From the top:<br/>Factory HID<br/>D2 XL Driving<br/>20" SR2 Hybrid Spot/Driving<br/>JW Speaker 6146 (Fogs)<br/>Outer Center: DOT/SAE D2 Fogs<br/>Inner Center: D2 Hybrid Spot




Currently have all but the D2 DOT/SAE fogs relayed in on a switch with the high beams (that will change in the near future).

Future plans include putting the JW Speakers on their own independent switch and finding something else for a "fog" to still run off of the factory switch. I also plan to put markers on the running board supports and the cap. Still trying to think of how I'm going to go about increasing the back up illumination (I just haven't committed to a back up kit yet).

I'm running an inexpensive dash cam and will share the footage at some point when I feel like narrating the lighting.

I also have an ICOM 2200 to hook up at some point. Again, I haven't committed on how I'm going to go about hooking it up to an antenna.

Do you have a 3 position switch or just a two for all your lights?

I have 3 DPDT (room for extra) and one of the regular Rigid switches.

About 20 miles in from the Cantwell side of the Denali Highway. Give or take 140 miles of mostly improved dirt road that goes between the Parks and Richardson Highways.



Susitna River Crossing - yes - that is a wooden based bridge. High water due to large amounts of rainfall during last part of July and first part of August.



Maclaren Summit - about 30 miles from the Paxson side.



Just a shot of most of our family running stock lined up. Ranger is dads runaround, next to his F350, Moms F150, mine, then kid #2 (brother) then kid #5 (brother). Not pictured are 3 other '95s, and more unfinished '72-'78 F150/250s.

Other recent projects have included the purchase of an ELM327 WiFi/Bluetooth OBDII link that I used FORScan to activate my fog lights (the 6146s) as DRLs and shut off the Lamp Outage for my front and rear signals. The Truck is running LED bulbs for almost everything now. I have a few things left to wire in, and she will be mostly done.

Coming soon are new brakes - PowerStops and Trailer Tow Mirrors. Eventually the front bumper and brush guard will go in for a sand blasting and powdercoat, as 3 Alaskan winters are starting to show their hardships in the original applications of paint and powdercoat.

I did the Denali highway last May and loved it!

Truck is looking good, I saw you on Abbot a few weeks ago but I was driving the '72 Oldsmobile convertible.

What all do you need to activate the fogs as DRL's? I would really like to do that.

I enjoyed the trip. Took the dogs and met my in-laws on the Paxson side and stayed around Tangle Lakes.

Thanks for the comment on the truck! I've seen yours and tried to eyeball the flush mounts on the front but it's always been too far away or moving too fast!

I wondered if that was you! I remember seeing it, as some of the older cars automatically catch my eye. Especially if they are in good shape! I think I've seen photos of it in some of your profile or you've mentioned it, IIRC.

Just the ELM327 WiFi/Bluetooth Dongle and the program FORScan downloaded from FORScan.org. You'll need to get the expanded license (free) to ba able to adjust things like I have.

I used the instructions from RNLCOMP to do it and found the ones for the lamp outage. Fogs as DRLs.

Here is the OBD Link that I ordered from Amazon.

Well...my truck got rear ended a while back. Goes to the Body Shop in the morning. First bid is just over $12K.

My wife was driving and was hit from behind at a stoplight by a driver not paying attention.

The other rig is an '89 S-10 Blazer and hit her at anywhere between 30-45 MPH.
