Happy New Years y'all!
Few small updates to the truck.
Relocated my winch switches to the dash. Triple sticks were in the way.

ECT switch got moved to where my rear e-locker was.

Since I moved my ECT switch to where the rear e-locker was, my dad and I made a switch panel to replace the OEM clock. Turned out pretty sweet. Having access to a mill made quick work of actually getting the cutouts for the switches. Little bit of sanding with a pneumatic belt sander and the switches fit like a glove.

Changed out 2 of the rockers on my switch panel. The switch for my lights in the front bumpers and what was suppose to be my ADD switch is now the switch for my compressor.

Speaking of compressor, I got the old girl an ARB CKMA12 air compressor. Ended up bending up a whole new plate for my battery terminals and compressor. Much happier with the way this one came out compared to the last one. As per usual, I use hardware that is way overkill for the job.

The tee and air chuck are from Milton Industries. The air chuck is one of Milton's fancy high air flow fittings so maybe it'll make a difference if I'm using it to fill up my tires. I'll still primary use CO2 to air up, but I'll still use the ARB from time to time as a way to air up, but it's mainly going to be a backup source of air for now.
I really need to redo all the wiring in the engine bay. It's no rats nest of wires, but there's maybe 8 different pieces of wire loom of all different sizes shoved behind the charcoal box and stock fuse blocks. It'd be nice to get it down to maybe 2/3 pieces of wire loom, but maybe I'm asking for a bit much. Either way, it's a project for another day.
