I also decided that the backup lights I had moved to the muffler bolts were in the wrong place, looked like crap, shook, and caused the muffler to squeak more.
So I grabbed some white rock lights, to copy
@Koda or
@sugarray and put them on the corners of the bed. Then I realized I’d have to feed the wires through the plastic and around and they’d get covered with mud.
They came with a roll bar base, so I just bolted them directly to the bar the bed pivots around.
A lot cleaner than the cubes and maybe I won’t be blinding people who are behind me as much like I did with the cubes mounted to the muffler.
Seeing that the rock lights came with a roll bar base, I went ahead and ordered a pair of red one to use for dome lights the LED strips I had were low quality, one stopped working on the Overland trip, harsh white light and killed your night vision, and they kept peeling off the roof. Bolted these directly to the ROPS using nutcerts, they are MUCH easier on the eyes at night. Just need to pick up soldering iron tip so I can get them permanent wired in.
I may pick up a few more of these for actual rock lights, I’m going to clean up the wiring under the hood as well as run wire to the rear winch location for feed and control, and wires to the location I think I am going to install the PCV so I can swap fuel between two maps on the fly, since I'll have everything apart anyway. Going to rearrange my switches in the panel since I was hitting ones I didn't want to hit while trying to turn the light bar off to keep from blinding people, as well as add ones for the rock lights, hardwired VIRB power, rear winch, and a way to chose which winch the wireless remote will control. Since the RAM mount is coming off the dash I’ll have more space to put the switches in a new switch bezel I ordered from
@mystic1219.
