Good looking build

Done a few things since I posted on the thread last year.

 

Clean(ish)


Getting dirty


In need of a bath (or a good rainstorm)

 

I like those wheels on there. What size tires are those?

 

finally got a warm day...half way got a clean up going..

.Anyone running a by pass oil filter system? If so whose...Im doing some research on who makes what..etc but plan on a install next month...looks like maybe Amsoil. ran them for many yrs on Industrial pumps/equipment,,Ultra Pure Water plant , Waste treatment/Utility Plant with great results....

Fining a place to mount it is gonna be a problem

 

The tires are Falken Wildpeak at3w 265/75r16. They seem to be holding up well at 6k miles on them, they have a 55k warranty so plenty of life left.

 

got rid of the silver dash finish.....

same for the cup holders, got some things mounted

Digging it!

 

Thanks man! It's always a work in progress. Last week I debadged, changed a wheel bearing, changed the gas lifters on the shell and added kayak saddles! There's always something to do!

 

Still so much more I want to do to her

 

Was it difficult to run the wiring from the headache rack light? Did you put a switch on the dash?

I want to mount lights on my camper shell roof rack, just have minimal experience with wiring.

 

On my old truck I ran the wires from the rack underneath the truck to a switch in I put in the dash (make sure you have a good amount in length of wire) but it wasn’t hard but in this case I haven’t had time so I wired them into my reverse lights for optimal backing up, you know how MA drivers don’t care if you are trying to back out of your own driveway

 

I gotcha. I thought about wiring it into the reverse lights but I really want an aux switch for various fishing, hunting and camping reasons.

 

Ahhh good reason! I found some switches on Amazon that fit perfectly into spare spaces next to oem fog light button I feel like those would be perfect. In short to wire the lights I would run the wires under the truck then through the grommet in the fire wall to what ever set up you have!

 

I appreciate the advice!
