My LED's finally showed up. I found a Pelican box at Wally-world to use as a water resistant (after I drilled some holes) junction box. I mounted three terminal strips in it, Always hot (+), Key switched hot, and Negative. I used the power plug to energize a relay to turn an always hot into a source for the key switched hot. I wired another relay coil to a switch that is sourced by the keyed hot, but the common has an always hot powering it and heavier wire. That way my LED's are drawing off the battery through larger wires but I still go black when the key is off. It's really tight under my hood now. I mounted the box to the radiator shroud / fan guard. It shouldn't get too hot because the shroud is plastic and there's quite an air gap between it and the radiator.
Got my waterproof speakers mounted. I found some heavy rubber matting and I'm considering making my own fender flares. The new Kendas sling mud all over the place. I also bought some Honda roof mounting clips and reworked my windshield. It used to squeak when I was on a real bumpy trail. It's quieter. I put a piece of thin rubber mat between my seat and the bed to cut down on dust. The leftover mat I cut to make a no-slip bed mat. It's not really thick enough to last long, but it beats nothing. When it's not raining, I'll post some new pictures.
Anybody know any tricks for getting clay and pine straw out of my skid plates and A-arm guards before it turns to brick? I have a well and really low water pressure and it seems that only pressure and volume are the enemies of the clay.
