wires coming into the cab

covered in 1/2" loom

wiring for the front valves coiled up and taped out of the way to be wired later

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

ran teh rest of the wiring to the back of the truck along side the stock wiring

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

and this is where ill add in 2 switches with red led lights to turn my compressors on and off and an extra switch for any later added accessory

so thats bout it for today!

oh and we did some measuring on my bed. we were going to lift the bed floor to compensate for raising some cross members but upon further review we discovered that the bed floor sits 2" higher than the frame mounts so in an attempt to maintain as much room inside the bed as possible we will just be cutting out the center of the bed for the notch and cross members to come through. that takes off about a days worth of work!

sweet! glad to hear it.

oh so im debating weather to buy smaller tires for my 17s or just go buy some 22s

because....

1 my tires (as you can all see in the pics) are bald as all hell

2 i got hella shit to relocate under the hood and not much time to do it before the big show coming up in july

3 i cant lay out on my stock tire size

4 if i get 22s now i still wont be able to lay out until i do some work relocating everything but at least i could set up my shocks and other things correctly.

5 im spending hella scrilla!!!!!

so im not sure which route im going to go yet
