what is the best way to run the wires from the lights on my roof rack and my cb antenna on the rack to the inside of the vehicle? should i just drill holes in the roof and seal them up or did rover plan ahead for this and incorporate something i am not aware of?

 

I don't know if the Disco has anything special for this, but on all my other vehicles I have used a Marine Wire Passthrough. Like this one. http://www.westmarine.com/1/1/21349-...or-marine.html

You add some RTV to seal it up nice and good. I have had it on my van roof for a couple years with no leaks. It might have snow sitting on it for months at a time, so I think that is a good test of the water tight seal.

 

i live in southern louisiana... no snow... monsoons...

 

Same rule would apply. If mine sits submerged then yours would be fine in rain.

 

i'll look into it.. thanks for your advice... i gotta do something... right now the wires are ran all retarded and look stupid and are in a position to potentially get hung on branches and stuff...

 

Use something like an old extension cord or other multi-conductor cord that can be run to the individual lights so you can avoid having to run lots of smaller wires through a hole in the roof. Even sealed with RTV the space between all those individual wires increases your risk of leaking. I try to use bulkhead connectors for that kind of stuff so it is easier to remove if needed. I'll try to find a link to the connectors I like. Haven't wired roof lights in a while so I'm a little out of practice.

 

yeah i will have a little extra money coming in in the next two months so i think i will try to get some hella lights to go up there... i have lights up there already but they are just cheap ones to have something up there...

 

Um, you drive the short bus. Leave it alone.

 

Nice one Spike! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
