Lastly, I installed the hellroaring remote.
There is an existing grommet from the engine bay to the cab up and to the left of the pedals on the driver's side. I fished the three remote wires through this grommet and ran the cables along the back of the engine bay around the new washer bottle location and then over the top of the PS wheel well.
The hellroaring kit comes with two 3A fuses for the positive and ground leads. I decided to shorten the length of the wire between the hellroaring and the fuses for accessibility reasons. This was easy as the helroaring comes with clip-in fuse holders that makes it a breeze to customize the length.
I ran the hellroaring engine bay ground to the chassis ground that is used to for the engine ground. I uses the ECU mounting bolt in the driver's footwell to ground the in-cab remote ground.
I used Romer's idea to re-use one of the dash blanks to mount the three-way hellroaring toggle and indicator LED. All that is need is to cut open the hellroaring remote box (to not have to discconnect the remote leads) and drill out the dash blank for the toggle and LED. I found it best to use the original remote box to determine the best bit size for the blank. I did up-size the hole for the LED as the blank plastic is a bit thicker than the remote box was. This helped to bring the LED further forward in the blank.
The remote toggle and LED are easily fished with a coat hanger from below if you use the same location that I did.
