Love every bit of this
Again...Great job! Do you just have an empty pin on some of those connectors (switch positions 1-4 that are only 1 wire)?
On my Switch-Pro i just have a bunch of loose wires, and those that are connected I just did spade connectors . I’d like to clean it up with proper connectors like this though!
That’s a nice setup with the switch panel. ImNot having to worry about trying to find a ground point makes wiring so much easier! Here is the harness I made for the squadron fogs. It goes from a 4pin plug to two 2pins triggered from button 7.

I like it! Nice work, Im a big fan of clean wiring!That’s a nice setup with the switch panel. Im
On the poverty tradesman status so My truck didn’t have fog lights and I chose to wire my squadrons up on a harness I made with a relay getting signal from the parking lights.
I get them from either amazon or wirecare.com depending on how fast I need them or connector size I need. Amazon actually had a good crimper set made by IWISS its reasonably priced and gets the job done. The most important thing about the connectors is to get solid pins, they crimp much better. The awesome things about Deutsch is you can move the pins to larger connectors with ease, the pins contact better, they dont pull apart as easy, and the weather seals are better.Very professional job.
Where do you buy your deutsch connectors/pins from? Any recommendation on crimp tool? The deutsch crimp tools I’ve seen are crazy expensive.
I have used weatherpack connectors before but they are big and clunky in comparison.
Where did you get the Firewall pass through via balder gland from as I cannot find any info on that unit.I mentioned it briefly above, but to continue the discussion on air install, I use a Switch Pros to actuate the solenoids to inflate and deflate the airbags
to inflate turn on the compressor (air) and hit the up arrow (opens up solenoid 1 and 2) , to deflate hit the down arrow (turns off air, and actuates solenoids 1,2 and 3). Air is exhausted through solenoid 3.

Firewall pass through via balder gland, I love using these since I can easily add more wires for future needs and keeps it water tight

To make for easy connections to future accessories I made a custom harness with deutsch connector for easy plug and play

I can’t speak for what he used, but myself and others have used this daystar grommet.Where did you get the Firewall pass through via balder gland from as I cannot find any info on that unit.
Do you remember what size you purchased or part #?They compress around the cable wires when tightened. You can loosen to add more wire in the future.

PG19 is the size, you can go smaller pg12 or pg9 which allows you to thread the nut to the cable gland before re-installing the plate. Otherwise you have to install the plate then tighten the nut from the cabin.Do you remember what size you purchased or part #?
Thanks you for the info, I've been kicking around ordering a new 2022 Diesel to replace my 2019 Diesel as my TRX order in April fell apart as soon as it hit the dealers lot and have been getting pricing from Sandi but a Power Wagon has always been on my mind. With those air bag setup what do you plan on towing or loading for them as the low payload numbers has always had me worried on the Power Wagon. I love all the features of the Power Wagon except mpg and no AUX switches, it's the only HD they don't offer Aux switches on as you would think they would.PG19 is the size, you can go smaller pg12 or pg9 which allows you to thread the nut to the cable gland before re-installing the plate.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm really happy with the Wirefy crimper I got off of Amazon. The tool is solid and the ratcheting action makes it super easy to crimp things. The best part is they have multiple crimping dies that you can swap in to crimp just about any connector type you can imagine. About $35 for the tool with one die and $17 per additional die as you need them... it's a pretty nice system.Very professional job.

Thank you for the kind words! Modding is definitely an obsession and I cant stay idle for long. +1 on those crimpers I have a similar set for butt connectors, etc…nothing like have a proper set of tools for the job at hand!I don't even have a PW (thinking about trading in my Gladiator for one though), but I comment on the very clean install you have done here. I love it when other people obsess with the details as much as me.
