Do you have the dxl9 AAL in the Dakars or whatever. That'll help a lot.

Got my 2013 pyrite mica 6 speed last month. Downsized from a cummins. Cleaned up a few of the hundreds of downed trees from the snowpacolypse at our cabin today. Breaking it in hard.

Roof rack lights finally all wired up. Just have to finish a mount for my switch assy.

Normal driving lights and fog lights

HID lights turned on (same settings on the camera and handheld)

Super happy with the rack setup. I might fab up some 2-3" light deflectors but the light is at the very end of the dash by the window and is easily drivable as is.

Aaron, that is an impressive light upgrade. Looks like a lot of spillage (glare) on your hood though. That first photo would be kind fun in Tilt-Shift mode

Looks good Aaron! Clean!

Nathan- I knew there was going to be spillage onto the hood because the lights are actually out in front of the cab over the windshield. Biggest concern was light on the dash in the cab which isn't much at all. I plan to do a flat black hood wrap and will play with a light deflector design.

My friends would love some goats! :chowtime:

How did you wire down to the battery? I have lights on my rack and am trying to figure out the best way to do it. Would love to see some photos if you have any.

Cool setup!. I have a question: After you install the roof rack, did you notice an increase wind noise?

 

[Bugslinger]

Yes, the roof rack increased the noise greatly. It also gave me a few leaks that I am still fighting. Once I put the light rack on, believe it or not, the noise reduced greatly. I do not have the mesh on the bottom of my rack but I hear those make less noise.

Nice to see the goats not talking like half the youtube videos I saw last week! There was a huge influx of videos like this on a music page I help with. I did get a laugh out of them.

No pictures of that but I can tell you what we did. I ran the wires in a loom to the back of my rack and then went in through the third brake light. Since I have a shell that brake light is useless. For sealing we ended up modifying a plastic electrical conduit elbow that has a nut and oring on one side. Fished the wires through the elbow, the bulb location, and then inside along the drivers side door channel.

Hardest part was removing the lens cover and brake light housing because of the camper shell and that my truck rack and shell rack are only about 4" apart. Made for tight working conditions.


Regarding noise- I noticed noise with my roof rack and lights but its not to bad. I think mud tires make significantly more noise than my racks and lights.
