Well I messed around an got my last thread archived. I hadn't really had time to work on my truck so not much had got done since my last update. Yesterday I wired up the overhead switches and the light bar.

The antenna switch doesn't appear to be an LED and gets hot so I am going to order a blue one (which I thought I did) on Monday. Wiring the switch was tricky because I couldn't find any info online about it. Ended up using both poles of the DPDT switch and do an X pattern on the two wire antenna controller. Now the polarity reverses depending on switch position.

For some reason the panel doesn't look level, but it is. Once I get everything buttoned up I will clean the headliner with some alcohol and get all the smudges cleaned up.

I dont have a picture yet but now the control cable to the head unit is hidden through the console and under the carpet.





The light bar works pretty good. It was the <$200 curved 52" off amazon. The local shop here sells ridgids for $1000, but there is a lot of them coming up missing off of peoples trucks. Over all I am pleased. The throw isn't insane, about the same as my high beams but it has a lot wider coverage and really light up the ditch to the side.

I got them here. It took me a while to notice it but to the side it has a field for custom text.
