    How do you switch between amber and white lights, that's a pretty cool feature. Are these the ones you used to fill the holes in your bumper?

    Looks like you're making good progress on the rack

    Yes, the fogs are the filling the holes in the bumper.

    They have a yellow lead for yellow lights, and a red lead for the white. I wired them to an on-off-on switch. Up is yellow, white is down.

    I tried to get some quotes to have a piece of metal cut with El Taco Diablo in place of the Pelfrybilt. I'd cut out the pelfrybilt and weld in the new piece.

    Must not be a good enough sale cause no one wants to answer my emails.

    Got the side boxes back in yesterday

    20220102_100622.jpg

    Got a ton of wiring finished. Compressor rewired, new switch panel installed.

    20220102_144328.jpg 20220102_144451.jpg 20220102_170626.jpg


    All of the wiring is complete. Camp lights, cargo light all work. Also ran wire in to the box on the other side to eventually install a second single lung ARB.

    I usually find it easier to see around camp when everyone else shuts their lights off long enough for my eyes to adjust

    I get that, if you're already in camp. But when you get to a spot after dark... I hate setting up in the dark. That should no longer be an issue :D

    It looks like a pretty good setup and I can't deny the lights will come in handy. Your setup in the console looks sweet too

    Also glad those side boxes are back where they belong
