Dust Light? Is that to see if you're still moving?Installed a dust light on a Rago Fabrication antenna mount. Worked out pretty nicely!

Seriously, I've never heard that reference. Help me understand. Not a "Fog" light, but "Dust" light? Not trying to be a complete smartass. Just a partial one.
@BILT4ME yep, this here. It gets pretty dusty on some of these California trails, so the rear amber/yellow lights help people behind me see where I am.If you are bombing it in the desert or dusty roads it is good to have a high up light so people don't rear end me.
Mind sharing a link or details on the light.
how did you run the wiring for the cigarette lighter? underneath the carpet?Two other updates. First, I wired up a hot cigarette outlet in the trunk for my fridge and other things. Probably gonna add a small switch panel back here in the future too for accessories. Second, another progress pic on the trunk gizmo!

Sort of, mostly under the little plastic door moldings and stuff tho. It was basically a straight line from the battery to the cigarette outlet lolhow did you run the wiring for the cigarette lighter? underneath the carpet?
Here are some closer pics of the Front Runner Roof Load Bars already mounted. I forgot to snap some before we put them on

Thanks! I’ll take a look tomorrow to see if it’s adjustable (don’t remember off the top of my head), but the bar is only a ball hair away from sitting on the roof ribs lol. I don’t think it could get any closer without touching.@DannyBFresco Are the bars adjustable in height, aka can you get them closer/further away from the roof if needed? I would love to see any more pictures, if you have any, showing how close they are to the roof ribs (I also already removed my original roof rack). I'm really considering these for my rig but want something that's as close as possible to the roof, since I will only be using them to mount an awning. Loving the build so far!

No problem! They don’t appear to be adjustable either, but they’re super close to the roof ribs. I like that you can also add onto them with more sets of bars and a wind fairingAwesome, this is exactly what I needed to know. I want something that is as close to the roof ribs as possible, so I'm definitely buying these! Thanks for the info man.
