Night Eagle's kind of a build thread

Well last week I cut up my bed sides and now this week I am cutting up my center console. Not even close to as nerve racking as the bedsides. But to honest I did not care much.
Here was the project


Here is what I looked with the shroud in place.

Then the switches put in.

Final the wiring that @Squeaky Penguin did for me.


All I have left to do is wire it to the truck. The only operational ones, right now, will be the compressor and rear bumper lights. The plan is to have the bumper lights wired up tomorrow also. I also have one more switch and shroud to install, but I am not sure where to put it yet.

 

Nice dude! Looks awesome. I like it a lot. Close to the same thing I did with mine

 

Thanks man. Ya I kinda stole the placement from you, with a twist. I will have final install pics tomorrow. It got a little dark today.

 

Haha all good. I stole it from someone else haha. Looks awesome.

 

Thanks. Any thoughts on where to put the final switch?

 

Have used the blanks to the left of the steering wheel?

 

I don't have any blanks. I have an off road. I though of using the the ones under the heat controls, but I am trying to save those for other future switches.

 

Ahhh that's right! I had a blank and then relocated a factory switch, so I have my ARB compressor and ARB rear locker switches to the left of the steering wheel. Hmm I don't know where else you could put a single switch that would look nice haha

 

Ya hence my struggle. I want to put my future front locker and winch control up under the thermostat controls. Are you using the the arb switches?

 

Yeah I'm using the ARB switches. I think they're pretty cool

 

Well as promised here are a few pics, of the rear lights installed and the switches installedin the truck.




The wire g for the rear lights and possible future expansion in the rear.


Final install of the switches.

 

Got some better pic of my rear bumper over the weekend, while shooting with @Squeaky Penguin. It was also a great day of shooting. We were both drilling the 300 yard gong with no problem. We were shooting .270 w/ 3x9 scopes and then my .223 w/ a 1x4 burris scope.

But here are the pics!








Also had a late Christmas with my mom and sister. These are my two favorite gifts they got me.



I won't be placing this on the truck, since it might get destroyed. So instead I am going to turn it a picture frame, for my truck.

 

That's awesome! I like the idea of using that license plate frame as a picture frame!

 

Ya that is kinda what I thought. I let my sister pick the picture. so now I just need to get a hard copy of the picture.

This is the one she chose.

 

I recognize that spot..

 

What you mean the only spot that had no wind that whole day!

 

That's the spot!

 

It was a great day running 7 mile and messing around on lost lake with @BDN.


The only pic I have from 7 mile.


So the explication for this was that, I left my window down while drifting in 4 wheel drive.




After math of tug of war.




What my truck looked like after all the fun on the lake.

Quoted from BDN:
@NightEagle and myself went up to 7mile, again, today.
The entrance to Stump Hill

Top of Stump Hill, Leo stuck.

And because I didn't take any other pics, more of Leo stuck.



After I rescued him from that drift, we made our way out to the top of 7mile.

Sign of a hard working truck.

To be explained later...


And a side trip to Lost Lake to play on the ice.
The aftermath of a tug-o-war.


Awesome day!

This was an awesome day. I would not pass this up for anything.

 

So awesome!!! Love the cool snow drifting vids!!

 

Ya it was a ton of fun. 7 mile didn't have a bunch of snow like I hoped, but the snow on Made for some great fun. It vwas fun watching the snow fly when you hit a new patch of snow.
