upTOP Overland Racks and Accessories - NOW WITH FREE SHIPPING (CONUS ONLY)

Added some handles yesterday.

 

Any of you guys had to touch up your Meso ScenePods yet? Mine are fading and showing white underneath. I also need to touch up the fairing where I had to adjust the light bar. Anu suggestions on products to use?

 

Very happy with the new design and material used for the soft topper rack.

 

Where'd ya get the handles from?

 

Trying to sell my uptop quickwire harness for Alpha roof rack and awning bracket if anyones interested. Theyre brand new as I ended up not needing them.

I don't know if anyone can help me here. I have a truss bedrack for my softtopper and instead of wasting money on rotopax; I have NATO secptor cans. Has anyone seen or made a holder to mount these on the bed rack?

 

Maybe try these for a start?

There are probably others you can look into, but that is what I found at a first glance.

 

need advice on a wiring harness for the rack. Bought the Baja rock lights during the last sale, but haven't bought a harness yet. Got some good advice from Daveesa as well. I'm leaning towards the DSIM kit. I do want them on a dedicated switch, and even thought the DSIM kit is pricey, it seems to be the cheapest of the options.

Anyone have any advice, or what they did to wire the rock lights to the Uptop?

 

I would do exactly as you said, put it on the DSIM kit if you don't want it on a dedicated switch. Just remember that if you have the main map/dome lights on, those rock lights will go on with it.

 

I made an electrical control panel, along with a Bussman RTMR, for the bed of the truck and wired them up there. I will probably also get them slaved to the dome circuit so they turn on when I approach.

 

Damn, screwed up my post. i do want a dedicated switch, which they do offer a module for. thanks for the tip.

 

Had a pro do mine because I always seem to screw up electrical when I try it. Came out super neat with everything tied into an IggyCorp switch panel with OTRATTW switches.

 

No problem. Since you do want it on a switch, you can wire it directly to the switch via relay. If you want them to come on with your map/dome, then you can get the MESO switch and hook it up to that. That way you can either have them off all the time, on with the map/domes via the door, or on separately.

 

I went an unique route, kinda... used an off the shelf 4 channel bluetooth relay board. Custom 3d printed case and software to control.each light single mode or in defined groups ie. Left, right front, rear, all. And a custom harness to tie it all togather.

There are a few posts about it around here. Have to.search for my posts. Fingers.are not wprking so good so ttping is difficult right now or would post links for you

Around 5:24 in this video - running power and ground along the window channel.
I just hope there is enough space for wiring in a 40" S8 bar and 8x Rock lights.

Just ordered all my lights and alpha cab rack & bed racks - All should be here in a few weeks.
No lead time - racks were ready to ship, so that's awesome.

Bussmann with metripack 280 connectors --> Intermediate harness --> rack harness with plugs in the engine bay and up on the roof rack. Then I'll probably make two harnesses for 4 lights, and a connector to merge both into a single loom that connects to my intermediate harness. So two power and two ground running along the windshield in a sleeve.

 

I actually did this with some brackets from lowes. Just rigged it up using the width of the table (also slid my foldable grill in some brackets on the other side as well)

 

This is in my to-do list as well.
Plus a folding doggo ramp for the RTT. Figure I could suspend both from the roof rack load bars beneath the tent (2 slots)

 

This shit normal?

 

I think so. I got that on mine, but it hasn’t gotten any worse.

 

Mine doesn't have that at all. I'll check but looks like its just paint.. why not give it a coat?
