Relocated the emergency brake cables so the are not hanging under the frame.

The 1 ton air bags required some fitting, but install was reasonable since kit not for my truck.

I ran the air fills for the bags to the back bumper, on left side, so I can use right side for trailer plug.

Custom battery cable setup, with extra body & engine grounds. The less voltage drops over the truck the better and bigger in the right places counts.

Added relay block with 30 amp breakers, for the trailer lighting, backup up lighting (to be added yet) and extra's

Made a radiator, air conditioner condenser, transmission cooler protector using stretched steel cut to fit behind the grill, and painted black. To provide rock protection, turns out does not look bad either.

Added power door locks. The door handle and lock mechanism is cable, had to remove all the internal door parts to look at them. Then turns out, on latch mechanism you can actually squeeze in the bar to link the actuator. Then I mounted the actuator to the bottom of the window slide rail. Tested it and sealed it all back up. Have to admit, this was the luckiest I have been when doing a modification (normally takes way more time, something gets broken and I get cut).

The new lights and bush bar are on. I added a little 3000 pound winch to my front receiver hitch so I can get out of those spots I dont wish to be.
