Nice work, Matt! I still have to install my Stebel that I removed from my C50T before trading it in. I like the mounting position of your fuse block better than mine. I had that darned emissions canister to deal with.

Not to be nosy, but what is the gray device to the rear of the left side box that is mounted underneath the top edge with the 2 black wires leading to it? Garage door opener?

Thanks CJ...and Yes, it's a garage door opener. I went back and modified my pics to identify... sorry about that!!! I wasn't sure the fuse panel would fit..once I figured out yours was different w/ the emissions canister and such.... but it turned out nice. You've got the get your air horn installed!!!!! I've used mine a couple of times already and I love watching people's faces when I hit it!!! I used the old horn mounting bracket for the relay and used a different screw to hang the horn outside the frame. It's nice and tight...so I don't have as long as I don't try and out do Dan...and jump a canyon or something... it shouldn't have any problems. LOL!

Wiring is not my thing, but is it necessary to fit the relay, cant you just use the wires to the existing horn??

It will work...just not for long and the repair will be costly... The reason is the stock horn switch cannot handle the amps. It will blow eventually....at least that's what aaaalllllllllll the pages say. They provide a relay when you buy the horn... and if I can do it... ANYBODY can!!! I really was thinking about taking it to someobody to have all the work done...but I knew that they would not be as meticulous as me...and if something ever happened, I wanted to know how to fix it. So I decided to just bite the bullet and give it a try. It's not that bad once you get into it. To be honest...the hardest part was when I wired up the fuse panel to the +pos+ side of the battery... the damn post screw and nut combination was a JOKE!!! That's definately something I think MawKaw needs to change!!! strait posts or screw in batterys or something...but that will definately be changed if/when I have to replace the battery!

Very nice Matt. My wife keeps the door opener in her jacket. She really liked the relocated button.
After asking what she would put in her jacket pocket... she said "Skittles!"

Jusmatt,
I like the installation . I set my Stuebel a little further in towards the frame. I thought it might get in the way of my big foot shifting.
I really like the opener install. Thats the best idea I've seen for it. Think I'll look for a momentary switch tomorrow and try it. looks good.

Shep
