What did you do to the X today?
If there is a logo that everyone wants to get, I am more than happy to help in its design.
X2 What all do have the switches controlling? Do you still find it a comfortable reach to use the manual lever on the trailer brake controller way down there? I use my manual lever frequently and was trying to find a better location for the controller when my F-650 dash goes in.
We need a full picture thread on this to get me motivated to finally finish mine.

I don't use my manual trailer brake lever that much. About the only hills I run while towing is the grade on the entry ramp to Laguna Seca or over the pass to LA. I'm usually loaded to the gills in the truck and my race trailer isn't that heavy with a little Datsun 240Z!
I currently have 6 SPDT switches and 3 SPST switches for a total of 15 functions. I can change the 3 SPST to SPDT and get the total to 18 functions but I didn't want to mix and match functions on a switch. I also have an extra Carling SPDT switch. If I need to I can mount it next to the empty space next to the Dashboard Power outlet.
If any of you are planning to run this many amps I HIGHLY recommend you talk to this guy: Waterproof Fuse and Relay Boxes - RFRM (10 relay) & RTMR (5 Relay) no Blue Sea/ SPOD - Tacoma World Forums
He's a Toyota Tacoma guy so don't hold it against him! From what I can tell he does excellent work!
He's building me an auxiliary 3-bus power distribution system that will mount by my E350 aux. battery capable of 200amps with 10 relays and up to 40 fuses/breakers. 1 bus for constant power with emergency shutoff switch, 1 bus for ignition-on power and a ground bus. Even then, I can't run a bunch of lights AND the winch or compressor. If I decide I need it, I'll have to run dedicated power for those so everything can be powered on at the same time...
All the wiring is run but I still haven't got my 40" LED bars mounted on the roof. And I still haven't ordered my IronCross bumpers... Have to get the roof rack modifications done first and recover from property taxes and Christmas' drain on the finances before ordering the bumpers...
Here's the current function list:
(1) ZOMBIE LIGHTS switch that turns on EVERY light!
(2) 40" LED roof light bars on the left
(2) 40" LED roof light bars on the right
(1) 40" LED roof light bar on the front
(1) 40" LED roof light bar on the back
(2) 4" LED square auxiliary backup lights
(2) 20" LED running board lights (L/R)
(4) 5.5" LED round front bumper mounted off-road lights
(2) 4" LED round front bumper mounted off-road lights
Compressor
12k lb Winch
43 qt 12v fridge
(oops, almost forgot the high idle!)
I still need to re-mount my pedal adjustment switch but I was done after a LONG day of working on the dash and repairing the overhead display.
I had planned to replace them so I ordered new doors for the overhead console (both have broken hinges) and I got one that was the wrong color and the other was for the wrong overhead console...
At least the lie-o-meter works again and can dazzle me with dreams of 20mpg and 680 mile ranges! My wife likes the outside temp gauge so she can know how cold she REALLLY is!
That depends on everyone else really. Between myself and USCG_PA we can make it happen but we need to know that it's a for real thing. Will he put the time into a design for us, I'm sure he would be more than happy to (unless he want's to be a jerk but he's not). Am I willing to make all the arrangements and set up the group buy and handle everything, of course! Am I going to start a thread and ask USCG_PA to start making badges (he's already whipped up like half a dozen just for the hell of it) when nobody is really interested, no. Once 6-8 people (not including myself) are interested I will start. Once there is serious interest I'm sure for a few thousand dollars USCG_PA will make us a nice badge template

I would prefer the OEM Style EXCURSION lettering.
Down to it something like "King of SUVs" or " The last Dinosaur"
and at the end Tge Ford Logo or/and the cuis.....
Can you do this?
Thanks in advance
As for logos, just about anything is possible, but that is also the problem... I am not about to make 100 different versions, each one because someone has a "good idea."
If Apoc makes a thread for this, then we should talk about what people would want, and then, I would be more than happy to see what is feasible.
I suggest this approach, because while some of this is easy, some of this is a huge PITA!
Actually, it was on the take my money one above. That other thread was 999
