Well, there is that. But it still won't sound "good". Lol.

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately.

Could this be a hint of what is to come. I figure with all the changes going on you might take a completely different direction.

Gotcha covered, nearly 10 feet of lift, only cost $200. But since a boat trailer doesn't have to drive through it you could get away without using 10' 2x12s.

Yeah I did. The stock radio grounds through an external grounding strap instead of using the harness. I had wired the new radio ground into the black wire on the harness which for some reason worked but shorted out the parking light fuse. Radio would still work though. Got the stock radio back in for now till I fix some issues with my home made adapter plate.

I did test the winch and nothing shorted out this time lol.
