I really like this. Can you share links to some of the materials you purchased? I may be interested in building my own kit similar to yours. I could use some light under the BakFlip.

Great job 2X! I apologize if already posted, but what gauge wire did you run from the front of the truck? I'm thinking of running my lights off AUX 4 as well as a switch in the bed...

Got my lights in today, now just need to find time to run some wires and mount these to the headliner in my A.R.E. shell. Thanks for the motivation!

Sorry, Nick! Been out of pocket and will continue to be for the next few weeks (work travel). I would be happy to put together a complete parts/supplier list to share with everyone when things settle down a bit. Thanks again for the interest.

You, too DA - sorry for the delay. I jumped the number 9 fuse in the front, which sends constant power to the trailer hook-up. I then ran an 18 ga. wire a few feet down and tapped into the trailer wiring harness. I then hid it in the existing wire loom that runs from the tail lamps along the rear bumper for a clean install.

Hope this helps!

Sorry... you'll have to read the other thread. Just don't have the time to work out all the details for a kit version. Very much appreciate the vote of confidence, though!
