    So thankful for my wonderful sewing friend. After some design and templating, she agreed to sew up my PALS/MOLLE panel for the back panel in my cab.

    The panel I made previously:

    The panel removed with the full-size template/blueprint I made for her and the panel.
    upload_2021-12-5_12-32-30.jpg

    I then measured out the location for all the grommets that I would use to fasten the panel to the back panel and punched the holes:

    After the grommets were installed, I placed it on the back panel to mark the location for the M6 threaded inserts:

    The new PALS/MOLLE panel installed:

    Just 3 tons of fun!!!
    More tedious wiring BS accomplished.

    Yesterday we:
    Ran the wire for the 2 charging outlets, the aluminum plates will be painted.



    You can also see the cargo area light, we also mounted, in the center.

    Mounted the rear view camera and ran the wires.




    Secured all the wires and protected them by running them through rubber fuel lines.



    All the power and grounds, for the back half of the truck, will be made up in a compartment in the bed rack between the wheel tubs.


    Today we:
    Mounted 12 rock lights, Each side = 1 between the rear wheel and bumper, 1 in rear wheel well, 1 center rear door, 1 center front door, 1 front wheel well, 1 just behind the bumper.

    And also got the license plate light mounted and wired.
