Inside pretty much done
Factory locker! And power heater AWESOME feature, get your coolant warm enough for inside heat within 5 minutes, otherwise the diesel take 45 minutes to heat up to get some heat inside. It activate a Viscous heater.
AHC!

Felicitations!
Awesome build (skills that I don't have).
How many hours (there is a mention of 200 hours) do you figure you had put into the build?
Approximate/ball park figure of your cost for the swap (including both vehicles)?
