I did before but I still need to find a way to turn the mfu in and of and be able to adjust the volume.. That's the next goal.

Ok cab is pretty much closed for good now well at least i dont need to access it anymore.. I relocated the battery again to the frame rails and moved the switches for the MFU. My speaker idea didnt pan out as i kept blowing speakers so that is a little dissapointing, so i resoldered the original speaker back in. I also started the light box to hide the rack mount.

used the face for a template on the floor








I can access all controls of the mfu and its completely hidden.


Heres what i have come up with so far as i was explaining before




I still need to try to hinge it and add lights to it but it will deff hide the mount the way i thought it would

Thanks for looking!!

you mean like this?







The light bar prob wont be painted for indy as the truck is not staying this color so the less new stuff i paint the less that needs to be stripped before the new colors go on. the light bar is not fully mounted yet and just taped on for now i need to get 4 new red LEDs thast match so i can rewire it
Thanks for looking

Aaron, i like the idea of hiding the control panel. Functional, yet clean looking. And I like the box w/ the led's. Great job.

Thanks Big john! i like it cause i can just reach under the drivers side of the cab and control everything! I have the lights in the box ran off the mfu just soldered 2 more red leds to the brake lights in a series i still may throw in a resistor if needed in the future as the rear bumper is going to have 5 more lights in it...

Great job Aaron! Its been awhile since I looked at your thread. The breather assembly is pretty sweet. Good Idea for the hidden MFU controller too!

This week has been great so far with parts coming in Got my new bumper and bezels in! Russ and Lynn big Thank you!!! Awesome work guys!!






I love it!!! Now i just gotta light it up. Now im wondering if i could just cut the old fog lights off the leads and series in the 8 2v LEDs i need? i added 2 to the brake lights with no ill effect.. maybe through in a 56ohm resister or 2? My lowboy is 5 sets of 4 led/1 56ohm resistors in a series... Still need to order the new pipes, visor, and wait for one more custom part and it should be pretty much done minus new paint scheme. Anyways thanks for looking

THANKS AGAIN RUSS AND LYNN!!
