    I am adding my Prinsu rack to my Snugtop Rebel and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on routing the wiring for external lighting going to the shell.

    I was thinking of running wires between the back window of the cab and the shell, around the window of the shell, and up to the middle of the top of the shell (Middle would hide the wiring better I think?)

    If anyone has any pics or a better suggestion, please let me know.
    I will likely be adding a flood light to each side, and maybe 1 flood to the rear, as well as two driving lights in the rear.

    I drilled through my cabrac tracks and into the cab then ran down and through the rear tail light. Just seal up with some RTV. This is the cleanest look.

    So I ran wires on the side of the rails and zip tied them to the cross bars, I rant the original up the side of the windshield. let me know if you need more pictures. I actually grounded the lights to the mounts on the front cab rack where they go into the roof.
