man had a great time at Desert Rendezvous 2014 this weekend. here are a few pictures from our setup
here are some pictures from this weekends trip to the desert

 

So i was tired of having the wires and a ugly temporary switch hanging from my dash for my 50" light bar..

so i decided to mount some of these Daystar Rocker switches..

It didnt come with a template so i decided to make my own out of some thin plexi i had laying around.



I then figured out where i wanted to mount the switches and put some blue tape over it and marked it out. I drilled wholes on each corner and used a utility knife to do the straight cut


once the whole was cut i just used a file to widen the whole large enough to fit the switch.



Its definitely a much cleaner look

 

On a side note i have been trying to figure out how to mount some lights on my roof rack. Im not talking about very bright LED lights but something that is bright enough to use at night at camp but not enough to blind anyone. i thought about just running my rope light that i used on the Camo tent during the DR but i thought it would look cheasy. So i just hit up one of my distributors and bought a underbody LED light kit in white. ill be mounted it to the roof rack via zip ties and should have enough light for what i want.

the kit looks like this: LED Light Kits for Trucks - White Slimline Truck Underbody Kit

if for some reason it looks like crap ill just some of the smaller pieces inside the camper shell.

So I got the lights but they don't work. See here:

Thanks to my buddy Mitch for guiding me in the right direction.

So this weekend at the Xpedition Outfitters wrenching day Mitch is going to help me with setting up my power to the rear of my bed.

we have decided on going with powerwerx red/black zip cord in 06g, 12g and 16g. as well as a resettle 100 amp cercuit breaker. On top of that i also bought a blue Sea fuse box found here as well as a couple of 12 v outlets like these
the fuse box looks like this


we are also going to wire up my power inverter and mount it where i cant see it and use a power cord that is plugged into it and run that to a outdoor household outlet. The setup might look like this

still not 100% sure on how were going to do it but i think i can mount that and the relay box in one of the "ammo storage" spaces from my decked system and have the 12v outlets and the 110 outlets sticking out of the back of it.

i guess we will see this weekend.

 

Wow i havnt updated this thread in a while.

so here is what i have been working on this week.

My brother let me barrow his tent cot and i figured what the heck lets see if i can mount it to my roof rack.

So 2 days ago i threw it onto the rack and it barely fits. I could almost just find a way to clamp It up there with its existing legs or I can remove the legs and hard mount it. Here is a picture


yesterday I went to home Depot and bought some anglr iron. I removed the oem legs and cut-down some 1" square tubing I had to replace the legs. It's a little hard to explain so here are some pictures of how it's going to mount.





Once it's mounted to my truck I'll drill 4 wholes through the angle iron and the top bar of my roof rack and add some quick disconnects.

It should work very well with the angle iron dispersing the weight over a larger area

This morning i finished up welding the legs to the angle iron and im currently working on priming and painting it.


I also wired up my 2 12v outlets to the rear of my decked system via my bluesea fuse box that we installed a few weeks ago.

 

nice looking set up. If it was me I'd maybe invest in some rear airbags or extra leafs to help with the sag when your loaded up. The truck appeared to squat a bit in the desert photos.

 

yes while it sags a tiny bit more than 1" once im fully loaded. i have some larger blocks here that i havnt had a time to install yet. Not sure i want to go with airbag route just yet

 

Finished mounting it up. It's actually very comfortable but I'm debating on removing the middle bar.

 

Here are some pictures of the tent cot packed away.
