Jeezus!!!!
I've actually started to clean it cuz things are wrapping up. I've got about 700 lbs of scrap steel to turn in, all the loose nuts and bolts are put away and I still have to find a home for a bunch of other crap, got a bunch of crap I'm gonna try and peddle at Georg's swap meet... Can't wait to see my work bench again!!
As for the puddle under the rig.... I've got that covered!! I lazed out on putting some gasket maker on the 4l60e-203 adapter and that bitch is leaking and leaving a nice puddle that is causing my OCD to go into a tail spin!!! That means I'm gonna have to pull that FUGGIN trans tunnel again and drop the t case again to get to it....
It's a mess!!! :)
Btw... My dad did the same crap to me when I was a kid w homework!!
I got the "rolling eyes" routine last night while lecturing. Lil bastard!!

Yeup!
Actually did a scab wiring of the stereo and speakers just to hear it, which was kinda fun!!
Picked up another set of 6x6 in speakers for the doors too.
 
Nice, like the idea up and out of the way:clap:.

they look good... just remember if they are steel you will need to put something in them to keep them from resonating....

Www.ecolightled.com

Espressomon turned me on to these LED light strips.
They are flexible and use a 3m adhesive to stick into place. FU@KING AWESOME PRODUCT!!!
I got mine in a 4 foot section, that I cut apart into 3 pieces. The idea is to stick the strips onto the roll cage as map lights and cargo area lights. I got 3 switches that I am in the process of wiring in... I'll be putting two switches on the center console ( pass and driver ) and one at the rear of the rig forth cargo area.

I'll get some pics up later today when I get em all installed. So excited about this lil mod.

Thanks espresso for the tip!!

That is really slick! I can think of a bunch of ways I'd use that product.

Can't wait to see some pictures showing how bright they are.
 
FUGGIN A!!!! these thing are so rad!!! Kinda hard to tell w/ my crappy I phone camera, but just look at how well the seat area is lit up!!!

First pic is w/ the garage door shut and dark. Only light you see is the led lights.

Second. Is just the lights on a garage door open

Last are the switches on the front of the center console for the lights.

I was SHOCKED at how bright those things are. It lit up the whole garage.
I'm thinking of all these other applications for em too on the rig. The fact that you can just STICK EM on basically anywhere makes them very versatile and easy to use.
 
Put some under the dash to light the floor ?? I wanted to put strip LED's in the rail on the hardtop to light up the headliner so the whole truck will glow :D
