I have cleaned up the wiring, it is all tucked and /or wrapped in wire loom to hide it. I need to get my air conditioner charged up so I can run my electric fans, however I need to get a better temp sender for the e-fans. I am going to purchase the upper radiator hose splice/ sender so I get a better reading instead of the probe in the fins of the radiator.
I finally did the passenger side door pins/ bushings last week, wow that was beyond shot and I am glad I got those replaced.
I am working on wiring up an AD244 alternator. It is a 145a alternator and much much larger than the stock sized 105a alternator. With just all my lights on (including headlights) I was only getting 13.2 volts, so there's no way that running my air conditioner and electric fans the stock alternator could keep up. I got the alternator for 40% off on memorial day as a sale the pull a part does near me. My alternator came from a 2006 Envoy Denali that had the 5.3, and it is a four pin two wire setup. I am also going to do the big 3 upgrade as well, which is upgrading the charge wire to battery, engine to body ground, and body to frame ground. I seriously had to google what the big three meant, because no one explains it in their posts.
If you're interested in doing the AD244 alternator swap, here is a google link that will get you started:

I also did the front axle actuator conversion from thermal to electric. They are dorman part numbers 600-600 and 600-101. I also bought a new transfer case switch to replace the original. Instant engagement, I love it.
Small things left to do are:
Air conditioner recharge
Steering gear box change (massive oil leak at pitman arm)
steering shaft change to a u-joint style to eliminate the rag joint
new power steering lines
Larger items still on my fix it/ swap it list are:
6" lift and 35's
4:10's and a detroit locker in the back.
