    Firstly I installed my switch back turn signals and wired in my marker lights for alternating signals.

    Installed led lights in my reverse and license plate lights
    Installed my bed lights with a wireless keyfob
    Installed my 30" light bar behind the lower grill

    Wired my map lights to come on with the door light and still work with the toggles.

    Installed my timer switch for my heated mirrors.

    Installed my Cooper St Maxx and did an alignment

    Shimmed my drive shaft to stop my vibrations

    Lastly ordered my fuel pump and got paint to

    Love them so far. Alot rougher ride but to be expected bumping up to a 10 ply. They handle awesome in the mud.
    Noisy between 30 and 60km then quiet up to 130

    How hard was it to wire up the switch backs? Did you get them from Jumper?

    Installed my URD Spec U exhaust today. Did a 0-60 pre and post run and could be a nearly 1 second improvement. Will post accelerated video of the install soon. Until then here's the before and after 0-60 (km/h) results. Sounds pretty good.

    I have his instructions but maybe it had been a long day, I found them confusing. I'll search for the write up here later.

    Finally got got my RideRights installed, I have had them in the garage for probably six weeks.

    I think I left enough slack in the airlines to add a couple T fittings and the in cab control system later, but it doesn't take many strokes of the bicycle pump to get them to 60 psi.

    I am on damp pavement with wet leaves today, didn't get to play much but I think I am going to like these rather a lot.

    Washed it

    Installed a gutter screen behind the grill for pesky bugs. Found some black ones, we'll see how they hold up.

    The Battery powered motion sensor lights came in the mail today. Stuck one in the back under the cover and seems to work like I want. It comes on when I lift the cover. Not sure it it's secure enough in that it might not stay off. We'll see.

    BTW this site sucks!! Keeps giving me ideas and ideas and more ideas to spend cash. Need to start a priority list. Too many mods that I like from here. Dam you.

    I decided to hang a right, at this little junction. Little did I know there was a 4 foot perc hole in the ground swallowed my whole RF side. I engaged the locker, put it in reverse and dumped the clutch, popped right out
