***Text continued from 2011.***

While David was working in the truck I was underneath removing what I shall politely refer to as "cowboy wiring". The trailer harness was fubared beyond belief, those extra running lights on that scaffolding were hacked into the REAR DUALLY FENDER clearance lights. There was a pair of CB antenna mounts in the front corners of the bed with ~6' of coax still attached that I removed from underneath. The driver's side coax was pinched between the fuel tank and crossmember, had to lower the tank to extract it. Additionally the monkey that installed the antenna mounts knocked some BIG holes in the bed corners and then filled them in with great gobs of silicone.

I also pulled the batteries, pulled the trays, cleaned and painted the primary tray, cleaned and made the battery cables proper, ran the wire for the temp sensor, and lots of misc things.
