New cab rack

I just installed a Wickum cab rack.
It has lumber ears that screw into bungs, in the top.
Next step is to add LED strip lights to the top bar.

Yes, it is also available with removable legs and lumber ears.
I'm going to install 2 15 in. LED's on the top.

I installed the LED's today but can't fish the wires, yet.
Some kind of obstruction, keeping the fish from going all of the way.

I removed the toolbox and rack, took the rack to my work table in the yard and fought the wires through it, with a flexible wire fish.

Tested, connected, tested, re-tested, then re-installed the rack and the box.

I had help, from wife, to move it back and forth and guide the wire fish.

The real hard work can now begin, connecting everything under the truck, into the junction box.

PO wired wrong colors for the trailer and I connected to them.
Now I get to test everything under the truck. Not much fun, crawling in and out, while switching and testing, but that's life, when you don't have a willing helper.
