thank you I still have a lot to do machine parts for the dash, and clean up the look under the dash, headliner, upper door panels, center consol, A/C install both winches and much more

on the carpet the custom shop I deal with also does high end boats they got it for me I will try to find out the carpets name and post it

no not bright it does glow but no real light I cant see what on the floor under it in the dark
my stock dash lights gave off more light from behind the dash than the heater

Today's update
I machined a new Alum. bracket for the switch that engages the front axle it will mount in the same area as the old one it is just longer
Now I can move my Fog light switch, both heater switches, wiper switches, and the A/C switches on it also a 24v led will replace the large factory light housing so you will still have a light when the front is engaged
I installed the lower access panels on the doors

1,000,000 BTUs heat is good lol it has A/C too

lol your comment made me realize I need to get a life I got the truck Delivered on 11/18/2009 like this

it hasn't even been 2 months

lol I really need to get out more

 

[srodocker]

man so many ideas! what a great build...

 

[robr]

I didn't get as much done today as I wanted
I'm feeling a little under the weather
but I still had to work on the bob

Machined a New dash without the light holes as I will not need them with the LED wrapped gauges and the Brights indicator will also be a led

finished installing the back upper cab panel

Machined a Alum. Back window closeout trim piece and installed it ( I still need to pull out the sliding rear windows and Paint them )

Installed the new Alum. bracket for the switch that engages the front axle

got the Axe and Shovel brackets done and figured out where to install them

Installed the new LED Headlights ( I really didn't need them as I had already upgraded my headlights but I got a good Deal )
