That's the plan atleast. As long as the seats, steering and axle shafts get finished, it will be ready. The rest is moslty cosmetic or things like cutting brakes and such.

[Reckless]

Yeah, Rowdy did call dibs a while back, just not for sure where. ***

He's like my gilligan, now I just need to find us a Ginger and Mary Anne!

I gots me a Mary Anne now! Now where is your Ginger?

It's kind of acutally overwhelming somewhat. You can see the rat nest of wires I had behind the dash though, so it should be a major improvement.

That's right, you haven't met my marry anne have you???

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I am very well fed

Check out some pictures

switches

my thoughts on the switch labels:

Ignition - power to truck
Go Baby Go - propane 'choke' / high idle switch
Fan (green led) - fans 'manual on' (sensor override)
Fan (red led) - fans 'manual off' (water crossings and such)
Light em Up #1 - Headlights
Traffic - Running Lights
Rok lts - Rock Lights (duh!!!)
Light em Up #2 - flood lights
OBA - kilby

Maybe a Mrs Howell

She is so going to kick your ass.....

[DRAGOONRANCH]

what winches are you going to use?

I am just going to use the 9.5ti on the receiver hitch for now. I have been looking for ways to make 'quick' connect plugs for the controler and this is what i have found so far.

I have the Pigtail hand controler that came with the winch (and it has the little red light to indicate an overheat). I plan on splicing the two connectors into the pigtail so that the winch can be moved front to back or even onto my trialer and still be able to use the hand controler. I am going to wait on purchasing any new winches for it until I get some more money invested in land and equipment. Here are the parts I am looking at using to splice into the controler lead. (now I just need to do some research on the wiring of the controler so see what wire does what and the pbb has a bunch of nonsensical junk to sort through, may just have to call warn support.)

I may have to invest in a chainsaw to do some cutting on the bogger treads this time.
