The old girl is wore out--time for a change.

[crash]

Got the mounts for the rear harness and rear rock lights. Once they hit the tranny lines they will simply follow them all the way down the chassis,

[crash]

I finally decided to do the door bars. I still have more tube to do but that will have to wait until the outer floor panels come off.

Looking back I wish I would have waited a tad longer...

[crash]

So one concept I am going for is to have as much of the rig wired in a modular form for easier disassembly and service.

I started with the dash and was curios how the illumination looked....

[crash]

I had to notch the center console so the wiring loom will pass thru easily. The dash plugs in to the main harness and center console.

[crash]

This was harder than i looked to figure out--the brake light switch. I believe its important to have the guy behind you know what you are going to do. I have had guy plow into me and anything I can do to slow that down in beneficial to me.

[crash]

So one thing I had a hard time trying to figure out and that was where the heck do I put my ipod where I can see it and I really wanted some way to secure it in the rig--since there are thief's in the damn world.

This idea kinda popped outa my head and does everything I was wanting.. Since I have a volume knob in my switch pod I won't need to mess with it a whole lot.

[crash]

I figured it was a good idea to label these. My toy had 5 of those and I was always forgetting what was what

[crash]

The center console all wired up.

[crash]

The switch pod wired up.

[crash]

Start of the cab wiring. It will be fully wired and the harness removable..

[crash]

And it goes thru the switch pod and forward thru the center console. Along the way each module component plugs into the harness..

[crash]

I made a cover for between the switch pod and center console to hide the wiring loom.

[crash]

So with how the electrical center is I needed to get the wiring into it and it will go thru the inner panel and the electrical center. I had to cut holes in both items with the grommets in the electrical center along with the passthru power stud.

[crash]

Cab wiring up and thru the firewall. I ended up notching the top of the firewall so the panel can be removed without needing to remove the wiring harness..

[crash]

Took a lil time to figure out where I could fit the winch control for the front--finally found a nice spot and made a mount.

[crash]

Got the controller wired to the winch and main power cable to the main junction. I also got all the tabs done for the harness to the driver side (headlights).

[crash]

I got the motor ground cable done and something I was contemplating was a support for the lower radiator hose assembly. Figured since its not real light to help keep it from drooping...

[crash]

Next is some steering stuff.. I have used this cooler a few times on other rigs and always seemed to do the trick so I ordered one. I had to start by making some mounts for it...

[crash]

I originally had planned on putting the cooler behind and at the bottom of the radiator but found a much better location that was still well below the reservoir. Got it mounted and most the hoses routed.

[crash]

Time to pull this out of the box.....
