    What are you using to hold your awning on the side?

    I would assume the channels where the weatherstripping is

    These are NICE! I want them! For the wires, i was thinking route under the weather stripping to the front and come down the windshield channels on the drivers side. I routed the led light bar down the passenger side. Run them into the engine bay and right onto the switch pro

    I guess that's what I was more curious about, how to get them to the battery/fuse box. Down the A pillar, behind the cab and along the frame, or some other way. Sounds like you have a pretty good solution, I've seen them run down the side of the windshield channels but they usually also have a snorkel so they're not really noticeable. Do you have any pics of yours?

    Man that totally sounds like an awesome idea. I wonder if doing white vinyl could make the roof have less heat vs a standard dark color?

    a friend just quoted me 300 for any color.
    he said he has done white on a few vehicles to help with heat.

    edit: u won't really be able to see it either

    I think it would be a great idea to do and I know a guy who does wrap out by me. If it could help with heat then man Im all in.
