I ended up doing more work under the hood than I thought I would. I was planning on not even having to touch the engine portion of the harness but it ended up being in the way of mounting the stock coil back in the stock location. That was fine since I ended up redoing every ground..

So I ended up pulling every strand of wire and revamping every circuit. I also pulled all the toy relays and used the same relay for everything. When you are used to domestic vehicles this toy stuff throws ya for a little loop since toyota will toggle the ground side on the switch's (vs toggle the power on most domestics) but it does make using the switch's to control a relay simple and still use a single fused circuit for relay control(I like to keep that principal idea on my wire ups).

But I ended up getting the driver side all finished up.

Time for the new switch panel--again going with simplification plus I have always wanted to use these style of switch's. I also made the panel removable since that hole is the best method for getting into the center of the dash.

But I made them color coded so I can easily remember them (blue for air, green for exterior lights, yellow for dash and red for fan shut down)..

Before I also used the battery light in the dash for the check engine lamp and went with a dedicated lamp in the switch panel.

And the last piece of the puzzle installed..

I also replaced both optima's since they were dead finally after 6 years and ran her hot. I did some hot laps down the road and it truly runs much smoother now.

I've been pulling cable art for 20 years in telco and networking. You sir take it to a new level of art. I appreciate your attention to the task.
 
I always like to follow your build threads and remember the other build thread from the old site! It motivated me to work on my trucks and clean some things up on them.

We need to get you a flush zip tie cutter for your birthday! :D
 
They are an awesome tool! I never knew they existed until I worked at Genie and used one all day long.

I bought one at Panduit years ago but you can find them a lot cheaper.
 
With a nice set of regular side cutters, you can cut them flush easily with just a little practice...I personally don't see the need...And believe me, I have to use ALOT of zip ties at work... and P-clamps!
 
My old skool TR's are beat to FAWK but still holding up and---air :fawkdancesmiley:

Back when I built the rig I had the d44. When I built the pro-rock 60 I didn't change the link lengths so the front got pushed forward and the 38's barely rubber the front bumper cross support. I knew there would be a clearance issue. I am glad I got my ramp moved from the other shop..

Time for an end of my bat wing bumper... I also had to lop off some of the fender and the area outside the headlamp.

Now this is all temp as the front will be getting redone in phase 2 of the rebuild.

you happen to use any glue on the inner bead?

Never had any inner bead problems except at like 1psi going fast in deep snow ruts. If I did pop a bead I just had to throw air to it and it would pop back on.

I ran them at 3 on sunday and seemed to hold up--time will tell I guess...
 
I will say I was extremely pleased with the new meats..

So I am prepping for phase 1 of the rebuild which will be focusing on safety.

I ordered 2 new PRP seats.
I will be reworking the cage and going with a tin top.

New windshield.

I still gotta look at new belts as mine are showing signs of age.
 
Looks very good!
What size are the new Iroks?

I like the twin Wilwoods.
Soak the seals in brake fluid for a few days though as I have had three new Wilwood masters in the last two years that wouldn't build pressure.
