2016 Trail - The Ronin Build

Happy Friday

Hope everyone is well and ready to enjoy the weekend!

My iPhone 7 plus and otterbox will be here today so that is cool. Going to try and get the switchpros in this weekend as well.

Going to start thinking about painting badges and trail bumpers too. Have a good idea in store.

Switchpros - need help with panel install location

Hey there, just trying to figure out where to install the switch panel of the switchpros unit.

I found a spot for the power module as you can see pictured. Its very snug there and i use also use a large 3m pad to ensure it stays. Its really the only option I think without having to drill or extend the power cable. It will look clean once all of those wires are gone.

Anyhow my question is in regards to the switch panel. Im thinking it should go somewhere in these dash photos. Also I see there is a knee airbag so I will need to be careful of that as well. is there a write up of how to remove these panels? Should I cut and mount the panel there? what do you all think?

what if...?

Can I relocate the two switches that area in that center rectangular section in the middle.

Such as moving the 400W switch to the lower blank.

Then moving that windshield switch to that upper blank .

Then I could cut out that rectangular area for the switchpros panel

What do you guys think?

thats a negative

I tried relocating the wiper switch and its not physically possibly being that the switch housing is specific to that hole. It doesnt line up with the hole of the lower blank. its like trying to fit a cube into a circle.

So I guess I am going to have to cut out a rectangle just below it.

My buddy said I shouldnt mount the power module face up in such a manner as to not allow water to build up and sit there.
So I actually mounted it to the Rago Fab relay holder that I had previously installed. I used the universal plate as a clamp to attach to the holder and it is on there solid.
I thought the hood strut would hit it but it seems ok. let me know what you think

He also said I could delete the relay/switch harnesses, which I why the relay holder is free to be used this way

Switch Pros Demonstration

Hello!

I finished the installation of the Switch pros SP8100 and it was actually pretty fun to do. I have my windshield bar, bumper bar, and ditch lights hooked up so far.

In this video I show you how to connect and control it with blutooth, I did so by using my iPhone 7 Plus.

I also show you the strobe function as well.

Click here to see the small clip on my instagram



You can see the unboxing I did of the Switch pros SP8100 here also


Please follow me on instagram, facebook, and youtube! haha:frisky:

How's the Opt7 hidden light bar working out? I know we have more rain in NJ than AZ, but any water issues? Flickering?
 
Hello, No issues yet!

have you had issues?

I have'n pulled the trigger yet on a light bar, still weighing the options. From what I've read, some of the less expencive bars are prone to weak seals and end up wit water. Haven't head about Opt7 specificly though.

I haven't been doing too much involving my truck lately. Instead I have been focused on my firearms and some new projects in that category.
I bought a sweet new pistol you can see my video of it here, The Sig Sauer P320 RX
If you want to see the video I made of the drone up close, check that out here

Your install looks great!

Do you think the switch pro switches would fit on the dash to the left of the steering wheel below the vent, the space that is almost horizontal just above the mirror button?
 
*New Product video* Jay Leno's Garage - Advanced Vehicle care

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you the package I just received from Nvmertz on instagram who works with Jay Lenos Garage to promote their new Vehicle care products. I had no idea what was in the box, so I made a video to show everybody.

Check out my video unboxing here

I have used Adams Polishes before this, so it will be good to see how Jay's product stacks up to it. So far so good.

Check out my instagram here
