    Might know a few places. Prefer mud or rocks?

    It's not incredibly difficult. I run mine on a SPDT three-way switch. I can flick em on manually, turn them completely off, or have them come on automatically with the factory backup lights.

    This was what all the wiring you were doing a while back was for right? Will be a sweet setup. Ive thought about putting some gauges down there in my truck

    Yep!

    Sort of

    I have most of the six-panel harness pre-wired but a lot of it I can't do anything with until install.

    I was certain I had more and better pictures than that one but that's a bit of the six-panel.

    Nice, that looks like it was a big job.. i hate wiring, but i can do it if need be. Definitely not enjoyable at the time, but its oh so sweet whenever you finish things up and get everything working properly!

    Went from
    07CAE0BA-D98E-4F03-AF31-A993574AFB90.jpg

    To
    97C97617-5D25-4BDC-8A41-6C2BE05AABA1.jpg

    With
    C4028F84-CD98-4181-B537-1826958EF660.jpg

    I moved the factory fog wiring harness to the center switches and the A-TRAC switch to the factory fog light location left of the steering wheel with the locker button. All traction control buttons are driver side access only and all the auxiliary lighting is center.

    And I'll be adding six more circuits eventually.

    It's a PITA.

    But I enjoy it.

    Nope.

    I'm a pilot.

    And an OCD perfectionist.

    It's a curse.

    The circled wires piss me off every time I pop the hood but fixing them means at least a day's work and replacing entire lengths of wire for fractions of an inch.

    It looks good, I would connect it both ways, will help when you can leave reverse lights on for connecting trailers and such
