That's a nice setup!! You painted the inside of the wheels red? It looks sick.

I got energetic on account of the nice weather today, and installed a cheapy cd player that my tow truck neighbour donated. Also painted and installed a newly acquired front skid.

Wired factory fog light switch to aux lights. Super easy and cleared a spot for my trans temp gauge to go.

Hope you used a relay, that switch can't handle aftermarket fogs without one.

Oh yeah. I put together my own wiring about a year ago with a relay.

I didn't do the outside trim because I didn't have enough to do two coats on the trim. Also the bedliner was getting hard in the can so my dad rolled the rest in his truck bed to touch up the old liner.
