That is a beautiful dog. We lost our good boy almost a year ago, but it still feels like yesterday.

They are stainless duct worm clamps, bandaids for the poor muffler falling apart from corrosion.

What winch is this one? Where is the control solenoid mounted and how is it controlled?

For what it's worth, I used a G55 tranny cooler mount to relocate my cooler to fit the bumper that CBI Offroad Fab made me. This was a custom build that I'm sure they could adapt for you and tweak it to your liking. They have done several projects for me and I have been very happy with them and especially this project.

Just made a simple bracket between the coolant reservoir and the air intake on the passenger side.

I finally got the rack lights wired up. I removed the CD changer and built a removable plate with all of the components on it. Two plugs and the whole thing comes out.

quick picture of the front rack light....I need to get more of the side and rear lights....

Also nice to know that there are lots of rich soccer mom rigs waiting in the wings.

I'd love a current model twin turbo G550 in about 15-20 years

nice work!
I have may question (as I am installing rack lights in the front and in the rear and backup lights...)!
How and where did you route the power supply for the front light bar?
what gauge did you use?
how do you control everything (I have seen 4 relays and a remote?)?

greetings,
Malte

I built a wiring harness that runs up the back of the truck, tucked into the rear ladder. Wire gauge is 14 to the lights. They are controlled via a remote RF (radio frequency) fob. The black enclosed box in the picture above is the 4-channel RF controller.
