4 gauge is rated for 70 amps at the lowest insulation. 8 gauge is rated for 40. These are by the NEC.
16 under normal circumstances 50 under extreme. Like I said I over engineer. :-p

I already ordered it Justin, had I known I would have gladly bought it from you.

I plan to run 1/0 to the fuse block then the same 4 gauge to my sub amp and ill see if I have enought 8 gauge wire to make it to my speaker amp otherwire I'll buy some 4 gauge wire rather be safe tgan sorry lol. I got 4 150A fuses for my amps is that right for the speaker amp? My sub amp takes the 150A fuse. I orders 5 feet of 0/1 gauge so I will use the left over wire to beef up the cab to frame ground. I will do the Big 3 eventually.

I'll let you know about the lights, I saw them and for that price I figured I couldn't go wrong, worst case the F150 will get them lol.

Does anyone know about Recall 09S09? It's the cruise control switch fire fix. I read it affect trucks from 90-04 but i looked up both my 04 and 95 and neither have the recall listed...I know my 04 hasn't had it done and the 95 doesn't look like its been done.

Got my LED back up lights in today! The lights are a good quality it seems and are compact as well. They have 6 CREE LEDs per light and they are a flood pattern.


Also here is a pic of my progress i have made on my 08 dash swap


I know this is not a build thread for my 95 but i put the old tires from my 04 on it today. I might start a 95 build thread, it will be slow but i will be able to track progress.

Looks great. I have seen those on Amazon and wanted to buy them but never got around to it. Id be interested in seeing the usable light.

Since I've tinted my windows the mirrors are not very useful in pitch black. And the back up camera is useless if it's raining or snowing so more light down range would help a bunch in being able to back up.

How did you fit 32s on a stock f150?

Ill see if i can get one hooked up to my battery tonight to show how bright they are.

Honestly winged it they looked like they would fit and they were the same width as the tires that were on it just taller. Once i get her running i think i may find that it hits the bumper valance.

Matt, the dash swap is looking real good, can't wait to see it finished. What's up with the tan pieces on the bottom, did you get them separate from the rest? Do you plan to repaint those pieces? It all looks good together though.

Those reverse lights look good too. I've been wanting to get some for mine as well, but not sure what. Would like to see them lit up as well.

The 95 looks great with the different tires and wheels. Its amazing how much just tires and wheels will completely change the look of a truck. Looks way better to me.

Hey Matt how's the Smittybilt receiver D-ring shackle holding up? Got any more pictures of it? I was thinking about getting one for my truck, and was wondering how it would look.

Edit: Never mind. Wow those things are bright! And look good too. Man, I think I'm going to have to get those for mine. Looks like they would make a great reverse light. Thanks for the pics.

No worries man, they are $40 now I posted a reply but I think the site went down temporarily as I posted it. I will link them tomorrow when I get back on my laptop.

For the dash I just bought the cheapest parts because I will be painting black and charcoal. I will probably paint it soon, check out my swap thread linked in my sig.

I have not been driving the truck much so the receiver has not been getting beat up but honestly it is good quality. I can see how the finish might not be great and may chip off after a while but I would definitely buy another one in a heartbeat.
