Followed the harness for the license plate light then up and over the frame rails with the oem harness up to the front where there is an access grommit under the driver's side carpet. Not that hard, just took forever. I may have to pull it all back through as I want to do the spare removal kit and not sure I want to cut and splice the wires as they will be constantly exposed to dirt/moisture.

Nice and clean. Just in time for more salt on the roads.

@%$@!% Salt.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that suffered that route!

I ended up running a 1-inch flex tube from front to rear. Inside is the rear cam s-video cable, power cables for the rear winch connector and a 12v switched line (couldn't find one in the back of the truck).

I have a flew splices in the camera wiring so I hear your concerns about moisture and dirt. The splices were soldered and then sealed in shrink tube with a coat of RTV silicone around the tube edges/ends. At least I think they're sealed.

I think taht we use that mag chloride crap here. It is nasty on chrome surfaces!!

dual optimas are you runnin a crazy stereo system? if so was the battery enough or did you mess with the alternator? i think i need to rewind mine or get a bigger one if you have any suggestions.

Please post some pics of the front laser shifters. I can't see them in the pics.

The front shifters are just below the black plastic cover with the holes in it. They are mounted to the top of the bumper and I needed to trim the swiss cheese plastic to clear them; will post a pic in next few days.

Definitely going to be driving some power hungry Zapco amps (about 4500 watts), but the oem alt is pretty sturdy @ 145 amps. I also work out of the truck quite a bit and something is always running or charging so don't want dead battery.

What the heck is "fissed"???! Kinda like dissed but you messed it up so it's fissed? lol

ZAPCO now your bringim back my youth! i hear they still make great amps . im personaly gonna go with JL but hey what do i know. so your gonna keep the stock alt? im only gonna run 1500 watts to 4 10" W6s and some focals in the front. but the install guy sayes we might need a new alt. im gonna try that big stinger battery first it about the size of 2 batterys.

JL is know for there subs! not amps.

no i was talkin about a alt. but he brought up zapco and it brought back old memories of that big asS EQ and the 3 piece amp.

humm this i just seen your sub inclosuer looks nice. how many watts and did you change the alt?

looks great....and awsome color choice!!!!!!
