Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure what happened with the pics, but it won't let me edit them anymore so I'm just not gonna worry about it.

Well it's been a minute since I updated the thread, but I've been able to get a few things done in the last month. I finally finished the wiring harness for my overhead console, recovered it, and got it installed, along with a compass/temp mirror. The DIC isn't working right but I think I may have just got a wrong wire behind the radio. I also put in a 12v to 5v micro usb charger wired to ignition power near my windshield phone mount.

When I put my mirrors on, I zip tied the excess wire up but it was still a bit of a mess. So I cleaned up some of that mess and put in a grounding bar.

My passenger side headlight has had a tendency to get condensation after the rain or being washed. It usually dried out pretty quick, but one day it didn't. The housing got corroded and I hardly got any light from that side. I finally got around to replacing them and the yellowed corner lights. I also sanded my parking lights and put some clear coat on everything. Since the new headlights have a glare cap in them, I decided to try the 9011/9012 bulbs. It's made a big difference. Now I just need to do the heavy duty harness/4 high mod.

I never could get my cb to work right with the window mount antenna already on my truck, so I picked up some Firesticks. We'll see if that does the trick once I get the connector soldered onto the coax.

Graduation was earlier today and now I've about got packed up between the trailer, my truck, and my dad's truck. Gonna finish loading/organizing a few things in the morning then it's off too Montana.

First stop in Childress for gas. About 12.8 mpg running 80 mph at 2600-2700 rpm.

Lost my receipts for gas so I'm not sure about the rest of my mileage, but I did get about 14.7 from Albuquerque to somewhere in Arizona.

On another note, I started leaking brake fluid last week. Doesn't appear to be a line, so I'm pulling it apart now.

174,502 miles
