Really happy where this truck is at right now

 

That’s funny, I had that same conversation with myself as I was doing the layout.

I’m actually planning on getting a steel high clearance bumper and winch in the future and if I would’ve mucked it up I would’ve just been placing my order sooner rather than later.

 

LOL I think so. I did run my finger over the edge to see how f there was any debris on them. But now you got me thinking I didn’t inspect well enough…

 

Finally wrapped up my fuse panel + relay project. It’s still not hooked up to the battery as I’m waiting for those materials to arrive. However, I’ve hooked it up a few times for temporary testing and troubleshot everything. Only issues I had were two flipped wires on one relay and I had also combined two grounds that needed to not be wired that way. Built it using a Blue Sea fuse panel, an MTA relay block, lots of Deutsch connectors, and a sheet of 1/4” ABS.

Everything functions exactly as I intended:

• Under-hood KC Cyclone V2 lights turn on with a little under-hood flip switch on left fender
  
• Amber Rigid ditch lights turn on with manual switch in cab
• Rigid SAE high beam/driving light bar bright mode comes on automatically with truck high beams
• Light bar bright mode can manually be turned on at any time as well with dash switch
• Light bar dim mode comes on only when truck’s parking lights are on AND a switch on the dash is turned on (so that it’s only on at night, and only if I choose) (“auxiliary power” switch, looking for alternatives)
• Rigid SRQ backup lights in bumper can be manually turned on (they already automatically come on as well)

 

Sorry to drop all these videos on here, just little mods here and there in the past months. I hope some people will benefit from it.

Wow! Nice write up and photos! This will make it so much easier for those who are considering this mod.

Very informative and helpful for us TW folks. Cheers!

 

Thanks, it’s not really a write up as I haven’t detailed out what all I did to make it happen, though I do plan to write out all the specific details in the “show off your fuse panel” thread and I’ll link to that here once that’s done. I’m waiting for final hookup to battery for a fully completed install before I share to that one. Appreciate the kind words, it was a ton of effort but it came out how I wanted so it was worth it.

 

That’s definitely good information to look for in that thread.

The extra effort to share the process is greatly appreciated.

 

I forgot to ask, what tire size you’re currently running.

 

Wow! Can you send me a link to that antenna mount?

 

More AC goodness It’s a family affair - my 2017 on the right, brothers 2015 in the middle and my nephews 2023 on the left. Picture at the Alvord desert in Oregon.

 

Ahh, you’re much smarter than the box kickers at work. I can’t access the maintenance settings because I only have a left handed screwdriver.

 

If you place it in your right hand you should be good to go.

 

Current size is 285/70R17 BFG KO3 tires (32.8")
Cheers

 

Here’s mine….lower control arms look like fried chicken legs!

That sucks for California, where I currently reside. Tesla Model Y, are you fucking kidding me!? We already borrow energy from other states, so how is this sustainable?

 

We might be related. Except in my family that man is my Dad and I know those boxes on his garage shelves have the old plugs in them. I used to help him change them. Did it like we change oil today. Every xxxx miles.

 

Will I need a mirror?

 

So I heard California will stop selling "gas powered" vehicles entirely soon. Whether or not they stop licensing them remains in question, I think.

I hope the "liberals in everything but truck ownership" do not move to AZ ... do not need an elected state government as "blue" as that.
