Plow setup questions

Were suppose to get three iches up high, or so I've heard, this weekend and since I live up high it seemed an opportune time to get the plow truck setup. I got all but one of the four bolts that secure the tow hooks on removed and replaced plus two additional m11 bolts in the vacant holes behind them so the frame is good for now...

My questions are:

Would someone mind posting a picturenof their engine bay complete with minute mount wire harness? I have the headlights hooked up and the plow controller but both wire off the solenoid are red and I'm not sure which is which. I'm also unsure of how to hook up the leads that come off the controller line. Look like one may be ground, one goes to solenoid and goes to battery but not sure which is which.

Once this task is complete all that stands between the little yote and lots of snow moving is 500 lbs of ballast, chains and an amber light , all of which are in the basement. Thanks

Not a whole bunch of people run plows on these trucks.

You should be able to get the wire diagram and colors on the web site for your plow.

There are so many different ones I have no clue who makes the minute mount.

Fisher Western Meyers etc.

Yeah was able to find one. Still if anyone has a pic I'd love to see it.

I always used to see our trucks with plows and think "what a tard that guy is- get a super duty or something" . But. Now that I have the need to plow my own driveway and small section of class 4 road, all downhill, it seems perfect for the job. Already comfortable working on them and I have more than faith in Toyota front end components than I do the Americans after seeing some ofmmy friends trucks go through so many parts.
