My 5th Gen, in Progress, and a shout out to Antman

[Picklepants]

All
Been using the site for a while, finally getting around to a post, both to show some of my work and to say thanks for the help. Lord knows this has been more of a challenge that working on my 92 PU!

So this is the armor:

And the winch:

And the Camelback Rack and Gobi ladder

CB install. Firestik in bumper, routed back through firewall, along central console, and plumbed up into console compartment.

I put in a front video by wiring it into the overhead console. The stepdown transformer that normally goes into the cig lighter was rewired (easy soldering) and attached to windshield with 3M industrial 2 sided sticky stuff. Words of advice: don't be a dummy and try to wire the camera charger straight into the console wiring ($60 wasted )

And the latest is an effort to get ready for some wiring. Following Antman's example, I used some cutting board as a base for a BlueSea fuse block. I fancied it up a bit by putting in a pair of heavy duty breakers and relays, one for now and one for when a second fuse block goes in. One question now is where to link the ignition on wire to? (why do I have relays you ask? Because I have little kids who like to turn switches when I am not in the truck.)
