    Maybe even Labor Day?

    I already have a camping trip planed labor day but im down for a quick weekend trip. It would be nice to do the trail in a smaller group or just a giant group again is cool too.

    Yeah I'm down for either. We'd get through it quicker with a smaller group though.

    I'll look into Sept/Oct. It has to be when the 49ers have a Sunday evening game or Bye week though :D. And Nov it'll start getting super cold over there

    Here you go. It was actually $6.68 shipped :D

    Cool White LED Waterproof Flexible Strip Light, T93007-1 (1 Pack) - 25 watt, 300 "3528 SMD, 12 Volt, 16.4 feet, Pure White - 1 Pack
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EHHLD8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    The strip has double sided adhesive. I basically ran it on the inside of each of the mounting tracks and along the aluminum borders on the front/rear of the tent with one long strip. It was actually too long, so I cut off about 18" of the LED strip. It starts and ends toward the front driver side where I hooked up a quick disconnect and ran it down the bed rack and pulled the power from the existing bed lights that I already have.

    Sounds good. idk if you have a LB or SB, but you probably can use the whole strip. I didn't want to cut several strips and solder multiple wires, so I just kept it on one strand.

    Just a tip, for the 90* turns, some of the adhesive won't be adhering to anything right at that angle. And if you leave it like this, the adhesive will start to creep up slowly on both ends, and the LEDs will start to come off. To help with this, I used my wife's hot glue gun to fill in the space just so the adhesive strip is adhering to something. It's only been a few days, but so far its holding up.

    Good tip, thx. I have a short bed and I will most likely cut 2 straps and soldier in with the dome.

    Found a toolbox that fits between the bed rack supports. One thing I missed about the bestop was being able to leave stuff in the bed and not worry about it too much. Since having the bed rack, I've had a couple of things stolen from the bed :( Good ol 'Murica

    Opens up and clears the top of the bed rack :D

    yea still trying to figure out which sticker to put over the brand name

    Fits pretty good, but I couldn't have it sit all the way back toward the front of the bed (1" gap) because it would have limited the lid from opening up all the way. I'm going to put some foam or something to fill the space.
