    Hi everyone,
    I have three question reguarding monting equipment.

    1st for those with a sun roof when open does the glass slide up to be on top of the roof or does it retract into the body of thr roof itself?

    2 for those with back racks and offroad or emergency responder light bars where and how is the best way to run the wireing into the cab?

    3 for a front fulll led lightbar that get mounted to the front top part of the windshield area like a 52" led offroad bar best way to run the wires?

    Thanks to all.

    Pops up but slides in, thats why the headroom takes a hit if you have a sunroof. On mounting all of that stuff, I would suggest a roof rack or basket that uses the factory mounts (be sure to resilicone the bolts in the roof) and while I can't help ya on where wires are usually run but don't be a scrub and run them in the door jamb. The firewall boot is really easily accessed on either side and there are a number of underbody plugs you can access, just seal them back up. But the roof rack or basket will save you a lot of headaches plus its fully removable if you sell the truck.

    Thank you, I would never run wireing in a door jam thats just asking for problems.
    I am a vol. First responder and although 2 years out from picking up a taco i am looking at the trd offroad trim.
    I Have a 52" led flood bar with built in warning and plan on rigging a cb antenna on the roof for distance as i do a lot of road trips and was debating for my warning lights on either going with a full light bar on either a headache rack or going all interior for keeping the stuff out of the way as i eventually plan on a cap and my wife and I have 2 12' kayaks and was also conttemplating just putting a cap on the bed as well with an extra rack for storage.
