    No actually it appears by shear luck that I strung all the wires under the grill, so it just came right out. I found a video of how to do it on YouTube, but it's just a pain in the ass haha. There's no room to mount it cause half the front of the truck is the a/c cooler. It's just a long project that I don't wanna take the time to do haha. It's gonna make a mess in my driveway as well. I'll probably take the front of the truck apart and take it to the trans shop I got my truetrac installed at. Might as well do a fluid swap while I'm there too

    Maybe I'll order some new headlights, and pull the grill, bumper, and flares off and black them out

    That's good luck right there! Yeah the ac cooler would be a pain. If you had a shop instead of a driveway it would be a different story. Yeah a fluid swap would be nice if they are messing with it all

    What headlights? A black out would look sweet with our red trucks

    Yeah, I like the look of those. If I did a retro, I'd have orange halos or maybe blue. Not sure. But idk, I don't feel up to that mod now, maybe in the future.. I have an extra set of headlights I could put in while I do the mod too

    Also, I am almost done with the 2ndary fuse block, just have to cut the lexan a little more, bolt it all up, and connect some wires.

    Either color would look good. Yeah if you have a second set you could take your time with the entire process so you don't mess it up by rushing

    As of right now? Only one because I have work tomorrow and can't wire up all my lights in a day, but I will use at least 4 of the 12 slots right away

    A block you run wires to that holds power and fuses for auxilary lights and all

    Its a secondary fuse block that you wire up to your battery for accessories instead of a bunch of wires directly to your battery. I went overkill with the 12 slot pos. and neg., but oh well. Check out blue sea systems

    What he said lol

    Oh on a side note while I was under my truck today I found out one of the bottom bolts with a square nut for my radiator is missing. Seems I'm always finding stuff that's falling off haha

    Yeah, I didn't want that, so I got the block, I could've just got the 6 slots block, but really, 8 slots would be the right number for me, they don't make one however, so 12 it was

    Gonna have glove box LEDs on there, hood lights, reverse lights, horns, under glow lights

    Yeah, I see that sometimes too, just stripped bolts or rusty ones I'll replace or put in acid to strip the rust
