[QUOTE="ScepterToad, post: 459113, member: 25142"] Got the rest of the install complete last night. Not many pictures, but between last night and the night before, I installed the actuator for the brake pedal and got everything wired and routed. Rear lights got the diodes and the power and ground done for the AF1, and the vacuum hose attached. I used the eTrailer.com videos as they are pretty good for installation. Certainly helped a lot with the rear light wiring and identification of the correct wires for the turn and brake lights. I did mount the breakaway switch to the bottom of the crash bar, which I don't like too much, but it's still higher than some of the suspension parts, so might be OK. All wires got marine grade heat shrink on them and any place I drilled a hole or got to bare metal for the ground, I painted as well. Test run this evening for a trip tomorrow. I need to get fuel in the coach so I'll drag the Jeep up there, which should give me a pretty good idea as to how it'll go. With any luck, my camera system will stay running at least til I get to the fuel station so I can watch it back there. It's only one exit up the highway, but I'd still prefer to see it while I drive. One more thing I'll do before towing is to paint mark the bolts on the bast plate so I can easily see if they move or any reason. Add another item to the checklist!
