    Also added a cobra cb...I'll need to ground the antena as the bed is synthetic right? I do not have a NGP setup. Hoping to get a good ground plane off the roof and truck box...

    How do you get the dash bezel off to install the factory light switch? The dash fog light switch to the left of the steering wheel. Do you just pry it off, or are there screws?

    I remember it not being too difficult but time consuming for the LED interior install. Had the dash apart for a few days.

    Nice Truck!

    But have you thought about joining the "Mods Anonymous" club? Understand they have a 12 step program that one steps deleted your TC web account and another takes your credit cards away! For really bad folks, they take your TACO away and give you a Chevy.



    Thanks for sharing the details and all the pics.
