My tuner finally showed back up today!! Works much better now and took some time to make some small adjustments to the tune. Will give the adjustments a test tomorrow night after work.

You bet. At least on my 94 the evaporator drain is about three quarters of an inch long and exits straight out of the firewall. The water typically comes out of the drain and roll straight down the firewall into the gap where the drain exits. Water drains under the carpet pools and you never know because of the rubber lining between the carpet and the padding. I simply added a link of tubing to drop the exit below the level of the gap in the firewall. I believe some folks actually put an L bend rather than adding the tubing but I am cheap and not very creative hence my solution.

Just sent a guy a payment for a edge 3200 stall converter :D little higher stall than I was planning but at nearly half the price of me ordering it new it was to hard of a deal to pass up. It'll just mean I'll need to put a bigger, lumpier cam in to make full use of it now lol

Spent today making up a switch panel for lights, rerunning wires and adding a relay for the new LED light bar.

I have to replace my headlight switch this week as it died the other night.

28" Cree Led bar.

I put the light switches down by the parking brake pedal for now, see how I like it and go from there.

I ordered a 20" bar a month ago it never showed, he had a 28" in stock today so thats whats going on it lol. I am happy with how the two small LEDs work, nice spread beam like I wanted, this LED bar is supposed to be an narrow beam. Hope it works as good as it looks, friggin things are not cheap.

I plan on getting a 48" (only sold on eBay lol) and two 7"s (I think also sold on eBay). I'm pretty sure they sell the 51"s on Amazon cheap if you don't want to trust eBay, which I wouldn't blame you for

He tried to talk me into one or two of those, yeah not a chance in hell lol.

I have to figure out where this thing is going, I never planned on getting a 28" bar and it will not fit where I want it to.
