Thanks guys.

Warning...the following photos were taken with my iPhone. I did the best I could to keep consistency.

With everything off, flash on.

Big thanks to GotMo for pushing me today. We installed some led reverse light bulbs in his today too.

Not gona let a few clouds and drizzle stop me from modding today. Just gotta be prepared.

Just doing a little sound deadening. Passenger side doors for today.

I obviously didn't fabricate these here but, I did remove them for some hammer tone black paint.

For those of you with a GOBI and are thinking about the arb awning, there is no bracket made yet. So, I had some 2" square stock cut up. We welded a "L" bracket for the mount.

I used some 3/8 all thread and tacked a wing nut on one side. Tapped the same side on the 2" receiver so that my "quick release" could thread into them. And we just drilled the opposite side for the arb awning bolts and nuts.

And just use a 2" receiver plug for the top.

You'll see some clear bra material and foam tape to protect the GOBIs finish.

This makes it very simple to swap sides if needed.
 
Today I got a little bored with the 3m dinoc on the fog light bezels. So I bought some trail versions.

And once again the front bumper comes loose.

Got a little tired of the wax hitting the dinoc. Thats why you see the "white" on the dinoc.
 
Nothing major to report. Finally got my dual battery set up in.

The main reason for going with Kodiak's system is so I can keep the space on the pass side open for my air compressor install.

Here's the Wired HDH switch location. I thought that the cubby behind our "flip up" door would be a good location for the Kodiak switch.

Ignore the ribbon wiring you see. That's for the Wired HDH control panel.

Sorry if the pics are oversize. Not too familiar with the iphone5/Mac set up yet.

Ok, I know I'm gonna catch some heat for this.

I had another work on your truck night with some friends [MENTION=64864]GotMo37[/MENTION]. He installed some switches and the Wired Wagon relay system into his truck. I was just doing some final touches to the dual battery system and some other odds and ends. I have a lot of dinoc left over because I never did do my roof before I installed my GOBI way back in the day.

So, I decided (with some serious pushing from GotMo) that why not do something a little different.
First, lets prep

And then let's apply

And a day shot

It probably won't stay on but why not have a little change.
 
I like it! Why not be different? I didn't realize you guys did vinyl as well. Maybe one of these days when I am back home for a visit I'll have you wrap my hood
 
I started to feel inadequate in the lighting department with all the E Series installs we've been doing. So.....40" SR out, 40" E in!

And time to get ready for the season! RTT and awning back on.
