All the inside wires have been cleaned up already, these pics were taken before i had a chance to do it. The ones on the lights i was not worried about since i figured they would come off anyways.

And so far the hoses have yet to get dirty enough where i can't clean them off. At some point they will but oh well costs me $5 and a few mins.

And nope, no curb feelers!

As for the amps and such, if anyone has a bright idea as to where to move them let me know. The driver seat already has the main one and the pass has a rear heater so there is no room. can't put iton th erear seats due to needing to be able to hual things with them down. Any other place i don't know about?

Well the underbody ones don't come on but once a month so i am not worried about them really. the radio would be a much bigger problem, so i make sure to never do it close to home ect...

And a good securty system is one of the next things on my list, i just need to find out how hard it is to install it...

Well other than buying the truck at $9600 i have spent about ~$2000 on it but it has about $3500 worth of stuff on it. Most of what i spent was on tune up parts and the like. then the radio was the biggest thing.

All the underbody and inside lights are the same style. They are all 7 million color LED light kits. They can change color and dance around the truck to the music ect... Looks pretty cool actually.

For me i got them wholesale due to knowing a guy but retail they are around $100 for the under body and fender lights and the inside are like $50 retail.

There are 8 tubes on the bottom of my truck and 6 inside. this is what gives it an even better look.

They do have a white setting and they are actually VERY bright and have been used for simular things. they can change to 7million colors (suppodely, not sure how though) so you can get just about any color you want.

I hope you have comprehensive insurance and not just liability. Fire hazard is the word that comes to mind, but then you could do it all over again.
