First time mounting bead lock wheels. I’d say it was pretty easy. I put 3 wraps of gorilla tape on the inner beats to help with burping. They are balanced with 8oz of non biodegradable airsoft bbs in each tire.

Here is how I disabled the chime on my truck. This is my favorite free mod I’ve done. You do have to rewire some speakers so if you’re scared of changing anything on your precious truck, this isn’t for you. Here’s a video on how to do it.

Here’s (almost) all the switches I have on my truck as of now. I plan to add more soon though. I two more hidden switches under the dash that aren’t pictured. The overhead console switches are labeled. The ones on my dash behind the turn signal connect my light bars to my high beams so when the switches are activated, my light bars come on when high beams are activated. The a pillar switches are to turn on my roof mounted light bar and my emergency lights. The switches on my left side bed rail turn on my cargo lights and my air compressor.

I finished installing my Abrams Flex3 red emergency lights and a wigwag flasher for my fog lights and reverse lights. I also installed an Abrams explorer 200w siren with 2 siren speakers in the grill.
