Problem after problem, sheesh!!! Starter is taking a crap on me now. The tailgate, eh it's going. Just going to paint that spot with gloss black and try to blend it as best as I can. Tailgate is shot anyways, it's sprung. Also got those interior lights and holy cow they're bright.

Meh. Can't blame a startmotor for going at that age. I'd be glad it lasted as long as it did. Tailgate.....sorry to hear

In search of a wiring diagram to show what colors are for what function for the 7 pin trailer connector. Wanting to hardwire an underneath tailgate light bar.

So, I am currently in the process of an LED Dash swap. I'm putting in White LED's, got all of the 194's, dash is still torn apart because I had to order a couple of t5 bulbs for the 40 to 70mph region, due to it still being green. Oh well, it looks pretty awesome, I'll show some before and after pics when I get the 37's and get everything put back together. I'm loving the blue tint to it!!

Was just reading through the thread.

The baskets should come out. When I did my fogs, they came with new ones. Three bolts in some really awkward positions, but the whole assembly will come out, lamps and all. Correction on the relay, I stated it was an AP 27 (Typo) It is indeed an EP 27 relay that you will need. Also, there are two tabs on either side of the relay cover, if I remember correctly I got a small screwdriver in there and pried it out, and the cover. My relay that I got was about an inch longer than the factory original, so the cover did not fit back onto it. Other things: Pinstripe is in the process, just need to figure out which color, headliner is most likely going to get replaced with white camo, mine is shot and I really like the white camo. https://www.lurasfabricshop.com/true...c-camo603.html
Light bar is in the making as well, just gonna get an al chepo from amazon and hope for the best. Bulbs are ordered for my cluster, may actually order more to replace a few others while it's all torn apart. Maybe not, not 100% sure yet. Post more updates as they are coming along. Thanks everybody for following my build and supporting me the whole way, it's been long and tough.

A couple of updates. Got my dash lights in, eh they're alright. Just gotta figure how to change my switch lights so they turn out to be the same color. The footwell lights, they're bright.

Another update. I went to the junk yard and got a fusebox AND GEM for free. Also took some time and robbed an automatic headlight setup, the auto headlights are great. Still having window/interior lights/door ajar problems, currently working on that. Haven't yet replaced the GEM. But for free, that was a great steal. I'm stoked haha.
