Found the problem I think, I spent a ton of time cleaning every speck of UV dye off everything on the entire truck. Previously I had a line from my shit HF gauge set bust and spray dye everywhere! Anyway I cleaned it all spotlessly and waited for nighttime to attack if with the UV light. Even in the shop with the lights off it’s a tad too bright to get as good of an inspection done.

Anyway I found that the lower line connected to the compressor was leaking right before my eyes! So I’m going to replace it today and hopefully put this saga behind me.

Other than that the trucks great, still have never gotten the tune just right. Actually having a friend help me out with that hopefully this week or next. Also replacing the backup camera that quit a few months back. Then prepping to tow my ranger an hour north to do some wheeling in the Ocala national forest!

Thinking about me and @iamdub while you were handling that big hose....I just know it.

Glad to see you back. I was wondering if you'd sold it and moved on to a LGBTQ ranger forum.

Ranger forums are long dead lol. I did just receive a bunch of cool parts for it tho! It will pull 14” of travel in the front, and closer to 20” in the rear when I’m done with it. All staying stock width as well.

I thought a GATOR got him......

No but on a run a few days ago I saw one big boy cross the road in front of me, and another 5’ sitting across a fence from my neighbors dog. Been seeing a lot of Florida bobcats as well which is really cool and fairly rare.

Yea I know the pics suck.

Alright boys, I need help. New backup camera has a very different wiring setup. It’s much simpler but the included harness is backwards to what it had before. Basically it needs power, ground, and a video port from the radio which is done. However my radio is not hooked up to the reverse switch at all. So I need to do that.

Where the hell is a wire I can tap into for reverse lights? Preferably around the dash area.
