    Do you by chance have a wiring diagram to show how you get these to turn on when unlocking your vehicle?

    The positive wire is fused straight to the battery. The negative wire taps into the blue wire in the A pillar. Remove the handle, pull off the trim and you’ll see a black wire loom. Open that up and you’ll see the blue wire to tap the negative into. The dome light has a switched ground which is why we tap the negative wire. That will also allow the lights to fade in and fade out like the dome light. Easily one of my favorite mods, clean and simple touch.

    I didn't see a thread on them other than a market post to purchase them :p here is a video on them in use

    They allow you to just pull a pin to mostly disconnect the sway bar. Quite nifty.

    so can you add rock lights to this since it's the negative wire? Rock lights will have a bigger draw than the lights you have.

    I have LED’s in my dome light so with rock lights it might be fine, but I don’t know for sure.

    I'm willing to bet it would pull it just fine...not very fast but it would chug along alright. The 4.0 pulled it just fine over 500mi and I was able to maintain ~65-70mph (OK/TX so no mountains or even what I would consider large hills).

    Chased the wet passenger floorboard leak to the cowl.
    Cleaned the K&N air filter and cabin filter. I'll do the throttle body tomorrow.
    Installed some dynamat foam in the ceiling. I had butyl sound deadening on before so I'm excited to see if this pays off like that did.
    Sprayed the cowl with bedliner and but a nasty layer of silicone down. I'll clean it up tomorrow.

    I was finally able to get her on the beach for surf fishing and learning how to drive thru sand. It was a lot of fun and perfect weather.
