Definitely interested in how those fans turn out - Can you take a size comparison photo inside the cab? I have no concept of large/small these are.

ok today i wired in some magnetic tow lights. They were 12v but went to skycraft and bought 24v replacment bulbs. then i wired the pigtail so it plugs in to the origonal wiring harness, NO CHOPPING WIRES HERE.

Nice job, I was wondering where you get the pigtails for the lights or did you make them? Also what make and model## on the LED lights outside as well as inside. Thanks keep the pics coming.

i bought them at a military swapmeet back in feb. They were already made. I jus soldered the wires together then heatshrink wrapped them, They were like 10 bucks a piece but well worth it. As far as the lights u can get them at any trucking place, just make sure they r 24volt..

ok i did some more work over the weekend. I installed the 3rd fan on the dash board which i forget to take a pic of:roll: i also installed 3 led red lights in the cab so that it will be nice and red inside. the pics dont do the lights justice but u get the idea. The 1st pic is under dash and 2nd pic is in center of dash next to fan, I didnt take a pic for passenger side. pic 1 says it best.

Why Two Axles? needed for weight capacity? Seems like a lot of tire scrubbing will happen in tight corners.

Look cool. Can wait to see the final product.

Your mods are looking good. It's a nice truck. I bet you are glad you didn't have to replace the floor like I had to do in mine! As far as the CAMO paint job....it reminds me of a cow. Maybe you can get a horn that moooos...rofl

Keep up the good work. :grd:
