    well got my Autometer oil pressure gauge and my ANL fuse holder and 250A fuse for the big 5 upgrade. the fuse holder is pretty nice. looks really clean. dont laugh at the solder job. all ive got is some thin solder and a weller soldering gun. tried to use my torch but all i have is MAP gas. ****en burned the **** out of the work bench and melted one of the rubber sleeves:jester: the soldering gun worked pretty damn good though. solder is nice and strong. should have it installed tomorrow if i get off work early.

    josh when you install the fuse and wire to the alternator youre going to hve to stretch the original wire longer if you are using new battery clamps like i did. if you follow the power wire down to under the truck youll see its hooked into this metal holder. i bent the holder upward and re-routed the power wire closer to the positive post. just a heads up if you cut off the older battery clamps.

    That's what I was gonna do, have a shop cut and weld them in for me, then I was gonna do the sanding and painting that way it wouldn't be as expensive.
