luckily heath (intrepid) has done this before so he guided me as i did it... not a bad install at all... tough to put a time on it since i made some mistakes and redid some parts of it as a result... but it came out great.

If you weren't living in downtown, I'd tell you to get a compressor and some air tools to save your hands.

Looks great by the way.

bob: as you probably know, it comes with spade connectors... but steve (whos garage we were at) had shrinkwrap ended connectors. he used a propane torch to heat the ends down, but that may not have been a good move as some of them split

so i wrapped them in electrical tape and ziptied the excess up and out of the way.

Looking good Lee. I just got my t15 in and i'll be doing some mods to it next week and hopefully have it mounted here soon.

The 17 came out looking real nice and clean on your truck, congrats!

for the east coast, i think its much better to solder the connection and use heat shrink tubing. that electrical tape will come undone.

...damn i'm glad i dont live those conditions anymore

Looks good Lee. Go ahead and pull those cheesy stickers off because the first time you wash it they will blow off and be forever lost! (Although I was able to find mine)lol
