Enjoyed it! Total elapsed working time was probably closer to 90 minutes. Did my Fuse 27 after you left. Had the kit riding around in my Raptor for the past 30 months. Well..... @Gumby did it in about 15 minutes. Since he did @mwaite09 Fuse 27 a few days ago, it was still fresh in his mind box. Thanks, Dude!View attachment 402351

Did you use solder or crimp connectors on the Fuse 27 wire? Mine is currently "accessible" and ready to do.

Solder

I guess I'm gonna break out the Harbor Freight solder kit and try it out on something less valuable (like the toaster) before I set fire to my Raptor.

I have used heat shrink solder connectors on projects like this before. But @Gumby had a REALLY nice solder torch.

Now that there are a few raptors around... shock maintenance will be a must. So before @WNCHSTR96 got here to replace all 4 shocks. I found a wall mount spring compressor on Criegs List. for $200 bucks We could do his, mine, @mwaite09 He has ordered new front springs already. and of corse any other struts. Without having to use DEATH sticks anymore. Just a little late for @Bozz

Branick spring compressors are definitely the way to go. Wall mounted, of course!

The wire/harness wont go up in flames lol. The key is using flux, and getting the wire hot BEOFRE applying the solder to it
