I'm actually in Winston-Salem today and going to call about them!

I did forget to bring any tools, so I guess we'll see what we can figure out on that front.

 

Unfortunately having trouble getting someone on the phone, and the baby is hot, so gonna have to head home instead of making the 2 hour detour.

If someone happens to be in the yard and would be willing, I'd love to Paypal some money and a few extra dollars to boot to get my hands on them.

 

Alex, I am leaving the yard now. The good news is the wheels are still here. But there is a "challenge" to getting them.

I tried private messaging you but your private message box is full. If you will post your phone number I will get in touch with you to let you know what's up. You can always delete your number later. Thanks.

 

Number is 276.202.4060, feel free to text or call. If I don't pick up just leave a message and I'll buzz back. Much appreciated!

 

Got it. I texted you. You can edit your post to delete your phone number from the thread now if you like.

 

Wait I have that switch in mine lol so what makes it so special?
or not ?

 

That switch was part of the Genuine LR Aux Light kit. It usually was paired with a rather crappy relay mounted by the aux fuse block under the hood to a pair of Safari 5000 lights. The relays usually have our and then people just rewired the lights.

I've picked up like 3 of those switches over the years, but a cruise control switch with a rear fog cover vs cruise control cover works just as good and much easier to find.

 

Update - I was able to get the Typhoon wheels for Alex_M last weekend. He's planning to pick them up here next Friday.

As Best4x4 posted, the Safari Gard rocker guards were the prize from this truck. The guy who got them before Ken or I got there posted them for sale on one of the Facebook Rover groups and I bought them from him for a price that worked for me.

I was happy to see that the SG sliders use the holes already there for the plastic rocker covers, but when I removed the running boards and the plastic rocker covers today I found that the holes are too small for the rivnuts I need to install to mount the SG rocker guards.

The mounting bolts I got with the rocker guards are 5/16-18 (Grade 8). They are very clean and I see no reason to not reuse them. But, I will have to enlarge the holes in the sill to 7/16". No biggie for most of the holes, but the one most forward behind the rear doors (furthest to the left in the pic) is not accessible with my drill without taking off the door, which I am understandably not keen to to do.

I suppose I could use a smaller rivnut for that location, or buy a right-angle drill from HF, or even skip it altogether and rely on the other fourteen bolts per side.

What do you guys think?

 

It turns out Lowe's has a right angle drill adapter for $20 so I plan to try that. Stay tuned!

 

And much MUCH appreciated! Can't wait to get em on my rig.
