    No but it's on my radar for the future. It would be nice because I can barely see out back.

    I think I'll do that after I swap my head unit for one with a screen so that I can wire it up to that.

    Not this one. It's doesn't put out enough. I'll probably end up with a dual ARB and a tank when I set up the OBA. All in good time...

    I like it. I'll have to do that some time. The RTT will make that really fun.

    Right now my engine bay is so ugly from all the wires. Anybody run a blue seas fuse block? I'm thinking about throwing one in there on a mounting plate to clean up my bay.

    Built my own Bussmann. Worked with @tacozord and was the Guinea pig for his DIY.

    I have a background in car audio and need to have clean wiring.

    I fabbed up my own mounting bracket (haven't finished the color matching as you can see - it's my prototype). Yotamac makes a nice bracket too.

    Here is the inside:

    Had an aux block in the old truck, definitely easier to wire things cleanly the first time lol

    Going to probably do a buss man this time around, makes everything look so clean

    Just order it up and install it yourself. You just need to drill a few holes for the pop rivets and have someine tack weld 2 bolts on. Easy peasy

    Good news. New leaf pack will be here tomorrow. Probably installing with @logcabinwc next Thursday after finals. It's gonna be so nice. In the mean time, I should probably grab some new bushings and extended brake lines.

    Anybody with OEM base trim side mirrors (the black plastic ones) want to swap for my SSM ones? I have mine plastidipped but figured I might as well gauge interest.
