Depending on the Sand Fire, I may have to postpone this project.

Right on Tony. As someone once posted...double check the loose nut behind the wheel. Lol. [emoji6]

Q: What exactly is the set up for the power distribution bar and your plan for it running interior accessories?

Hopefully you stay clear of the fires. It's amazing how much it's spread and still barely contained.

Want me to take care of your wiring? Lol

I plan to run 12 gage wire from the battery through the right side firewall to a fused power distribution block mounted behind the glove box. This is where I will connect the CB, race radio and, ARB fridge. A 12 gage ground wire from the battery will connect to a ground bus bar as well...

Here's a pic...

Make sure to soak your wires in water to achieve proper contact.

Tony- If you need someone to drink at your house and watch while you do most of this i am in !!

Got an early start today and cranked out the Switch-Pro install. Love the ease of install and setup!

Swith-Pro module and wiring.

Blue wire connected to the positive post in the TIPM.

Switch-Pro switch pod and compressor harnesses routed along the firewall.

Switch pod installed.

Tested the ARB compressor...works great.

Time permitting, I may attempt installing 8 Lux Lighting rock lights.

Next up...Pre install the RockHard sport cage.

MR.Ty · Jul 30, 2016

Nice job on the wiring! Cannot wait to see the cage go in!

WJCO · Jul 30, 2016

Clean install, Tony. Looks good.

Very nice Tony. [emoji106]

Good luck with the cage. It's a little tricky, but with Frank's help, we were able to do the pre install in a couple hours. An extra set of hands really helped.
