Drilling through the roof? Any issues with leakage?
I had a small leak after I installed my smittybilt rack (similar installation method). I took out all the rubber crush nuts and replaced them with new ones from menards and during installation added a small amount of clear silicon to them to seal them to the cab. Now the leak is no more. I still need to weld up the joints on the mounting brackets to stop 2 of them from rubbing on the roof and fix the paint under them
As for what I did today:
* Wired the reed switch up to my alarm for the tailgate, now if someone opens the gate (picking the lock or similar) the alarm goes off. I have a second sensor to add to the roll-x but have yet to devise a good mounting solution for it.
* Re-installed my 2 rear facing area lights, and re-did all the joints in the wiring from relay to the lights, now the flickering is gone! The truck sill has to be running for them to work correctly, so I think I have to chase from the relay to the fuse panel on that circuit.
* Started the new wiring loom for my bed lights, ran out of time and didn't quite get time to wire up all the lights, but I may change direction on those soon. Saw some very nice light strips a friend of mine used on a project of his and am thinking about switching to those from the 'vendor who shall not be named' rock lights to them.
