I have added cable tie ups for my sway bar and discos.

And today I added a aux fan over ride switch and a high idle switch. The fan switch is hiding by the end of the transfer case lever , it is a temp mount only .For the high idle I used the factory fog light switch that was not in use.

This is the relay I had to add for the fan and the wiring for it and the high idle.

Default flairs

Rob82 I would like to see it with the flairs djorgn ? made on naxja I like that style best , but that is another $400 for the flairs and then I would have to fill the larger hole with bigger tires and then re-gear since I tow with it - its a never ending cycle .Maybe some day .

The look of the factory flairs is nice but with my wheel offset they dont protect the bode form the flying mud with rocks in it . I have alot of small paint chips all over from that. The rims are Ion 171 Black and you can find them a jegs and some other places they run $100 - $115 ea .Mine have a offset of 3.5 so they stick out farther . I would like to put crager soft 8's on with my off road tires and run a highway tire on these.

This is how it looked after I repaired it.
