    1987 GMC Jimmy PlowPuter

    Good news today, I received the check from the insurance company after the totaling of my 85 Monte Carlo. This means that I only have to wait for everything to clear and then the truck is mine, so I figured Id start a new thread for what I have deemed as my PlowPuter. This truck is an 1987 GMC Jimmy with a plow, a 3in lift, and a set of hug tires (not sure how big they are, I'll measure them when I get the truck) and now as with my other CarPC install here is the link to both save bandwidth and make it more readable... http://hacks.andrewstrausberg.com/CarPCv2/

    I realize I haven't updated this in a while and I have finished the install including the sound system (I have pictures), however I just haven't had the time to upload anything because of other work that the truck has need... They will be up soon for those interested.
