I've been trying to think of something to do with those cables. It is actually a 12V splitter coming through that I just tuck into the glove back to power the radar detector and the power inverter for the XBOX. I need to keep access to the inverter because I only like to turn it on when Im actually using the XBOX but I like the idea about the extension. I could buy one and cut of the end and hard wire it behind the dash to the 12v plug and still tuck everything away in the glove box.

I did do the power windows and locks myself a while back. I originally used a standard universal power window kit of ebay ($70) for a couple months and was not to happy with the speed or noise so I found a place online and bought the complete oem power window regulators and motors($150). The install was a breeze (just takes a patience to squeeze the assembly in the door) and the wiring is pretty straight forward. I also ordered some small dome tweeters and chiseled out part of the plastic to mount them flush into the door where the window handle used to be. It looks pretty good IMO and its actually pretty functional. The locks are also cheap and easy if your a little savvy with electronics. I originally installed the lock actuators and an alarm system myself when I first got the truck but have since had a friend at circuit city install the remote start using the same lock actuators.

Thats awesome man, its probably me! BTW, that grill and head light combination looks great.
P.S. - Heres a video of the remote start, exhaust sound, and a little bit of the head unit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tli_AylmZsU

Xbox in the truck = kick ***.
I'd say upgrade to the 360 for cooler games but you'd probly have to get your xbox water cooled because the 360 would probly over heat in that kind of setup.

I think if you Must have nerf bars/running boards, you really should go with a set of N-Fabs. They'd look awesome with the bed rails you already have. I think the truck is turning out great!
