How are you guys going to wire it? was the orriginal harness in good enuf shape to cary over ? I put a AAW harness in mine and have nuthing but good things to say abt it .

Keep up the great work .

Thanks 6BT! We're anxious to put it to work (and play)...like, yesterday already! We were hoping end of summer, but that's kinda here...now maybe, by Christmas?? We will rewire the truck ourselves (my son enjoys it )...not too much going on that's complicated. We stripped out all the stock wiring...not worth fooling with.

Yea, kinda fell into place...tape measure said it would fit, just not how.

Thank you Jeff, your kind words don't fall on deaf ears.

Thanks CD!


Dimpled up a strip of 16 ga. and welded it into the step of the latch panel to cover the top of the radiator, was hoping to get it smooth enough to not need any filler...gonna need a bit of a skim coat though.
