Thanks!

Today I got some wire protector on and found a spot for the switch.



Looks better now.



Put more of the wire protector on under the hood.



I also found this 10 awg wire under the hood, probably something the previous owner had . Just have to find out where it goes to...



Here is where I put the switch, its the green one.

Thanks, I wanted them out of the way but still easy to get at so I though that was a good place.

I have seen a few people on here with marker lights on the top luggage rack, I liked the look of them so I put some on today.
I have them so they only come on when my park or night lights are on.



They are 12" amber led strips that you can cut to size, I used the full 12" on both.
They come with a double sided tape from 3M but I put two zip ties on just in case, they are on good and don't move at all.



Here are them on during the day, I like the look of them.



And at night, they look more orange in person.

So for the past week I have been looking for rust and sanding/painting it.

Then I noticed that there was some oil on the ground, I looked for the source and it seems to be from my rear shock...



I have been looking around for shocks and I think I will get the rancho rs5000.

Then I wen't to go check my fluids and saw that the battery looked like it was sitting low.



Turns out a bolt is missing on the battery tray... I used another bolt I had and it seems pretty good now.

I will be fixing up more rust spots and be getting shocks soon.

Today I painted the receiver.



It was starting to rust so I thought it was about time it should be painted.



I also got some rancho rs5000's for the rear coming this week, I will replace the front shocks later.
