    I feel the pain. My wife is going to at least let me use tax money few years down the road for my trailer/RTT setup. But most mods I do now is what I make from the kits and selling other things.

    Update: my order of lights will be here either Monday or Tuesday. Hoping to help as many members with these kits as possible before I stop for the year for when deploy. Would like to just say thanks for everyone who has bought a kit from me and has enjoyed every bit of it.

    Line up all your parts and then make a mark where the bolts go through the fuse box and circuit breaker holes on the corners. Then drill the holes so you'll have a good layout. I used Allen head bolts from the local hardware store to mount it to the bracket. And you'll need some washers and lock nuts for the back side to keep it tight..

    I'm not sure I understand this...what's the thing on the left with the red button? I get that the positive from the fuse box is connected to it and then the battery. And that the negative from the fuse box is connected directly to the negative on the battery.

    What else do you have running through the fuse box, too?

    I think I read some back that you had the bracket fabricated, right? I'm curious how I would go about mounting something like that. I'm wondering if I could get some thin metal and bend it myself?

    Or! you can have TW member "luka" fab you a perfect one made out of aluminum...:D He has a template and access to aluminum. Oh yeah...he's a master metal worker on Navy ships as well...

    Edit: the little red button is the reset for the breaker if it trips due to overload. But you have to have a lot of shit on there to trip that bad boy.
