That came out great. Nice work. I'd be proud to open my trunk and show that off.

The worst part really is that I did all that work and I’ll hardly ever open the trunk. Feels better to know that it’s nice and finished though

Quick update on the Ibooster adjustment. I drilled another hole in the brake pedal above the stock power brake position and moved the pushrod clevis up about 5/8”. This fixed the brakes being too touchy. Now they are easier to modulate. If you have the CPP kit basically you just flip the offset pushrod adapter over and re drill a hole wherever the pushrod clevis lands.

One other note. For anyone running a 200-4r or 700-r4. After installing the b&m lockup controller and vacuum switch I was having problems with the transmission locking/ unlocking under load. After doing some bench testing on the superior solutions vacuum switch it appears I need to wire the switch differently than the manufacturer recommends. Superior solutions recommend wiring the vacuum switch in the normally closed position. I noticed that my converter seemed to only lock up when I got in the throttle. Which is the opposite of what I expected. After taking off the switch and wiring up a 12v power tool battery, a test light and a vacuum bleeder I confirmed that the correct wiring for the vacuum switch is to wire it to the normally open terminal. Under normal Vacuum conditions above 15in hg it closes the circuit and applies power to the converter when in OD and above 50 MPH. Then when I’m cruising, hit the gas, and the vacuum drops below 15 in it will disconnect the converter

This schematic from painless performance is the correct orientation.

No a glamorous addition but I needed a mount for my fire extinguisher so it wouldn’t roll around in the interior. Found this handy little quick release fire extinguishermounts for Jeeps/UTVs on Amazon and mounted in in the trunk with some nutserts. Super solid and looks pretty clean.

Looks like the Drake quick release mount.

I use the same on my rear roll bar crossbar to mount fire extinguisher. First used it on my Jeep. Nice mount for sure.
