    Do you have any more photos or install info on that compress setup. That is pretty sick and great job on the build.

    Here are a few photos of the air compressor install. I didn't do it so I don't want to act as if I did, but here is what I can see. The box that the compressor is mounted in was removed from the bed to mount the compressor. Wiring was run through the box and down through the back left wheel well and zip tied to the wiring harness for rear lights (driver's side truck on inside of the frame). It was run through the firewall into the engine compartment. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the pics/ info. Looks pretty straight forward. I'm glad they didn't have to cut up the carpartment to make it fit.

    Truck looks great! Have you done anything to the rear suspension yet? what size KO2's you running? The height and stance look great for the DCLB

    Windows are now tinted at 20%. No more fish bowl. Also got the Hondo Garage premium knobs on. I was skeptical about even buying them but they feel much better than the stock knobs.IMG_8333.jpg IMG_8334.jpg

    New bed decals from @CBoy808 really bring the truck together. Far superior imo over the stock Off-Road decal.
