So, you could spend like 500 something dollars for an S-Pod thingy because you can't wire, or you could spend $65 dollars and learn to do some basic wiring. Those S-Pods do not have $500's worth of electronics in them. Sorry, it's relays and switches. There is a level of the amount I'd personally pay for ease of installation.

I've been meaning to upgrade my wiring for awhile. It was looking a tad nasty. So I spent some time cleaning things up. I also had a few new items to wire up. Such as the new Baja Designs lights and a new Yaesu ham radio.

I installed a RIGrunner 4005 to power the 12v accessories inside the truck. Not pictured, not only am I using the RIGrunner, but I used about 5 relays throughout the system. The large Anderson connector is for connecting other accessories, such as solar or my portable air compressors.

I love beautiful connectors. :)

My switch panel install, lovely OE look.

RADIO

To step up my communications game, I picked up a Yaesu FT-8900R and Larson NMO 2/70B antenna.

Hey brother could you snap some shots of where you mounted the 8900? I have an 8800 I’m debating on where to mount.

Awesome rig BTW, I’m about to pull the trigger on some of those skid plates from your buddy!

I kind of wish I could go back and update the original posts, but I can't anymore. Thought we used to be able to do that....

My truck is so far removed from the first post these days
