    Maybe Im missing something, but it looks like you can lay a nice looking bead, why not pull the bolt and weld it instead? Actually I have a set of sliders that I bought as bolt on, and welded them, used the bolts to hold em in place while welding rather then jacks clamps etc...

    I built my wife a 2 tier herb garden she I was doing the deck and landscaping. I had some landscape stones left over. I dug a 2’ deep hole and laid a French drain under it then laid 2 layers of landscape stones. The top is 2 antique tractor steel wheels. I cut the center out of the top one. I just wanted something different. The top wheel can be removed to see the fire better or both to clean it out

    Life here has been fairly quiet so far. Only 6 cases in the county I know of and 1 death. Getting these folks to understand what they want us to do is a little different. I am pretty much laid off except they give me 1 day a week at least it's just enough to py for health insurnce. I just hide out here at home. Hope y'all are all well

    Never seen the retro decals on a MGM before. I was looking for that the other day but could really only find them on white... I kinda dig it.

    Thanks for the compliment on the welds. Been a few years since I really got much practice. I actually prefer the bolt on option so that I can pull them every year or two to make sure the crappy Toyota frame is ok behind them.

    Installed my RCI tranny and tcase skids this morning. Just another reminder that at this point in life my body is more 10" of lift and 44" tires than 3" lift and 32" tires

    If I have already have power running to my topper lights from the battery which is always on do you think I could tap into that? I think it's fused for 10A but have to check

    If I understand you correctly, you want to:

    1. Have ALL the strip lights come on with the dome light.

    2. Be able to turn on any one of the strip lights independently with a switch for each.

    Do I have that right? If so, here's the wiring diagram to make that happen:

    MultiAccessoryLights.jpg

    It works with a relay wired to the dome light so when the dome comes on the relay switches power to all the lights. Each light can be turned on separately with it's own switch. The diodes just prevent the individual lights from feeding power to any of the others. If you want more than two lights, just add a switch and diode for each additional light.
