I see these trucks as a say a Hot Rod or any other custom car / motorcycle / etc. They are to be built, modified, and maintained to the owners digression. What's the 1st thing a Harley-Davidson owner does when he gets his new bike home from the dealer ? Takes off the ugly ass reflectors on his...

Never been a fan of them so I ditched them. I added marker lights ala a civilian Hummer H1 so my truck is more then noticeable.

Starting to prep the truck for paint so I decided to start the ever so fun task of plugging all these random holes on the truck. wanted something that looked factory and would last so the plastic plug route wasn't a option. Decided to go with some carriage bolts in various sizes to resemble the...

Looks good. Any pics of it in the truck mounted ?

I have a race car style battery disconnect swtich in my Humvee from Flamming River. Have it mounted under the drivers seat towards the trans tunnel.

Nope, The gauge sits flush in the dash as you can see below..

I installed my tach in place (general area) of the stock air filter gauge (which never worked anyways). Clean, easy to read while driving, etc...

What exactly does a Solarizer do to be exact ? I was under the assumption that it was a solar powered battery maintainer..
