    This is sick, when I was reading, I was afraid you were going to do the standard matte black, matte khaki, or army green color. This would look super good

    That will all look great. Can't wait to see what it becomes.

    On my random CL browsings, a bunch of first gens are popping up and I want one to SAS...

    id love the quicksand color but its too cliche at this point. Also id want the door jambs to not stand out as bad when i go to open the door.

    seen a lot of people put it there. Seems fine to me. I need to do OBA but have zero room under the 4th gens.

    My problem is that is where I'm mounting my WW Reservoir. So my options are try to mount the reservoir elsewhere, or the OBA elsewhere. I don't really want it inside the rig because it is so loud though.

    Found a spot to mount switches for my lights. I think this will come out clean.

    [​IMG]
    It mounts right by the 4WD switch.

    I get nervous cutting up parts haha.

    Trying to figure out how many switches I need. I have 3 blanks on my dash. I'm gonna try to find stock looking switches for my air compressor and air locker once I get them so that they are near me and cannot be switched on by a passenger.

    For the switches in the middle, I'm thinking roof light bar, bumper light bar, reverse lights, rock lights, and ditch lights. Can't think of anything else...

    I will be wiring dually's to my fog light harness so I don't have to worry about a switch for those.
