    I ran the black corrugated tubing over the length of the wire, then dropped it straight down just aft of the battery. See the yellow line in the picture below.

    Underneath the truck you just follow the main wire harness that runs along the driver's side of the truck. The picture below kind of shows it, its the blue and/or purple harness in this picture. Just zip-tie the wires to that harness, or any other structure under the truck. If you zip-tie to the harness do NOT pull the zip-ties too tight, this can cause the tie to dig into the harness and could cause damage later.

    I did cut pieces of the tubing to cover the wire in the corners, and I think the short run of wire from the bed wall to the first strip of LEDs.

    hey everyone just checking in. So saw vanguards video on FB. Damn good job with the install. And I sent out enough tubing to cover each corner for the wires in the bed, but for sales I will continue the led lights but it will be a slow process, had a baby girl to take care of when I return.lol keep up with the pics everyone. its funny I have my hood kit and my bed kit still requires replacing as it was the first kit I put together and it was a completely different type of strip. Cant wait to get back to the states. should be doing a little trip to TN when I return

    Well this will probably work out great for me, I'm not technically "deployed" but Im stationed at a deployed location Korea for a year. So when I am getting ready to return you'll already be back and then I can make my purchase.

    Looking at all 3 kits ;), I just can't help myself lol

    Got some good news for some of you. I will be returning soon from the deployment. im debating on making a order of lights when I return. So to make it easier to decide, anyone that wants a kit either the rocker kit, bed light kit, hood light kit, or even the camper shell kit let me know so I can see what everyone is interested in wanting. Thanks everyone

    prices are on the first post of the thread :)

    Also since I will be returning before the main holidays I may give a little discount for kits being bought together.
    Also I do custom requests and can make kits for other vehicles if requested.
