    Installed the Overland Equipped Aux Power Bracket to clean up my wiring under my hood. Originally had the aux fuse block screwed into fuse cover but wanted to switch that up and clean up the rest of the cabling including the rock lights which you see bundled up in the first pictures. Had to cut the ends off and splice them back together after cutting roughly 20ish FT collectively from all the leads (8 total). Didn't have a true before picture since it didn't include my 8 button switch panel box but you see that now in the after pictures on the fuse box, I couldn't find another place to put it.

    After:

    The bracket is made out of thin aluminum so it won't rust but it is sharp and has the potential to cut these cables. The large cable that is powered by the fuse block is for the ultimate headlight upgrade and it can't make the bend of the bracket so it runs outside of the designated slot. Overall it cleaned up the look of the wiring and makes my fuse box accessible again so it probably is worth the $60 I paid when I need to replace a fuse.

    This is a text from this morning between my son and I. He drove my truck last night for the first time. My text is on the right.

    You can crawl under the bumper to see that there are simple clips that hold the flares on. Removing the bumper makes it easier. You can look at my restoration page to see how, super easy.

    Never enough
    It's not, its a Hooke Road rack aka Ebay special. $300 shipped, does what it needs which is keep my awning mounted and the occasional storage case. I think the light bar output is pretty decent but I really don't have anything to compare it to. It's only $70 and I know it's nowhere near the output of a high end light bar but once again, does what it need it to which is give extra light. For $100 total for bar, wiring and switch I'm happy with anything lol

    Ordered bolts for the front skid plate. When I removed the front OEM skid and brackets I tossed the original bolts :(

    Probably doing nothing on it tonight, going to order dinner and watch LivePD on YouTube.

    Lights are sweet! I had to look them up right away, but when I saw the price I quickly realized my oem headlights that are in perfect condition are here to stay. Lol

    What size tires if you don't mind me asking? Running 255/75/17 myself they look almost the same unless your truck is just big as shit?
