that is awesome
Thanks! I highly recommend this mod if you don't have heated seats or any other buttons down there...

You better have deep pockets if you plan on using it as a daily driver! I have been averaging less than 12 mpg with about 60/40 highway/city... :D

Wow I wish I had your electrical knowledge! Awesome work, really glad to see/hear this working. I'll make a stab at it again here soon and if I get overwhelmed, I know who to hit up about it! I have the pigtail connection for it too so hopefully that will help makes things simpler.

I actually saw 14.5 on the EVIC last night over a 60 mile span. I wasn't in a hurry and kept it at 65-68 the whole time and there wasn't any wind. The EVIC has been within a 1/2 mpg (on the high side) so I was getting at least 14...

Yeaaa buddy! bad ass Morgan

Same here. Just try and fill it up before the tank gets too low. I had between an 1/8th and 1/4 tank last night and it took $90 to fill up! It doesn't seem as bad when I top off with a 1/2 tank. Luckily I have a company car that I drive most of the time so it's not a big deal. Though I do find myself driving the truck even when I don't need to because it's just so bad ass!

Badass bro!! I've been debating whether or not to do a front light bar. Next on my list is powder coating my bumpers. Hope you don't mind me jacking your idea lol. Your ride looks badass though man.

I need to quite looking at this thread because my promise to my wife that I won't buy anything else for my PW might get broken.

I'm liking the idea of using the aux switches

Not at all! Powder coating the bumpers makes it look a whole lot better. You'll need to do something with the grille too because with black bumpers the chrome grille just doesn't look good.

Awesome! Are you going to HID them? Laminx?
Might HID them in the future, we'll see... If I do it will be 3000k in the outside fogs and 5000k in the center driving lights. Probably no to the Laminx.

Ahh, just do it and beg for forgiveness. That's what I do and it's worked so far... :D

The website says it can handle 4 9" lights with ease! That's a lot of lights!
