    idk i just read it last night i think it was under the cheap/ free mod list for 2nd gens. it was pretty straight forward they said use wire heavy enough for 30 amps, a 25 amp fuse and just wire it as i said. they put the outlett in one of the cubbies in the bed

    @Casper66 I'm thinking bout making a "hot bar" like my s10 has so I can tap things off that as well as a blue sea setup under the hood. That should eliminate this problem haha. My fogs are wired straight off battery to my switch (didn't have them when I bought truck) so that way I can power them from either instead of straight off battery. I'll rig something up lol thanx for the help

    I'm on solo missions more often then not. Some times I have a copilot, but it's usually just me and the dog - almost never another rig.

    Today I turned around before it started to get deep because I was on a different mission (bear hunting), but I couldn't resist driving up to see how far down the snow still is.



    Next one's a month or so old - if you look under the picnic table, you'll see the snow is way beyond frame deep.



    Both pics are at least 15 miles from pavement and much farther from any town. Some of my areas are more remote by far.

    yes but took i it off. im selling it now. im afraid someone might step on the non cable supported side. the design prohibits using a cable with it since there is just enough space for the dampener.

    Thanks! I got both for Christmas. They were purchased on Amazon. The mounts are a direct bolt on the crash bar and the light bar is a 30 inch. Nice snug fit on both.
