I'm pretty sure it'll need a harness to connect the unit with the compressor and limit switches, but I've not gotten that far jut yet.Is that A/C set up “plug & play” or did you have to make a harness?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Please keep us, me, posted in your progress with it. I’m not a big A/C lover but it’s nice to have it when you really need it.I'm pretty sure it'll need a harness to connect the unit with the compressor and limit switches, but I've not gotten that far jut yet.
The “seals” part of your post does not get a smiley face.Since spring arrived I have added some soundproofing, replaced some cab marker lights, hardwired my beacons in, added the hanging storage bag in the cab, bought a M 105 trailer and blew out my rear CTIS seals.
Looks nice & clean!Finished installing and finished calibrating my bird's-eye view camera system. I also realized the radio rack previously located behind the passenger seat can be disassembled and reused as seat bracket adapters to fit any size seat. It just so happens to fit perfectly in either direction on the built-in seat posts! Install it the narrow direction going forward and back in case you need to position the seat more forward or back. Install it the narrow direction going left and right in case your seat is wider than the seat posts allow. Leave one corner bracket on each side to bolster to the curve of the wheel well.

This was the camera system I used, it has four cameras. The left and right cameras activate with the turn signal and the rear camera activates based on the backup light. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010I2QBF2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title.Looks nice & clean!
Bunch of questions became I have a 3 channel (3 camera system) I would like to install.
1) Do you have just the one camera or do you have 2 or 3?
2) If it’s just one for now can you add on additional cameras in the future?
3) I know there are a variety of camera systems out there - but do they record & Dave footage? Any idea how much footage they save?
Again, nice work!
I reckon you have a monitor in the cab. I’m wondering if you could access your cameras via WI-FI and your phone? Can you activate your cameras separately from the back-up circuit or turn signals? I would like a system where the cameras are always on and they record & store a more than adequate amount of footage in case of an accident. For example, within 150 miles of a 300 mile trip someone hits me & I captured it on camera. Can I download that segment or will the system save a certain amount of data?This was the camera system I used, it has four cameras.

I had to use time to lay relays to keep the signals active since the turn signals get their power from a flashing unit and there's no way to get a solid signal from the turn signals.

The camera system has a ridiculous amount of camera wire basically enough for one of those really long bendy buses. One cool feature is you can send a photo you take from a drone or a photo you got online of what your truck looks like from above and they'll send you a file to make it look like that and the bird's eye view.
Also I'm not a proponent of Amazon or cheap Chinese crap however I couldn't find these for a decent price elsewhere and I couldn't afford the ones I really wanted to get. Also I didn't want to accidentally break down my fence again like I did the first time I backed up near it!

Unfortunately this system is not so sophisticated. It does not have wireless capability. It does however output to the crappy little monitor that it comes with the via HDMI, so there might be an HDMI receiver that it could plug into that could have Wi-Fi capability. There might be systems on the market that already have that capability but I'm sure they would be much more expensive. The system shows surround view and front camera view as you're driving but each individual camera can be activated by the little remote that comes with. It saves the recording and segments and puts them on a thumb drive which you can remove that's attached to a remote cable. You can then stick that in a computer and watch them at any time. You can probably plug that USB cable into some sort of computer or wireless hard drive which you can access remotely as well.I reckon you have a monitor in the cab.

Speaking of drones, I wonder if a camera on a drone could be connected to the system in the truck? Maybe the 3rd or 4th channel in the system?
.A good update for the toolbox next to the hydraulic controls is to use this latch. Just file out the opening with the latch housing as a guide, or use a punch for the round with flat sides that the latch needs. Make sure you don't just drill a hole for the diameter of the lock barrel. I had to flatten out the lock arm and file the end of it for it to fit right. I did this update because my latch mechanism and lock tabs were flattened and twisted and ruined

Yes that's the one I got that would be nice to find a seller other than Amazon so we can stop making Jeff bezos even richer than he is!

Same for the headlight bezel.That is a fantastic idea!, And did I mention I'm extremely good at reverse engineering? Anyway I've hurt my foot and don't feel like working on my truck, at least I can stand long enough to disassemble one of those so I can start reverse engineering it
