    Skids are still in progress, going to take some time off and let my arm heal before I do too much. Also got some new stuff to work on.

    Parts to relocate the compressor under the hood and move the tank to the stock spare location.
    Parts to make a new sealed fuse/relay box.
    Steel, hinge, and latch for the swingout.

    Got the new box in today. Simple but looks pretty good and is sealed which is nice. @NC15TRD

    Interesting idea. Do you think you could have hung the relays off one side and the fuse block on the other to keep everything off the bottom just in case water would happen to get in there?

    No its not that tall. It has a gasket around the top and I have grommets where the wires come through. Not worried about water getting in unless it's completely submerged which then it could seep in around the clusters of wires coming in.

    Planning on getting the compressor moved and skids finished this week. Might get to touching up the sliders and some more work on the swingout as well. I think I'm going to have to get a 1-1/4 inch bolt for the hinge to go with some bronze oilite bushings. Awaiting to hear back from ruffstuff to hear what they say before I order anything.

    Got the compressor moved. Waiting on one more compression fitting to get here then it's all done. Also got the drive shaft greased up and a couple little things done as well. Working on a solution to the swingout hinge.

    Lifetime LED flush mount pods and 20 inch single row bar showed up today. Not high on my priority list right now. Truck needs to be Rausch ready SOON. Going to work on skids and stuff tomorrow and Friday. Updates to follow.
