank fuel pump. You are welcome to come over and supervise, (harass) or just shoot the s**t with us.

[AZG23]

ok....Ill getta switch...PM me your address...and what time you wanna do it...bout 9:30-10a...?

[Jerico]

OK. Just when and where is this all taking place? Might just want to stop in and put an eye ball on you guys, being that I'm a new kid on the block.

Im not showin you where Im stickin mine!! :eek: :eek:

[Calizonia]

count me in. I have some running around to do tomorrow, so since I'm out I'll pick up the stuff for the kill switch.

[Cave Gimp]

From experience, if you put the switch where it can contact the frame/body, make sure you insulate the switch. I had mine short out a fuse on several occasions. Not fun repeatedly replacing fuses. :(

[Jerico]

Thanks anyway for the invite? Is this a tight club or something?

[AZG23]

LOL....Jerico....yer more than welcome man....just dont look while my switcher is pulled down!!

you ARE part of the club...

[Jerico]

Thanks guy. The same goes for me on the switch thiny. But then again you seam like a good kind of a guy, so maybe someday I'll show you where my ?TWO? switches are in hiding.

[AZG23]

hahahaha....Ive been trying to find a good place....I think Ive found a couple...just not sure which would be best...

[Wayco]

Hi gang, had a computer problem today and couldn't post up. I will be PMing everyone next with my address and phone #. Jerico, you are welcome to come over, I live in a gated community called Pebble Creek. Anyone needing directions will need to call me, my typing skills are limited.

[AZG23]

BIG HUGE thanks to Wayne for the help.....it works great.....


Jerico...good to meet you...

[Jerico]

Wayne and Brad, thank you for the warm welcome. And thanks again Wayne for the info on the kill switches. I now have two switches to do my killing. One for the fuel, and one in the start circuit. Just can't have enough? Kill switches that is.

[mookee54]

Wayne, I don't know how many Jeeps your neighbors will put up with but if one more isn't one to many, I'd like to join up and get "switched" also. I just live a few miles south of PC off Estrella Parkway. If its ok, then PM me as well with your info. Thanks
