    It’s 12:06 and I’m wiring my roll bar lamps.

    Dedication, or lack of sanity?

    One time I started a header install at midnight. That was a poor decision. I told the wife I’d be done with the project today. Technically as long as it’s before everyone wakes up Saturday it counts, right?

    I previously had a fan on the stock cooler, it helped in traffic but otherwise was useless. Now I have a tru cool 4589 I believe, much larger than stock and until now haven't been this hot.
    Yup 27ft roughly 5k lbs
    An suv is definitely next, it'll be better for the dogs. If they made a new excursion I'd be all over it but right now it's looking like an Expedition. I would like a new Sequoia to be released though

    I used 2155 Temflex for the connectors as well.

    I have to believe a piece of the wire pierced the heatshrink after I cable tied the main harness down. I better insulated all my connections to be safe.

    all the time, i bought rolls of it.. but when you must use electrical tape to seal up split loom, or make a harness split.. use good tape that doesnt break apart, and dry up after 6 months.. liquid electrical tape is nice in some situations too.. not a lot in automotive, but maybe if you want to seal up the back of a unrated switch...

    My entire loom is wrapped along the underside of the truck with good overlap. I try not to screw around with electric since fire is bad.

    split loom is ok, and offers some protection to the wires, but I prefer this stuff now.....

    https://www.amazon.com/Black-PET-Ex...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

    in some ways its cheaper...and looks better in exposed areas..
