Reason #7 why I like to buy the factory OEM wire harnesses: you get to harvest quality automotive grade wires out of them and recoup some of your moneys
this was a grade score, 9 ten foot long wires in a variety of colors |

well that didn't look quite right without it's grille so I decided to shove the little 2.4" Nextion display in there so that at a glance we could tell how late we was gonna be to the next place we need to drive to on the account of charging this electric truck
using only the finest of scrap plastic, literally found on the side of the road: |
