[QUOTE="RyanFelish, post: 1085828, member: 20930"] Okay, some updates: While I was waiting for the front kit to be built, I worked on my bed. [IMG]https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16473788_10205853296531905_2343190886472068050_n.jpg?oh=107b8a0e42dc9087dd2ee95572224396&oe=596AFCC8[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16603071_10205863384744104_7300190786840618210_n.jpg?oh=ba7006201d6e82ed39b385b295f79820&oe=59739317[/IMG] Now my Fiberwerx install is done in the rear. I started working on a place to mount my compressor. The factory locker switch will work to engage the locker, however I also have an override button if I want. I will also have a 3 gallon tank capable of filling tires. This will have its own solenoid that will open or close airflow TO the tank. That way I don't have to wait for the tank to fill up if I want to only use my locker.
