    You need to start a thread for each of your products. would make it easier for people to find out about them.

    since i couldn't find a thread specifically on your light bar brackets I'll leave my pic here. Thanks for the awesome product. install was simple and it came out perfect.

    rigid radiance with Amber backlight. Thanks again.

    Incredible build. After years of modifying various cars to go-fast, I promised I would leave my future truck alone. This thread is such a bad thing for me to look at.. wew. Great quality of work.

    Cliff, do you have any notes on how you did the wiring for the lights and the switchpro? Thanks!

    Some pics from the @Pelfreybilt camping trip to Sheeps Bridge on the Verde River a few weeks back.

    Got a few more upgrades coming soon.

    I do not, I'm awful with wiring so we wired it here at the shop. We have a dedicated 12v guy who is really good. That being said they are extremely easy and straight forward to hook up, I just dont have the patience to do it.

    @WhiteBeltBatman just did his, he can probably pipe in with some more specific info.

    Hey. The instructions that come with the Switchpros are very well thought out and simplified for anyone to be able to do it, so don't be afraid to give it a try.
    You can grab your own wires, harnesses, loom, etc. at a Home Depot or Lowes, but I went to a car audio store and had them recommend what to use based on what I told them I was installing.
    Do keep in mind that doing this job is likely an all-day affair. I absolutely underestimated how long it would take.
    All the wiring, measuring and getting them wrapped, will take up a lot of time if you want to do it right and clean. Keep in mind, I connected two lightbars behind the grill, a-pillar lights, and a rear chase light during the install. I also prepped so future accessories can be added fairly quickly, so doing it the way I did will definitely take a day or two.

    I watched this install video a bunch of times before giving it a go:
    https://youtu.be/njCsIKDpkA8

    I also bugged @JerryTaco for advice and questions throughout the day of the install. He knows his shit.

    I ordered the kit from @SDHQ OFFROAD with the control panel for a perfect factory look as well.

    Last thing - Based on your accessory to connect, you should consider relays if necessary. I have a Baja Designs Onyx6 Hi-Power and a 30amp relay worked best for this. I just added a DC outlet panel to the Switchpros, and I opted for a 40amp relay for this application.

    Ignore the air button, that's a project still quite a bit away :(

    All in all, you really can't mess up too much doing this. And anything you do can be fixed pretty easily as well. This product is a MUST-HAVE btw!

    Current debate... to roof rack or not to roof rack. And no I will not be doing a Prinsu and yes it will have all the lights.

    Thoughts?

    most likely. I do like the Prinsu racks but everyone and their mom has one and 40" ONX6 HP > S8 all day and I like the option to keep the camp table under the rack.
