    Would you happen to have the dimensions you used for this? Or a DWG drawing? I would like to get one made as well, but I don't know the dimensions for the fuse block, etc...

    Follow up to my earlier post, this is what the fuse block mount looks like installed. Now to buy 2 batteries, the mounting plate for them, and battery cable supplies.

    Thanks @Captain Taco for helping to answer questions on the iPad kit!

    I make the kits, check out the link in my signature for more info. The Sony radio installed behind the iPad allows you to retain AM/FM/SAT/CD/Bluetooth streaming & calling from your phone, steering wheel controls, etc...

    That's how the one that I pictured is set up. It's the best way to retain all features and functions.

    I won't be showing how the kits are made in order to protect my intellectual property, but I can say that they are made using 100% ABS chemical bonding methods of purchased and 3D printed parts, combined with a refined and precise method of construction. Unlike most other places that make custom dash pieces, these are made with a minimal amount of body filler which ensures a higher quality and more resilient finished part.

    I was bored today...so I built a jig to lift the truck from the rear-end. You can jack it up from the diff...but I wanted something a little more stable and spread out the load more. It's also safer as it's a lot less likely to slip off like a jack by itself might. Plus I don't mar up the pumpkin's finish. Lifting both wheels off the ground at the same time makes quick work of throwing on and taking off my snow tires as needed. :thumbsup:

    Yeah...I feel the same way. I have family that works in the oil industry and feel zero sympathy. Everyone else had to scratch, fight, and claw to make ends meet for the last 5-6 years while the oil industries made record profits off the backs of people who were already struggling....it is about time they are forced to trim the fat and learn how to survive charging a reasonable amount for their products...like everyone else has...

    Got a 12k lb badlands winch from Harbour freight for super super cheap. It's overkill but who cares.
