The Prodigal Son Returns - Build

I installed my RAM Mount phone holder into the A-Pillar:

 

Not sure what kind of switch I want for the reverse lights, a smaller one (would only take up 1 spot) or an OTRATTW switch (would take up 1+2 spots)


I also got the front lift OME 883s on OME shocks. Waiting on the expo leafs, flip kit, extended brake lines and fox shocks.



Also have my Pro Comp 7069s on 255 Cooper St Maxx’s waiting to go on once I get the lift

 

Nice rig, how much mat did you use?

 

Thank you! It’ll only get better

I used (2) 36sq ft packages of Dynamat, so just over 70sq ft

 

I need to do my truck, but I am to lazy...

 

It’s definitely a task. Literally taking every single piece out of the cab and that’s not even laying down the sound deadened which is a task in and of itself

Worth it IMO though

 

Took everything out and pulled the carpet up to see what wiring was where underneath... more so for peace of mind, yet still got some re-routing and help with future electrical planning done.

Very nice

 

How are you liking the pioneer unit? Did it come with the camera or did you have to buy it separately?

 

I like it so far, I plug my iPhone into the USB charger in the rear of the deck, I have a charging cord running up to my phone mount by my steering wheel/A pillar and it connects to Apple Car Play - so it shows Waze, Maps, Spotify, etc. on the screen

No it didn't come with a camera, I had to purchase one separately but I ordered

$110 Pioneer NDBC8 Universal CMOS Surface Mount Backup Camera, Black, 6.50in. x 4.90in. x 3.00in.

THIS ONE off Amazon and it hooked up nicely and comes on when I put the truck in reverse

 

Installed the OTRATTW CB switch and the fog light/rear lights switches near the ignition

 

- Blinker to corner light mod - 1 -

Changing to depo corner lights so I moved the turn signal and had to cut into the corner lights



But it turned out pretty well I’d say, oh and I painted the grill with rattle can bed liner

 

Got a new box spring for free. Didn’t have my Yakima roof racks on so I wedged it in the bed as much as I could the used ratchet straps to secure it... I was only going a few miles and it was all on back streets going >20mph so I was okay with it

 

What rear shocks did you use? Do you have a part number?

 

I used Fox 2.0 shocks

Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks #4500T-AP-RS-EX-2.0

 

Finished my relay and fuse block mount

Got some SouthEast Overland CV clips to replace the OEM ones that slid up and I lost some grease


Jacked the truck up


Here’s the passenger side


Then here’s a before (bottom) and after (top) of the CV clips

 

Nice work on the custom mount. Is there anything supporting the mount under the breaker? Or just the bolts on the fender?

 

Just the fender. The relay side is resting on something although I don’t remember what (something that it won’t run through with vibrations). It seemed sturdy enough, I’m not worried about it since there isn’t much weight at all on the mount and the lexan is a strong material
