"Clueless" fourwheel rabbit
So I'm ready to install a 36" light bar and two Ridgit square spots (for now maybe more later for camping/working etc)
In any case the drag/noise from the Thule basket is noticeable (I'm going to drop down the basket height about 3 inches and make a wind shield, but they don't really improve that much)
The plan is to take the basket on and off depending on the trips/needs so the wires will need to be able to be disconnected easily..
I think the smarter way is to drill 1/2" on the upper tube of rack since the lower tube tend to collect water (is a old rack, I don't care about hacking, they are already full of "Rust preventer" anyway) and run the wires inside a shielded string wrap or whatever you suggest.
I also plan to run the main wire to the back of the truck even if is more of a pain to run all the wires forward, why well less noise, less visual/wind disturbance, just cleaner
Thanks to the vultures at the pick and pull (in Salt lake city) I did not have many choices in terms of lighting control, but I did find this awesome set up from a 86-87 Mercedes (oh I love the quality of this era mercedes) and also a setup from a Saab 9000.
Obviously I can just operate the lights with stock switches but I want the run OEM and the aftermarket at the same time but sometimes that is not such a great idea, so a control like the one from the Mercedes will be really helpful and very easy to see/Operate..
So what do you guys think, I'm kind of clueless about electric stuff..
