nothing special, but the one thing I wish I had was 2 cordless drill's, got real tired of swapping from a drill bit to a screwdriver bit.

Agree on the 2 drills. Some fish tape &/or line trimmer string to pull wires, painters tape to layout and protect the tower, center punch, small round file to clean up the holes in the tower, and of course the usual electrical stuff.

Thanks guys. I have 2 drills for the exact reason as you both have mentioned. A few projects ago, I was doing waaaaayyyy to much switching and it got old very fast.
Just bc I am having trouble picturing it, how are you using the fishing line to pull wires through??-Mark

A fish tape not fishing line. It's a flat thin gauge metal piece with a hook on the end for "fishing" wires through spots just like this. I'm just getting ready to put 4 sxt65's on my 05LSV as well...

BullDawg - give us the goods... did you get it all done? If you get snagged, let me know. I'd be happy to help!
And shoot me some pics of the finished setup. I'll stick you in the gallery.

They are in the electrical section at home improvement stores. I'd go for one of the smallest versions they have.
