Where in AZ is that pic taken?youll find plenty of cactus to use for a pic!!! So many trails out here you can post up next to!
Hi @lalalofsky it's one of the Dirty Dog 4x4 range, I've got some details and pictures here on page 2930: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ou-do-to-your-jeep-jl-today.3033/post-1860443
It's "fixed" in about 30 seconds using JScan.
Where did you get the LED strip? Impossible trying to find stuff in thereAdded the Mopar Tailgate Table
Installation time = .25 of a beer, very easy.
Added molle bags:
Added LED light strip to the ‘dark pit’:
Seat covers look great, which ones are those?Some seat covers and the Taccom sun visor clips as a preventative measure. May have gone overboard on the Loctite, it seeped out a little.
They dont work for LED jeeps?
Installed new tail lights.
Very nice work, going to look into that light. Come in handy during long winter nights!My @ORACLElights cargo light finally arrived from USA.
I don't know what's up with Quadratec and their international orders but it takes them over a week before anything even gets dispatched lately. Anyway!
Like a lot of members here there was no way I could live with this plug sticking out. Either I'd break it, or my dog would break it. Plus, it wouldn't have worked for me anyway because I have this 12v outlet to only be hot when the engine is on because I've wired a dashcam to the back of it too.
I was really keen not to have wires visible everywhere so kudos to the members here too that advised running the wire for the Oracle light through the existing window trim.
It came off easy enough with the usual trim removal tools but a top tip for refitting it? Put your new wire inside the trim first, then press it down over the top of the existing wire.
Wanting to continue the OEM look, I needed to route the wire through the same holes and panels the existing wiper motor wires go through. I also have a dashcam attached to the back window so I took the opportunity to tidy the wiring for that too and route everything at the same time.
The black trim coverings on my Overland are just held in place with Velcro and a trim removal tool soon popped out the OEM wire hole "thingy".
I poked a length of net-curtain wire through first (it's a bit like fish tape I think?)
Then I just taped both my wires (dashcam + oracle light) to the white curtain wire and pulled them through.
I had to use cable ties to attach the wires to the OEM braiding.
Got a bit annoyed afterwards because if I had thought about it a bit more I could have probably fed my two wires through the same braiding
Anyway, it's as neat as it's gonna get really.
It's similarly tidy on the inside too.
At the other end then I took another recommendation from people that have fitted the Oracle cargo light previously and used some quick disconnect plugs/connectors - for the one day a year in the UK where it does actually stop raining and I can take the roof off. I also fitted another connector for the dashcam so both things will disconnect very easily.
Another tip... have a male / female connector for each device going in opposite directions. This way when you disconnect them they'll only ever connect back to the other connector and you won't get them mixed up. You wouldn't want your dashcam powered up only when the interior light comes on eh?
That was half the job done there.
The other half of the job was to then tap in to the power that feeds the existing light in the rear. This way my Oracle cargo light is only powered up when the interior lights are on (ie. when the tailgate is open). Don't forget, my 12v socket has been wired to ignition-on-only so I needed an alternative power source/supply. Broke one of the clips off trying to get this light out, I should have taken out the dog guard first really
More trim removal required in order to run the power from the light and down towards the rear corner of the Jeep.
Job done, time for a cup of tea and a biscuit.
And here now we have all the dis-connectable connectors in one place
I'm sure you know how this works but now as soon as I open my tailgate, the interior lights come on, which in turn feed power to my cargo light.
I probably need to take a better picture, my street is well lit so this photo doesn't do the cargo light justice, I'll take another pic from an empty car park or something.
Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who has fitted this light before and posted details of it elsewhere, your ideas and inspiration were great! I'm very grateful to you, it makes for a really nice, clean, OEM-looking installation.
Thanks everyone
They emailed me today and said mine would ship in the next 2 weeks
