    Yeah it definitely makes it easier and ticks away nicely rather than making your own housing and shit to put the fuses and relays

    Strobe or dim any light. Also if I accidentally leave them on, it will auto cut off so i have enough battery to start the next day. And the touch screen has a battery voltmeter in it too

    Anyone know how well vinyl wraps hold up to the outdoor elements?

    @boogie3478 and @Darkgoatracer both have wrapped trucks over here on the east coast and it’s running strong.

    Yep had mine on for a year now through the mud and salt and it's doing fine. Even doing a good job of hiding tree branch scratches.

    That’s good to hear. The truck might be going through some big changes in the next few months. @boogie3478 Did you wrap your truck yourself or get it done somewhere? Right now I’m planning on stripping the truck apart and doing it myself.

    Also me and the woman might be getting a place together so there’s that too.

    No I had a professional do it. Unless you have plenty of experience with that sort of thing it would be a huge PITA.

    Truck got a haircut this morning. After some heavy rainfall recently I figured I’d check the Plano cases to see if everything was holding up and sure enough, swamped out. Ended up taking everything out of them and removing the cases til I find a solution.

    Only thing I can come up with is that either the seals suck around the edge of the case or because I didn’t put any neoprane washers underneath, but that was a lot of water for little tiny holes to come through. The only thing I can think of is that the water collecting in the channels of the cross bars had no where to go except up into the Plano cases. But does that even make sense or possible?

    One of mine let’s water in but I’ve figured out it’s because I over filled it a tiny bit. I can still close the lid just fine, but it’s just enough of a bulge to keep it from getting a nice seal. My solution was to reorganize it and it’s fine now.

    With the exception of the old Shelby GT350s, I've never been a big fan of white vehicles but that looks great. Subd.
