    I tried, once, to give a shit about the tire light.
    Couldn't do it.

    Packing pretty light, but happy with how everything's fitting and that I have some open bed space. Just need to toss my clothes in and a few other things.

    Survived the first several days. Even after @Tacofire98 took me up Teton Pass and invited me to a race on Saturday. Will start a road strip thread here soon.

    What are the two breakers you have here for and sizes? I see one going from the DCDC to the house battery, is the other from the starter battery to the DCDC, or is that going to the inverter? If the later, do you just have it fused at the starter battery going to the DCDC? Did you use the ING 12+ wire?

    There's a 50amp breaker under the hood that feeds the DCDC. Then a 40amp in the back in between the charger and 2nd battery. The 2nd breaker in the back is for the inverter. I did use the ING+ wire and tied it to a fuse tap under the hood, but don't remember which one, just something that would only be on when the truck is running.
