Pictures of the Mods as I have worked my way through them: (You will see multiple different set ups here as this build is more of a time line. You will notice that in the early pics there is a PRG advanced kit and then further down there is pics of the titan swap etc. If you want to see a list of what is currently in the vehicle, just look above this at the mods list. That list is continually updated but these pics are kept as a sort of timeline so you can see the stages in which the truck has been built.

If you scroll down a few more images you'll see the new wiring diagram. I have not shown the diagram for the pins on the switches but the standard wiring layout should be there. My reason for changing everything up was two part. First, I didn't use the lights I had planned on, I bought LEDs instead. The LEDs draw about HALF the power I was using to run any other light combos and put out twice the light coverage so the decision was easy. Secondly, I had to change all my switches because I needed to run more accessories but didn't have enough switch space to do it so I converted all the switches to SPDT and can now run two things off each switch.

New to me M226:
This axle popped up at a junk yard near my house. It came out of a 2011 Pro4X with less than 1k miles on it and the Xterra that donated it was actually totalled due to a tree falling on it so I snatched this thing up.
Here is a How-to: I did on installing the axle as well as wiring the locker

Tom Woods custom driveshaft: Double Cardan at the transfer case end and a U joint at the diff end to replace that CV joint



Updated Wiring Diagram:
This includes or updates almost all the wiring you'll see in the previous two diagrams a few pictures back. Each has it's own details but this should be the most complete
Hopefully it isn't to small. There are two things that are slightly off with this diagram. You'll notice I used SPDT (Single Pull Double Throw) switches in the diagram. That is correct since I used these to act as more switches. I only had 4 spots for switches, in this manner I basically have 8 switches but I can only have 4 on at a time. The problem though is that this software doesn't show SPDT switches as ON/OFF/ON it shows them as ON/ON but you get the point. Secondly, I showed the Electronic Locker as a relay because it allowed me to show the indicator light. The locker is basically a solenoid. When the solenoid is activated it closes the switch for the indicator light which is actually alot like a relay works so for the purpose of examples it worked well.
If anyone can't read the image, please PM me and I'll send you a link that you can zoom in on and what not.
