Hi everyone, quick update from my end:
1. Solar panel & dual battery systems installed after the undercarriage cradle with the aux lifeline 105A AGM deep cycle marine battery was mounted, along with a dual battery monitor and solar panel mounted inside.
2. Fridge connection hard wired
3. Flag...
I noticed on my cross member that there are 4 horizontal reinforced holes going front to back that seem to be like a perfect mount for the hitch along with the 2 that the Curt uses but I guess it becomes much sturdier...any thoughts on why these weren't used?
Thanks! Today the truck is undergoing Solar system wiring, dual battery wiring, and other electrical work (monitors in cab)...tomorrow air system plumbing and wiring, and rear work light as well. If the suspension arrives tonight we'll install it tomorrow to hopefully...
Cradle in 6mm in the making for the battery and air tank...still some key mounts and side heat protection 2mm (Battery will be wrapped in heat shield as well)...
More to come on this...hoping to get the Solar system set up tomorrow...

Methods came in Thursday night so fitted today with 315/70-17 BFG ATKO2
No Lift for a week until it arrives but no rubbing turning lock to lock and normal driving with some big speed bumps and such...im liking the low look...but the rear springs are being challenged with...
i has a system like that - pretty cool. But I don’t like having a finite amount of air when I go for multiple days, and rely on a big volume of usage

Front spot lights (BD)
OBA (Extreme Outback)
Rear work light
open
Off my Auxiliary deep cycle batter I will have my fridge, water pump (for shower), rear...
Tent is now painted to match and solar panel will be glued on with special glue in the coming couple of days. Also quick release for the FAK Pelican box will be mounted on the passenger bedside.
