I can't fathom putting another thing through my firewall and hiding it behind my dash and the amp controller is fully waterproof so I decided to mount the controller and my waterproof relays (positive trigger to negative) on the aux tank strap holder. Should keep it out of the way keep the wiring clean. I already have power, ground and door triggers in this area from my aux transfer pump and interior LED's. Off to powder coat, then I will wire the whole system up.

Steps got cut down to 38" without the caps.

When you get those amp steps all mounted up I would appreciate a pic of how they ended up fitting under there.

Wired and ready to install, I hope this mount works, it sort of looks like it was designed to hold it. Plus it was a pain to wire and make it look tidy.

2nd hardest decision of my build. Just after picking a paint color, especially white. Powder coat black or leave my bead blasted stainless faux icon grill the way it is. I think I will wait till my build is done to make the decision.

Dash version 3.0 is done. I am so happy with the billet, turned knobs and stereo choice. It really came together.

Definitely leave it as is. Adds needed contrast. Imho which I obviously don't hesitate to give. Btw, The white looks fantastic!

Duffy, I noticed all the Phillips head screws in your dash have the heads oriented exactly the same. Good job!

Dash looks great and as for the Grille, I would leave it as is as well. Looks really good! ;D
