got the other trans in and all is good! but since its out of the ranger it has a high stall so I have to deal with that. but at least I can drive it now.

Next on the list is:
Adjustable supports for the light cage
Wire up the lights on the light cage
and install these guys

Nice. Those look good!

Yeah they are alot thicker than I exspected. I ordered 6 ply ones since the suspension stuff is so much heavier.

Also I'm not sure on the exhaust idea. I love the look but I also so like the idea of cutting a hole in my bed side or getting soot on the side of the truck constantly.

What do to guys think about having a bed exhaust but have it come up threw the bed cage (when I make it) and exit at a 45 and cut flush with the top of the bed?

Kind of like the bully dog dodge

That is suppose to say I love the look but also don't like ......

They do. Alot more than you would think. Probaby more than a single non vgt with a muffler

Also I'm going to try to wire up the top lights after I get the heads on one of the trucks in the shop. I'm going to wire 3 lights each up on the first 2 auxiliary switches to simplify install. Should be 27amps for 3 lights and I'm pretty sure the first 2 switches are 30 amps

First 2 are 30 amp last to are 10

The bars between the lights on the light bar should be black.

Matt, are you running a gate on your chargers? If so, is it to the downpipe or atmosphere and how is back pressure?
