The USB ports were pretty easy to install but keep in mind that during my planning, I added a bunch of wiring that came off my add-on fuse block and tied into my switch panel. I wanted to be able to turn off the monitor and USB ports to avoid any parasitic drain caused by the second battery monitor. The BlueSea USB charger is solid and easy to wire. The custom panel was easy to fab to with a dremel.

This was a welcome upgrade to the cockpit

There are tons of torsion key adjustment videos online. I am not sure what your question is about the three plugs under the dash?

Just pull the panel off and you can disconnect the wires. I dont remember how that was installed...screws perhaps. I did a custom fabrication for the panel as I outlined in my post.

I used one of the plugs, taped up the other wires and routed my wires in from the switch panel that I installed in the dash. The switch panel is powered from the relay panel under the hood that I wired up. I also installed a ground bus above the pedals for ease of routing and to ensure a solid ground.

How do you remove plugs?

Its been a while but I believe there is a locking ring on the back that you have to remove then the plug slides out the front. There are probably some videos online but once you figure out how to take the back off, its pretty easy.

Finally got around to:

A.) swapping the 3.42 to 4.10 diff regear.
B.) Also, tore into and upgraded the transfer case that was plaguing me for the last several months.

i found out that the old shop had installed some parts bass-ackwards which caused some parts to overheat, melt and fuse. No wonder the 4lo wouldn't engage. So with that, the only other item on my checklist is the MPFI which I hope to tear into this week before my next trip.
