When are you taking off on your trip? how long are you going "dark?"

no. i got it out of a 93 Jeep Cherokee. i don't know if i would be able to get something newer than 2000 to work in my truck. all the wiring diagrams look like they get a lot more computerized on the 2001 and newer vehicles.

That looks pretty good! Did you have to run all new wiring? Drawings?
