First on my list of "to-do's" today. I disconnected the setup at the battery until I get the fuses wired in.

Just ordered new rear struts for the liftgate as it's been trying to cut my arm off at the elbow since the weather got under 30 degrees around these parts. Got the extra tall ones from Lou.

The super tall ones: Thanks 5030tinkerer

They also connected me with a replacement set for under bed access on the travel trailer. They found a set that have the same specs but 10# greater lift. Should make it easier to lift the bed and stow things next year. The old ones were 19 years old

If you had a diesel you might be able to find a Navistar International model!
