Did you use any sealer or silicone to install your K9 rack? Plan on installing mine next week. Also did your RTT mount right up in the rack or did you need anything special?

I did not use any sealer. Just made sure everything was tightened down properly.
My RTT came with mounts to use since they are both Eezi-Awn. Install is very simple.

Do you use your wind deflector on your rack or do you think it causes more wind noise?

Finally got some AIR! Thanks to [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] garage for the install help and expertise as always. We installed the ARB Dual air compressor, Viair 1 gallon tank and the [MENTION=125603]bandi[/MENTION] mount. No problems with the install, everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend this setup if anyone wants on board air. Here are a couple pics of the install.
Test fitting the Bandi mount. Of course we had to remove the airbox to have more room to work.
Here it is all tightened down and all the lines ran. We decided to run the chuck down into the front bumper for easy access. I replaced the blue air line with a SS line the next day.
Here it is all finished up and completed.
Picture of the air chuck inside my front bumper. I picked up a vinyl cap that fits over the chuck perfectly to keep debris out of it. We used a L bracket and a grommet to keep the air line from moving around. The install turned out perfect.

Here is my switch panel that [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] and I installed. I used OTRATTW switches with their housings and gutted out that little pocket in the center console. I also have a Blue Sea 12 circuit fuse box up front under the engine bay and a Blue Sea 6 circuit fuse box in the rear that has the constant 12v to power my fridge and charge cameras/phones/etc. Pretty happy with how all of this is working out.

Do you know what light bar you are going to mount up there and how you will mount it? Really would like a light up there. I'm not savy with the electrical running stuff but I'll figure something out. Ha

Lots of updates so little time. As [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] mentioned i did put in some sound deadening throughout the entire truck. Thanks to [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] for the tip on using roofing material. That roofing material from Home Depot did wonders for the sound and feel in the cabin. I put down 2-3 layers on every door and the entire trunk area. It's really quite in the cabin now and the stock system sounds at least 5x better. Bass is way more pronounced now. You can definitely feel it much more.
The doors sound like their European when opened or closed. Just pulling the handle to open the door made a huge difference in sound and feel. I would recommend everyone do this pretty simple mod. You will love the new feel of your interior.
We also installed the Icon Overland rear springs in preparation for my SSOffroad rear bumper. These springs are definitely harsh with no weight in the rear. I was driving around for a couple days with 500lbs of concrete bags and the ride felt really smooth! I also removed the rear sway bar for better articulation offroad. So far city driving has been fine since the new springs are so stiff. Only time will tell if I wanna run it permanently with no rear sway bar. Can't wait to get the bumper on.

I ended up finding a hard to pass up deal on the Renogy 100w suitcase solar setup with controller. I also sourced a proper solar connector to hardwire a connector into my battery. Now I can just take out the panels and plug it into my truck without having to open my hood.

Today my [MENTION=110183]SouthernSS[/MENTION] Southern Style Offroad rear bumper showed up at my local powder coater. It took about an hour just to unwrap everything. The packaging was on point and nothing was damaged. SSO really knows what they're doing over there. All the welds on all the pieces look great. This is definitely one stout bumper. I cannot wait until the powder is done. I really like the new Jerry can cage design. The side ladder looks awesome to. A lot of things have been changed on the bumper since [MENTION=123371]fargo4x4[/MENTION]'s prototype. My configuration for the rear bumper is Full bumper replacement, Dual swing arms, dual jerry cans, tire mount, hi-lift mount, camera relocation kit, side ladder and camp table.

I saw that [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] did this, too. On hot days do you get any asphalt/tar smell in the cabin?

Are you going to run the line under your rig or through the inside?

Is that the six position v series?Here is my switch panel that [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] and I installed.
