Where did you run the wiring for the fog and driving lights?

Through the tailgate.

Wow!

You plan to light up Toronto by yourself!!?

Looks really cool. Good work.

 

[AlexJet]

I was thinking of it...
Sometimes we going for night runs where you need as much light as possible.

Through the tailgate.

Can you post some pics of the wiring and maybe some tips? I have the light brackets for my yakima mega warrior but I'm dreading the wiring.

I 2nd that, my light brackets are installed but I just can't bring myself to buy lights for it and have to wire them.

There is big event coming on Canada Day, July 1st in Canada. Its going to be a few days event with a night trails. So right now I'm preparing my vehicle for this event. I removed all wiring for now, so I can redo my setup more carefully and with better quality parts. Plus I have to do some armor on the truck and redo the suspension. When I'll be finishing it, I'll post some pictures.

Does that rack have a sunroof opening or is it blocked when the rack is installed?

 

[sketch1]

If you look at his picture of the "right mounts" it looks like it would be blocked when opened.

 

[AlexJet]

You can see the lights out of sunroof, but nothing blocking it from opening By the way, light covers only 1/3 of the rear part.

I'm liking the look Alex. As to the wiring, you ran it all the way to the back (tailgate) then all the way thru the interior of the truck and then thru the firewall to the battery?

 

[AlexJet]

That's what I did. I'm making a new switch-box for my lights. As soon as I'll finish it, I'll run the wires to the lights again. The only problem is that I have to do other things to the truck too, so some projects are becoming more priority and some less... First thing I have to do now is to rebuild the skid plates.

Oh sorry, I thought he was asking if you had a hole to see through when the sun roof was opened, not if the sunroof was blocked from opening.

 

[AlexJet]

I got it, that's why I respond in funny way.
As I stated before light are over the rear 1/3 of the sunroof which is behind your head. This is do not disturb the view and for me doesn't matter. The only thing is when sunroof is open I can hear the wind noise from the rack, but this happens with any rack systems.
