No no no, don't hit the road! Hit the OFF ROAD and get some mud on that paint.

Does your starter button have an "always hot" power supply or did you wire it off of the ignition wire so that it would only crank in "run" position ?
My 1989 K1500 won't start in really cold weather because one of the tabs in broke off and you can't quite get the key switch to turn far enough to push the long rod to engage the starter position on the switch. Works fine above 20F or so. Rather than replace the switch I'm thinking about just adding a push button somewhere.
Years ago working at the service station, I changed the oil on a Land Rover 90. I don't know if it was factory or not, but the starter button was way up under the middle of the dash on the firewall. It was probably almost theft proof

Make sure you run an inline fuse
I ran a dedicated wire from the other terminal on the button to the starter solenoid. im sure i could have tapped into the yellow or green wire from the harness under the dash but I wanted to leave everything as is so one day I could fix it the right way

Replaced the fluid in my transfer case since it was about 1k miles since the rebuild. No metal in the fluid, yay me
The #3 injector connector has a broken contact and stops working sometime, so I bought a repair connector while I was at NAPA and crimped it on while fluid was draining. I need to replace the harness or do a solder repair. Might just put the injector wires on a sub-harness with a weatherpack connector

The new Smittybilt one. Most of them seem to be the same general design, and that was the best price I could find. $850 to my door. I sprung for an awning to mount on the side. It'll be great for the extended road trips I am planning for this year.
Just got it put together and mounted on the XJ today. The weather cover when packed up rubs the top of my garage door! I didn't think It would be so close.

Little more progress on the "modified" radius arm set up that I'm building for my heep. Looking forward to seeing how it does.
