Coastal, still would love to see some more detailed pics of your flatbed. How is the rig shaking out now that the swap been in a while and you have hopefully put some miles on it?

Wish my rig didn't have all the electronics/EMP sensitivity. .

You can add extra shielding to the critical components if you're afraid your trucks body isn't enough shielding already. It's especially easy if half of those components are already half way shielded in metal anyways. The type of EMP that could effect a car, is highly unlikely. And most likely, if you do experience it, your car is the least of your worries.
 
The U500's body is carbon fiber which I think is mostly epoxy, not enough carbon to be conductive. I could build a garage with a 14' roof that is a grounded Faraday cage....

The truck is looking pretty cool Poopy. What are the loops on the back of the deck for? Fuel can protection? Or just to make the boat rack work?

Amazing build! Interested to see how that p-pump works out.

Maybe I missed it but were you able to retain any dash functionality such as speed, tach, temp and such?
