    Been doing a little prep work while I wait for the Switch-Pros system to come in on Friday. Got all the brackets for the rock lights cut thanks to the guidance from SMKYTXN :D. Still need the magnets also and will be ready to rock and roll!

    Forgive the shitty cell pics

    Also did a little fuse box labeling.

    I'm going by what SMKYTXN and geekhouse23 have said about them. I had been eyeballing the rigid rock lights and for the price + end result of those little light bars I had to try it!

    Mod day has arrived! I started of by wiring up the Switch Pros 8100 system.

    411892EC-2850-4AA4-AD05-00751F036727_zps_0c4ee42f8eb5b469e0c1eb1c65b7277cd63e6d86.jpg

    Ended up mounting it beside the battery tucked out of the way. No one would ever know it was there unless I told them.

    475BC0A7-C9B9-4015-B454-EF0E9E3AA399_zps_2d08e6cfc6ce0c3ab87ffe30d7e7555424363ebe.jpg

    Ran the loom into the cab and applied the button legend to my needs. I'm not sure yet what I'll use the bottom row for but I love having options.

    Once I pick the GF up from the airport I'll finish running the wires to the sunglass holder and begin wiring in the accessories! :goingcrazy:

    Rock lights finished! As soon as it gets dark I'll take a pic. I may need to order one more LED stick to get rid of shadows.

    Deff will! I've got some dark spots in the middle so I'm going to see how many more I need to get rid of those. The other guys who did it this way used 13. I was hoping to get away with using 12, because they come in pairs and I have one bar left. :anonymous: Gonna order one more.

    Ok night pics are in. I'm thinking in the morning I'm going to move some around and see if I get better coverage. I'm going to order another pair (8$) just to be safe.

    Also almost finished my tool box light.

    Dude. Just came across your build thread and your truck has come a long ways since you first bought it. Looks sweet.

    ^Thanks man! The roof rack wasnt bad just take your time and don't hit the side curtain airbags!

    All holes cut and lights mounted and wired. Waiting till it gets a bit darker to take pics.

    Holy hell you sir have balls. Truck is looking really good! Where did you end up putting the lights and what did you secure them with? I think when I get around to this ill tie into the dome light with a SPDT switch.

    Edit: underbody lights that is
