    Definitely, I think it would be even easier actually to fit twin sticks than the single J shift.

    yea thats the plan going with some dobinsons but they are on national back order and ive got more important things to spend money on at the moment. Ive got plenty of flex with my current setup archive hangers plus 12inch relocation so not really trying to go with 63's

    Same length as a shortbed, I cut out 14”. I did that intentionally so I could put a softopper on it. Which worked out super well but I’ve since switched bed setups.

    Sweet, that was my plan as well. Only issues I might run into is that I have 63’s and I think they sent a little further back

    Yeah I’m sure they do. My frame is cut so it butts right up against the leaf hangers. Even then, you’ll still be able to get a good chunk off which makes a huge difference. I went from a 26° to a 45° departure angle.

    Built this nifty little cubby for beers and bongs on camping trips. Cleaned up the bed and sealed some holes that were letting too much dust in. Fixed my broken window issue. The cheap way! And made my bed for the weekend!

    Got my axle in for the passenger side.

    Trimmed 2” from the first fender flare with a dremel. I’m really happy how it turned out.

    2014 5-lug AC 2.7L VVTI
    Snug top Rebel, Thule tracks, ditch tracks, Bagged rear suspension, F/R anytime camera, intermittent wiper switch...
    A lot of reorganizing and systems disconnected while I was revamping stuff but finally got things back together and everything works, woot! Heated mirrors mod(timer relay controls secondary switch led), fogs anytime, heated seats, relocated power ports(always hot), 2 extra horns using stock horn wire to trigger relay, and redid the harnesses on the left and center cubby to daisy chain power, illumination +/- . Eliminated an add-a-fuse by using the stock power port 15A circuit to power 1/2 of my 8-way fuse panel)other 1/2 is always hot on a 30A fuse from the Bussman which is on an 80A breaker.

    4 ignition hot circuits are:
    Push switch power(all banks)
    Heated mirrors power
    Heated seats switch power
    Open

    4 always hot circuits are:
    Relocated 12V sockets(one passenger side of console, one in bed)
    Passenger seat heater main fuse
    Driver’s seat heater main fuse
    Open
    Left side switches added:
    Fogs
    Heated mirrors
    Ball valve(open/close)for OBA supply
    2 remain open

    center console left to right:
    Driver’s side heated seat control
    Front camera anytime
    Rear camera anytime
    Open
    USB/AUX
    Dual socket USB charger w/12V display
    Passenger side heated seat control

    Center console cubby(OBA switches/dials):
    1” pressure dials(100psi output/160psi input)
    Driver’s side lift bag switch
    Passenger side lift bag switch
    Spare
    Compressor relay switch(tied to pressure switch)
    Output pressure control valve

    Passenger footwell side of center console
    Relocated 12V power port now always hot.

    I ran 4- #10 wires to the center console under the cup holder (MT so behind the stick)
    Always hot on 30A fuse to 1/2 panel
    Always hot on 40A fuse to 40A compressor relay
    Ground from engine bay Blue Seas ground buss to interior ground buss mounted behind stick(BS buss to battery clamp is #4 copper)
    Spare #10 wire and spare 40A relay(possibly fridge or inverter).

    OBA manifold has ball valve input, pressure switch, over pressure dump valve.
    QD line from manifold for HP air as backup supply.
    This needs to be cleaned up with pressure switch on tank side of ball valve.

    It’s getting crowded under the center console but the inverter would still fit.
