The Dark Side & BS Build

About to take the ugly safety warning stickers off of the visors

 

The area where you can tell the sticker was will go away with time

After:





Before and After in one picture:

 

What I used to get the warning stickers off the visors:



Took the side that you see when you flip the visor down on the passenger side first in case I messed it up I haven't done this for a few years...



Before the sides you see when the visors are up, both driver and passenger sides:



During the driver side removal:

As you saw before, installed back in the truck:

 

Did the Custom Start Up and Screen Off Image mod to the head unit following THIS LINK and the video below





Used my Australian Shepherd when he was a puppy for the start up:



The Screen Off Image:




Then maybe down the line for shits and gigs I'll put this for the start up image just to remind myself the (good) evils TW has brought to me

 

Finally flipped that passenger side leaf spring rear upper screw around so it stopped making a creaking sound and grinding away at the hanger. Hit it up with some black rattle can to give that bare steel some protection and for cosmetic purposes.

 

Mine is the other way but hasn't made any noises for me

 

Weird, mine was rubbing hardcore.
Really glad I don't have the dakar squeak.... yet

 

Yet is the key word lol

 

next time it'll be expo

 

Got my Hi-Lift mount today from @Shmellmopwho and gonna put it on later this evening or tomorrow morning. Proceeds go to his kids college education way down the line so it's nice to pay it forward and get something in return too

 

Glad they made it there good! I really appreciate the support!!

 

Of course

Before and After:

 

Going to clean up the light bar and D2s wiring this weekend.
Firewall is looking quite heinous

 

Lol if you think that's bad you should see mine..

 

Haha I would love to. I just feel bad that it's gonna let a lot more engine noise through and its gonna start looking like ass

 

Unless you cut a hole bigger than the wire no noise should come through. To be honest my truck is so loud that would make no difference haha

 

Hmm, I know I could notice a difference as soon as I routed the wires through there half assed.
I'll re-route them later today and hopefully be able to tell a difference

 

Did the Satoshi Grill Horn Relocation mod courtesy of @Cape Codder write up in the hyperlinked text



How it looked from the beginning... going to clean up the Rigid wire harnesses later today, hopefully.





Unplugged the temp sensor and horns to re-route them through the lowest hole where the airbag sensor is. I unscrewed that but made sure not to 1, move it a whole lot and 2, not mess with the connection/plug:









The wiring routed through that lower hole:




The temp sensor is clipping back in the same place:

 

Relocation look from front and center:




The horn mounts, I did have to switch them (put the left one on the right and visa versa) because otherwise it would hit the lower portion of the radiator:






The wiring routed through that airbag sensor hole:




The original mounting holes and where the horns are now:
