[QUOTE="neginfluence04, post: 2720225, member: 2312"] Today was a very busy day. I started the day out by dropping it off and having the windows tinted. I then went to the shop and dove head first into installing a new alarm and keyless entry (pain in the ass). While installing the alarm I notice the cluster F@%# of wiring done by multiple owners over the years. I then decided to rip it all out and rewire everything. Honestly, this was a bad idea and looking back now I'm glad it's done but I will never do it again. I ripped out all the old wiring and installed new relays, new wires, zip tied everything down, and covered all the new wires in loom. I then decided to take the bumper off and go ahead and install the winch and get it all wired up. Around 1am this morning I said F#%@ it and went ahead and dove into wiring up all the LED lighting, installing the inline fuses / relays, heavier gauge wiring, and the chore of rewiring the battery switch box (worst idea ever). After one of the longest work days I've had in a while, I'm happy to report everything is wired up and working properly. As I'm coming home I noticed a Norman police officer trying to pull me over. When he came to the window he said, "where you heading?" I told him, "to CVS and then home for some much needed rest." he laughed and said, "do you know why I pulled you over?" I told him, "NOPE." he then said, "(lol) it looks like you got enough lighting on this thing to turn the night into day but not one light is on. Do me a favor and turn your headlights on." I laughed and said, "I'm sorry I'm just warn slap out and I'm heading home now to get some rest." he then handed me back my info and said, "well, drive safe and have a good night." Hopefully in the next few days the weather will clear up and I can get y'all some new pictures.
