Your horsepower to weight ratio is getting better everyday.

Lol eventually it'll float on mud, and I can paddle through at idle with my M/Ts. The more weight I cut, the more I save on lift components

Finally put up my interior lights, which are actually Advance Auto bed lights (a much cheaper version of what I installed in the bed). Used 3M tape to stick 'em up, and I wired them up to my switch panel.

Here's the ground up in the driver rear corner of the cab:
Replace & Upgrade - MJ Build-forumrunner_20130505_191727.jpg

I wired the switch with a jumper to my e-fan toggle switch. I figure the LEDs and e-fan can run on the same 14ga wire without issue, saving several feet of 14ga for future use.

I also just got bit by a spider while sitting in the truck typing this.

Oh, and pictures:

LEDs are nice and bright. It's like daylight from the bench, up. The floors will also eventually be illuminated.
