That's a really nice clean install. The toggle switches look good not to big. As Abraham said what to you got the compressor if you tell me a train horn you'll have me even more jealous lol.

fwiw DON'T get train horns. I had a set of Nathan P3's under my F250 PSD and every time I honked at some idiot in a prius they would stop to see where the train was. I use long semi horns 24-27 inches. For that, they get the hell out of my way!


Should have my raptoid cap and OEM grill out of paint today!

The air compressor is for the tyres! It's mounted under the passenger side step and has an outet at the fron and rear of the chassis for ease of re-inflation, super quick too.

When the canister runs out I simply take it back to the dealer who top it up...

Got the truck back from the shop, looks awesome. Had the shop install the grille when they painted and replaced the old damaged hood. However- they did not use the two circular m5 inserts and screws- where do those go (and are they needed)? A pic would be awesome...

Also they did not wire up the lights (a bit annoyed at that, because they weren't sure if we wanted them wired to the headlights or not, Thought that would be a no brainer). Anyways, any pics of the wire splicing? How's everyone doing it? I'm thinking just soldering the wires onto the passenger headlight wires, sealing with shrink-wrap and tape. Maybe a bit of plastidip. Thanks!
