damn nice build
the drivers side has a plastic cover id guess you could go to the dealership and get the covers.
how much did that adapter plates cost you? im in the process of ordering tiny parts for my 94 being the tranny went out so the 08 mod money is taken for now.

today was wiring day

this afternoon i picked up where i left off with the trucks wiring. it was a total mess as i had left it. i had no problem doing this job but it took hours and hours of my work alone and it used the most thinking out of anything so far in this job. its very simple though and my time doing wiring for work really payed off. klein cutters are a must for this. i also used about 100 zip ties and rubber gloves during the process.

gross







starting the organization













at this point you can see where im going with this





then thin it out







then organize it







double checking :rofljest:



pretty much done

Looks good man, I can't say I'm excited to do the wiring on mine. btw I swear since I haven't had the hoist I've needed it more lol, not a big deal though I worked my way around it. I still want to come out there, but work is draining my time.
