Oh by the way, who modified your rotors? I had to go through that too.

A local machine shop. he put them on a lathe and turned it down. I had to take a little off the spindle as well and flatten the cap out. it was a little extra work, but for the price of the wheels and how good they look I would do it again, and probably will.

Fortunately for me I have access to a full machine shop and I did my own. HERE Your right about the price it was hard to beat for great looking rims.

Now let's see some more pics of your build!

I see you actualy cut the cap and welded back together, did tou still have to take a little of the spindle or would it clear? did you use the 1-1/4 rotors or the 1"? I was on that boss 338 wheel thread and am surprised how many people would shy away from these wheels. even though several others have described exactly how to do the modification. Unfortunately for me I bought the wheels before I knew they wouldn't fit. So I had to figure it out on my own, before I found the thread. Ill gets some more pics up in a little bit.

with help from Brendan at lt1swap, I did my own harness. All you need a good work station or a unused pool table. and some alone time so you can concentrate. I spent about 10 hours on it over the coarse of a week. it was pretty simple. His web site has the list of the wires you need to keep and what you dont. http://lt1swap.com/index.htm




Just cut a few of the connectors off.
remove the wires you dont need from the connectors and pull each unused wire out of the harness

retape everything your gonna keep.

the pile on the right is what I had taken out.


I also installed a completely new wire harness in the truck using a mini fuseblock.

I check all my connections with either a multimeter or the battery charger.


making sure I have the wiper switch hook up right



and this is the panel I came up with. it has the fusees for the power wires for the engine harness plus all of the relays I am going to use. It should be a little cleaner when its finally done.

Holly **** Batman...I couldn’t do it. I can't concentrate that long on one thing!
But you are doing an excellent job I must say.
Keep up the great work.

Yes, I did have to trim some off the spindle shafts and did have to use silicone to hole the center caps on. I didn't like that part of the swap. Yes they are the heavy 1.25" rotors too.

My kid has been driving his truck everyday since we installed them with no issues and they look great too.

Great job on doing the harness yourself! I am hoping to try to do my own too. Hopefully, I can. Who did your computer?

What did you do to un-stick them?

When you worked on the harness, did you remove most of the loom for easier access?
