My 5 Alarm Hoe

Looking all official now like a go

Nice!!

Thanks

Nice job on that custom grille work for the light bar.

Thanks, it wasn't too bad... the hardest part was getting the grille back in with the pushbar in the way

Looking all official now like a government vehicle. From the front, from the side and rear that's a different story lol
I can see drivers moving out of your way

Lol, it will look official once I throw on my emergency lights and a siren I have laying around

Most drivers move out of my way once they see a pushbar on their ass lol

As long as the weather stays nice...the mods will keep coming and my wife will stop breaking my balls about all the boxes in the house for the Hoe

I added another two 6'' led light bars to the grille...BUT...thanks to my annoying pain in the ass know it all neighbors I got distracted and cut the grille in the wrong place and had to remove the grille AGAIN fix my **** up and repaint AGAIN

As soon as I finish everything my wife calls me and tells me another big box came lol...after all this my new powder coated black mesh grille arrived

Here is where my PIA neighbor caused me more work...notice the pushbar is blocking the led's

Relocated the lights

Here's a little tip for anyone running wires through the firewall...always make sure you pull an extra cable/string so you don't have to deal with the nightmare of snaking your way through there again

Lookin good , every install can't always turn out perfect. Learn as we go, mod life!

I would think those smaller lights would look good in the fog location too.

Just make sure once the wires are through the firewall they don't chafe, and wear through the insulation. It'll cause you a headache.

Rubber grommets ftw. Worth it not to be lazy, learned my lesson the hard way when I was a young buck just starting out in the mod world.

I have a ton of led light bars left over from my old Jeep build that were never installed. I'm still contemplating wether to run fogs or not

So true! I found the best and easiest way through the firewall grommet is going in on a 45 degree angle on the lower right hand corner... should poke out near the emergency brake

Grommets should always be used when running anything electrical through metal. I learned the hard way as well when I was younger not to take the easy way out and run wires near door hinges lol

I got a lot accomplished today...finished glueing in all the blue led's for the driver/passenger doors

reflowed my entire cluster and finally got my PRND321 back...no more counting gears lol

I finished mounting the dd hu in the dash with the metro clips that came in the mail today...although this time I had to cut that metal bracket out of the way so the hu could fit, that was not fun

 

[Fosscore]

Love that blue cluster. Would match my blue steering wheel controls perfectly. Nice work.

 

[Cattivo]

I should of removed some of the plastic inside the dash to have more room for all the wire

Also had to dremel the opening to fit the hu a little bit more... only had enough for one coat of paint

 

[Tonyrodz]

Looking good! Watch that metal bracket, sharp as hell!

 

[Cattivo]

I did the auto headlight delete mod as well

Everything fit ok for now, I'm taking a few days off from mods lol...still need to finish the hvac, 4wd and headlight switch to blue led

 

[Tonyrodz]

I see a bloody knuckle dude! Bracket get you? What's up with the auto headlight delete? Never heard of that one. Just stops the headlights from coming on automatically?

Thanks brother, I've been trying to get my damn PRND321 back for a month now lol...the blue in the cluster is a lot dimmer than the door switches, maybe they seem bright since I never had any light shinning through before hand. Guess I gotta get use to them

 

[MadDogDelpho]

Good work brother! Truck keeps looking better and better.

Can't believe you only have 96,000 miles! Awesome!
