I have the bracket that BW sells to mount it, but I'm undecided if that's where I'm going to leave it. Since I'm installing the THOR intake I may put it in that area instead.
Yeah I am one of the few who got the first batch
Since I’m putting it into my 4cyl comanche I’m going to have to figure out a spot close enough to the cab that doesn’t pinch the remote cable

Welcome back! and not quite time for the big reveal unfortunately but...

After an endless amount of back and forth I finally made the call and settled on a new color. I always loved Anvil grey, but there are already quite a few out there in that color and wanted to do something different. Colors like this are either love or hate for most, but I think it suits the build perfectly. It's already flashy enough so I didn't want a bright, crazy color that screams at you every time you glance it's direction.

Ended up going with a nice and glossy Battleship Grey. Very similar to Destroyer, Stealth, and Nardo grey depending on the lighting. Overall I'm loving it and glad I went this route instead of a blue I was considering.

My oh my, you do buy the right parts.
Just got finished looking through the entire thread.
You gave me some great ideas and some insight to some parts I didn't even know existed.

Thanks for taking the time to post your progress.

You're thread has gained 3 pages in the time it took me to read all they way through it again. This is the cleanest build I've seen on here. I love your attention to detail and not cutting corners just to get it done. Cant wait to see how the paint turns out. Just ordered a shirt and some decals from you. My wife likes your products as well

Edit: How do you like your THOR intake? Been thinking about one since I plan on doing a dual battery setup

Default Comp Mount Contactor and Overflow tank

With the comp mount install, where did you locate your winch contactor/solenoid control box?

Did you use the BWE bracket for locating it next to the fuse block? If so, where did you place your coolant tank? Any photos would be great!
