Funny how much of a difference things like that make. Keep up the great work.

Thanks guys, I don't have much of a truck update right now. But i did however get a new tool box to house my tools 
and have the last of the stuff on the way to get my second battery under hood wired, holiday sales picked up a couple of NorthStar AGM batteries, plus the last of the stuff to wire the second one. Hopefully get that wired in this weekend and start relocating my amp rack under the back seat.
Not to bad for a $100 harbor freight sale. My tools may be cheap but haven't let me down yet.

Made some progress over the holidays, I got my batteries a couple of weeks ago and some 1/0 from GP Audio, under 5 dollars a foot on sale this holiday season, some lugs, and a couple of fuses also from GP, and some side mount battery post for my new under hood battery.
Second Battery under hood, mounted up and cables ran.
Also added ground from Engine Block to battery, and new power from alt, to battery (300amp fuse).
I need to clean it up a tad bit and get a clean frame to battery ran. I may order and change to bolt down style terminal off the main battery i think i can trust them more and cable management may be a tad easier.
Also made some progress with my entertainment system, got my power, and relay box wired up to take my 12volts down to 5 volts for the pi, getting it configured and ready to install in the truck.

4 channel AMP, in =) blew the JL and replaced it with a 800/4 Crescendo S4. Really liking it drives the cheap pioneer 6.5s really well. Waiting on some Oversized 1/0 lugs so I can clean up some cabling.

haven't had a lot of time to work on truck but I did get a center console for my truck, order some wire, and supplies so I can work on replacing bottom cubby with a single din. Once I have that moved I can work on installing the Android Auto, Rpi3 computer. slowly but surely getting there
Console looks to be in great shape. Where'd you find it?
