I think they're RoverTyme. Let me double-check. I bought so much stuff I forgot where I got half of it.

My roof rack arrived from Bajarack yesterday and ready for more advice if y'all are willing to share. I have a friend who has a company that creates wiring harnesses and lighting solutions for first responder vehicles. He will be working with his suppliers to get me free or drastically reduced LED lighting for my rig under the guise it is a demo vehicle. ;-) I would love to get your thoughts on types / specs of lighting for the front bumper, roof rack, and he's even talking about mounting ruggedized lamps on the outer undercarriage to provide better perspectives on terrain features. What's everyone else running and if you were in my position, what would you run? Pictures and rationale will help :-) As always, appreciate the insight here. Will be working on this and the dual battery setup over the next couple of weeks.

Looks nice though, good luck with the install, looking forward to pictures.

LOL! NO kidding. At 120 lbs, thinking the UPS guys are not playing toss with it.

Okay. Rack is on and now I'm on to the headliner.





Had a short that resulted in the sunroof opening arbitrarily. I was convinced there was a ghost riding along playing practical jokes with the rear sunroof with until I discovered it didn't even work. Located a short where the wire cluster relay from from to back was shaved AND the rear switch wasn't properly grounded. I ran a direct ground to the front passenger side ground location and fixed shaved wires. Ghost seems to be gone.

Table looks good. I'm building something similar. Almost done. I used King starboard (HDPE plastic) for the table, and gas springs so it comes down smoothly

How are you liking the Expedition rack? I have the standard, and am trying to sell it and go rackless for awhile. If I come back to a rack, I think I'd go with the expedition as you have, or maybe a front-runner.

They sent it to you in a UPS truck? I had to meet a Freight truck somewhere on a main road and carry it home haha that was a long few hours.
