    This is the only thing I’ve found so far, but it looks like you can only get it with the switch and bracket together. I already have the Auxbeam switch.

    To the OP: Hope you were able to get your cracked windshield as seen in page one of this thread replaced. I stand amazed at all of the wiring stuff so many are able to do.
    WOW!!

    @MESO So glad to hear of an approaching production run. I'm poised and ready with a badly needed order!

    I live in Alberta Canada so a cracked windshield is very normal here lol. It looked like that 3 months after being replaced in 2019. I'll be getting a new one this spring after all the sand/gravel is off the roads. Luckily it's not illegal to have a windshield like that here. But it is in BC.
    I knew pretty much absolutely nothing about 12V systems and wiring. Lots of learning!

    Anyone else notice that there is a constant draw on every circuit even when powered off? There's ~.5V across every lead even when the panel is off.

    Another interesting behavior that has me concerned is that if you pull a fuse you still get voltage across the terminals.

    is anyone running this with an e-locker while having the panel only power on with the truck? I ask because I wonder what the operation of the elocker will be if it is on then I turn the whole truck off therefore losing power to the panel.

    I know as of now if I have light pods/bars on and then I turn the truck off then on the lights do not turn back on.

    I think you have the right idea. I have my panel wired the same way. Once you turn the key off, the panel shuts off. Meaning the lockers with disengage when the truck shuts off. Then you will have to turn the truck on, and then turn the lockers back on.
    But I don't have a locker wired to mine.

    Yes my truck is dirty. Used the brackets it came with to sandwich it between the cubby hole. Didn’t want to screw it in, but now I want it flush mounted. Works fine but sticks out a bit further than I’d like. Trying not to spend too much more money. Already spent $800 on a 30” Baja 31DF5307-5DB2-4F97-8EE6-EEA5213B16F8.jpg

    Its been a while since I installed mine. I think it came with a flush mount bracket. This is what mine looks like:

    Interesting...I hadn't considered tapping in the cab. Any reason you chose cab vs fuse box in the engine bay?

    Tried to install tonight but I didn't choose the right switched fuse. What are you all using for that? I plugged into drl in the engine bay and my switch just stayed on all the time.

    What's everyone plugging into with the single read wire.
