Started on this shit. Need to mount the other side and wire it up. Had to modify the mount to hold both the antenna and the light.

Sweet. I've been curious how bright those lights are.

 

[Silverback]

Hope to find out by the weekend.

Well fuck.. lights work. Used an M12 battery to verify. But my SPOD is not turning them on, need to troubleshoot it. That channel on the SPOD has never been used so ???

 

[Silverback]

Well to put off wiring in the bed I will install this. Wireless winch controller. They have been out of stock forever it seems. Shouldn’t be too difficult to install. Might even give me confidence to work on the other wiring.

 

[Silverback]

Doneski.. easy peasy. Now I have 3 options to control the winch. I left the cable long in case I need to move the receiver someplace that gets a better signal. But it appears to work fine.

Threw the dealio in the bed and I like it. I need to get some shorter turnbuckles for the mounting points nearest the tailgate.

Man, lots of good stuff going on here

No packout mounts on the sides?

 

[Silverback]

I thought about getting some packouts but I have a Roam box and will most likely get one more. I should be good to go at that point.

Second Roam box I plan to get. 105L Rugged Case

Looking good, what brand bed stiffies you got there? I've been meaning to add them to my list but always falls to the bottom.

 

[Silverback]

They are from CaliRaised LED.. but it looks like they changed the design a little.

Got the gas can holder cleaned up and painted. I need to go get some more hardware for it. Will also put one more bolt through the middle section down in line with the bolts on the bottom. Also need to sort out the latch, I can either grind down the mounting bolts or drill a new hole for the latch to catch onto. I'll fuck with it after I get some more hardware. Right now its just ziptied in place.

Maybe get some low profile nuts and hacksaw the bolts down, I'm betting you could get it to seat fully without an issue
