    I have never bedlined anything in my life. I want to start off with my hood and roof. The rock chips are starting to rust and the hood is all scratched from the previous owner.

    A squirrel tried to hot wire the GX. Wife drove it in the morning and around lunch time she heard it turning on and off by itself. She had the keys and it doesn’t have remote start. She opened the hood and sure enough a squirrel went to town on the wiring harness again. :annoyed:

    Fixed the wires up for the most part. There are 3 wires that the squirrel just chewed through the jacket and not the wire. What’s the best way to seal those back up? For now I just have electrical tape wrapped around them.

    Not sure if setting up the RTT in your driveway counts for anything. :luvya:

    This should fit your bill. Available at lowes. Similar products are available by other but make sure it says insulating wire tape.

    Mounted a fancy handle. Unfortunately all Lowe’s had for stainless steel bolts was a hex head. Will have to find a better looking bolt.

    Just realized I haven’t camped in a tent since August 6th, 2019. Those mosquitoes were so bad @Squeaky Penguin! We have gotten so used to the glamping lifestyle!
