Here is a close up of how it is mounted, and how i ran the wires.

are your light switches on the accessory switch or hot all the time? I'd make sure they were on accessory so you dont bump them with your leg and turn them on. 4 lights can kill a battery reallly realllllllllly realllllllllllly fast.

They are on the accessory switch. I am shocked how bright the little lights on the switches are, there is no doubt when they are on there is a nice blue or red glow from the console.

The 4-55w lights, do a great job lighting up the night, i think i finally have them pointed where they best help with the high beams also on.

The mounts are Thule, i got off ebay for $20. I used 1" square tube from the rack, into the Thule mounts.

steal away, just don't take my rack... Yes it is nice not having to notch, im now up to $70, i found my relays, switches, and wire at a closeout store for $1 a piece, and the lights are from northern tool.

Has anyone tried duplicolor's bed liner material?

Duplicolor is great. It goes on pretty easy with the roller. Although for the roof rack I would consider the spay can. The spray can is also good for touching up receivers and all towing parts. It goes down thin and suprisingly durable.

I see that you have already used herculiner. Great Job!!

SSEAMAN,
Can I ask you if your runningboards are oem or aftermarket? I'm asking because I'm trying to find a pair for my 92LC.

They are manik, i bought off of craigslist. I plan to fab up real sliders in the future, but these work great for the kids.
