The other new addition is a weBoost.

Dixie 4WD did a nice job fabbing a bracket that keeps it below the level of my roof rack when it's folded down.

I finally got a lighting setup installed on my ranger.



That said, this is probably the light that I'll end up getting the most use out of:

It's installed on the inside of the capper's back window so it can illuminate the tailgate when I've got it opened up.

Could you provide a little more info on that light you installed on your canopy window? The product, how you installed and powered it?

Right now, I've got a length of cheapo LED ribbon that I attach via little disks of Velcro on the bottom of the window. I just keep the LED ribbon (its about 3' long) coiled up and stuck to the inside of the Snugtop canopy via Velcro. When I camp, I plug it in via USB from the Snugtop USB hub they include on all their canopies, then press it up against the velcro. Its dimmable and provides a ton of light, or just enough.

Its a little tangly to try to keep it there full time, thus my interest in a solution like yours. Do tell! Appreciate it!

It’s a Baja Designs LED Dome Light.

The shop that installed it for me (Dixie 4WD in St. George, UT) fabbed the bracket and wired it in.

This is such a sweet build!! Have you ever noticed your engine cover or that area wet after driving in severe rain or after a wash? I’m debating on the engine cover. I hear the horror stories but every time I check to see if anything is wet or leaking the top of the engine and the spark plug area look dry as a bone.

That's how it starts. 1st you spend $25 on Amazon to mod an Antenna. Next,,, your staring at $25k in "Mod" receipts on your kitchen table wondering if maybe you've "over-done" it a bit...
This is true, for me it started with running boards.......
Then it Snowballed!😁😆
