Thanks. It's not by accident and I actually do wheel my Jeep quite a lot. I just can't stand to see everything dirty. I take a lot of time to clean things up afterwards. I have convinced myself that it runs better clean. Sort of the same theory that when a Jeep is clean it rides better.
I'll start with the Dodge V-8.
Onboard Air filter/dryer and distribution block. Vanco Hydroboost sytem
ORO AiRock ECU
ARB distribution block from Power Tanks
Filter/regulators for the ARB lockers and ORO AiRock. ARB 80-90psi & AiRock 100-110PSI OBA has a 150psi shutoff switch.
Not under the hood but I have each air regulator T'd to a gauge on my dash so I can monitor them.
SPAL stepped fan controller
York OBA w/Kilby brackets & Premier Power Welder alternator 170 amp
Again not in the engine bay but connected to the alternator. Premier Power Welder fit into the stock glove box area.
Double stack Mean Green battery tray
NW Power Products dual battery control kit.
I'm sure I have missed something but I also have a new engine going in with a different intake. Once I get everything redone I'll post some new pictures. I've ran out of room to put anything else under the hood.

That is hard core. I thought my engine bay was tight with dual batteries and a 4.0L. You really found a way to utilize all of your space Nice Job!!
I got the gauges that are in it right now from Kilby before he sold it. The web site now doesn't have 1/3 the items it use to. I'm going to install new ones this summer that are lighted so I can see them at night or use some small LED's to light them up.
I've used it 2-3 times a year to repair someone's rig and only had to use it once on my own rig. Sat and ran it for 5 hours once running grinders and drills when we were building a fence to keep people out of a area. The 110V comes in handy for a lot of stuff. Some see it as over kill but I like having it.
Plus you never know when you might want to microwave a burrito on the trail!

Oops, wrong forum, oh well enjoy my other ride. 2003 Dodge Ram HEMI.
Its like your truck is keeping up with today’s trans culture. Does it identify as a pickup truck or a muscle car?

Definitely Muscle Truck, the bed has a bedrug in it, the wife wishes I had a work truck, but that's just too bad. lol
DrDMoney: It looks like you have a spare serpentine belt stuffed under the relay box. That is a good idea that I think I am going to copy.

Yes indeed, it’s not a mod but it doesn’t take up any space and might come in handy.
First up is my O.B.A. system. which runs the lockers and can power an impact wrench. The Viair 380c pumps air down to the 3 gal aluminum tank mounted just behind the transfer case skid. Then the air comes back up to the manifold and regulator. Regulator is set at 90 psi for ARB's
Next up is my DIY SPOD and switch panel, which have been in the works for about a year and now finally finished.
What radio is under your switch panel, & how do you like the location? Shifters have decent room to wiggle around?
EDIT: as I click pic to zoom in. Same cb as me lol. Guess I'd have to swap my 4wd knob to place it there then?
EDIT again: you sure have some magical stuff going on. What's up with the Ethernet port on your switch box?

It's a Uniden Bearcat 980. Before the switch panel was added It sat back in the console within the sides. I removed the coin pocket or what ever it was in the front of the console. I can see the whole front of the radio in this spot before the switch panel install.
Relocated after switch panel install
In order for it to work in this new location, I installed a B&M Precision short throw shifter. Otherwise the shifter would hit it.
Those are USB ports for charging or powering anything that requires a USB port. They are switched on & off with the ignition key, but If I want to have continuous power to them and the 12V plug, there is a tiny rocker switch on the side I can turn on.
