I decided to put the push plates on myself. save myself some money local place wanted $250 to install just the plates. Took me a few hours and had to buy the bolt kit for it .. darn $80 for a bag of bolts lol.. most of the time it took to install was the stupid cordless drill running out of juice every 3 holes i drilled in the frame.. needed 8 holes total.

yesterday i picked up the harness and fishstick controller for $470 and had a friend help me install it at his garage for $40

we swapped a couple plugs and ended up blowing my low beams lol but couple new bulbs and a fuse and we were good to go :)

we are supposed to drive to VT tomorrow to pick up the plow .. getting a 7'6" MM2 RD .. trading a brand new macbook for it. (got the macbook in a craigslist trade.. have $550 into it)

so piecing it all together i have a total cost of

380+470+550+40=1440 I really didnt think i was gonna end up with the complete setup this cheap. a new mm2 is like $4500 complete :) I love craigslist lol

i wanted to get the harness and plates installed asap so i could test the plow I am getting.. dont want to end up with something broken :)
