ill give it my best shot........
parts needed
-3"raceland cutout kit
-3, 3" butt joint band clamps (walker engineering) from summit
-1 3" turndown (walker engineering)
-sawzall or hack saw
- 14 mil socket for clamps
-lots a zip ties
- wire connectors and crimpers

install time 40 min



well, photo bucket and my computer are being ***-tarts

and I dunno when I will b off duty again soooo im going to describe it the best I can with key pics...

-the connector for the cutout is ziptied with about 1 foot of hanging slack to the last cross member on the transmission.
- then it runs along the inside of the frame (zip tie as needed) until the frame starts to bend up.
- there were 2 holes on my frame hat I ziptied the wire to and then it goes over the top of the frame, between the fender liner and the engine bay.
- I have a zip tie securing it to the back of the abs sensor wire that goes through the fender liner and then to the hard line behind my intake.

- from there it is secured o the small tab with a hole in it, and run to the same tab on opposite side above the brake booster


this is the passenger side

.........cutout

after you secure it to the tab above the brake booster, the wire splits, cut and separate the wires coming out of the cigarette lighter plug, (i cut about an inch behind the plug),

- those wires go to pos, and negative on the battery (it does matter wich one goes were but its not marked), i just switched it when the cut out wouldt work

-the wires with the the white connection i ran through a small slice i put in the outside of the steering boot though the fire wall

- then secured the reciever to the e- brake bracket
