How did the gas cap secure? Good looking build so far.
Thanks!
Hmmm, not sure about the pics, they look right to me? I will have more pics this weekend, as I am still buying more parts as we speak. The gas cap is a simple thing, it basically just clips in with 4 tabs. Toughest part was plugging the little nipple that's hooked to the gas cap cord back in. Stubborn little bastard, lol.

Bussmann relay box arrived today. Highly impressed, should work like a champ. Gonna hopefully get the wiring done on the switches tonight, along w/ some quick connect speed cables to run from the cab to the under cowl area. It's starting to come together.







I really like that the wires are techflexed, heatshrunk, and labeled. Guy did a hell of a job, very professional look, and quick shipping too.

Na, you are right, I'm on my phone now and some of them are upside down. I dunno what the hell is going on, not sure how to fix that?

Got in the new mirrors and pegs Yesterday....so, DOORS OFF finally!









Then it was time to get to work again, panel got wired up first. I made quick connects for if I ever need to remove the panel to service it. Weatherproof connections, solder, heatshrink, and cable ties. That should hold it..




The result of that fun, lol










The switches are backlit green when headlights come on, and they are hooked up to dim w/ the factory dimmer. The other side of the switch w/ the picture has an amber LED when activated. Really digging them

Lights are hooked up, and man are they bright. No night shots yet, I just finished this afternoon. Compressor and 50" light bar are next, but I am having to head home for a week or so for a family illness, so it may be a bit.









That's all for now, gonna go enjoy her a bit
