Truck is looking awesome J.D! The new rails are deff looking great! cant wait to see more updates!

Thanks man! I think I have another 30 LEDs to wire in? plus the cab lights which are already wired, I just have to plug them in.

All I see is potential for "MORE POWER!!!"

Looking good so far. Keep going, it'll be a great build.

Thanks, I realized last night why some people just keep it simple with a few things inside the cab.....

I see the servonaut system has just as much a wiring nightmare as the MFU. speaking of which , how do all your cab lights connect to the lighting board? Is it one plug or a bunch of little plugs like the MFU? I like the sound from the servonaut system and if more user friendly may go with that on my wife's truck. I hate having to keep the shell so close to chassis when I have it opened up . I know it's more cash but I don't mind paying for something that's easier to work with over the long run.

Keep up the nice work and the pics!

Thanks! The Servonaut system is pretty much a do it yourself set up. You do have to wire in all the resistors and wire up all the LEDs, but you can have quite a few lights running off of it and its whatever you want. You might be able to look on Servonaut's website to see how the wires connect to the unit, basically you strip .25" off the wire and stick it in the corresponding holes, tighten it up and you have working lights. Ive never used the MFU but I am very pleased with Servonaut unit and I plan on buying another one soon for another project

well she is pretty much done now, except for new bumpers and rims which will hopefully be here soon Now I just need to finish up the wiring on the trailer lights and get the scaleart cylinder installed if it ever gets here....



Thanks for looking!

Let me say I saw this at Indy, and pic's doesn't do this justice. Now I have two questions...How did you mount the speaker, and where did you get the coiled wires for the trailer hook up? Thanx.

What do you mean done! you mean I won't see anymore pics of my favorite truck in the future I hope you post pics with new rims and a new video perhaps?

Oh , by the way, I haven't been in this hobby for very long but I've already learned one thing.......they are NEVER done! The last time I said mine was done , I spent another grand!

Thanks!! The speaker sits just behind the grill so all the sound comes out of the front. The wires I've been experimenting with for a while, the wire that is on there now is 2/24 speaker wire. I just wrapped the wired around a brass tube to get the coiled effect.
