I'm a new 100 series owner (99 champagne pearl) and new sub also. Your videos are great! One bit of constructive criticism I'd offer is it would be nice if you show the more difficult part for most people. Like routing the wires. I feel like if a person can't cleanly mount a light, their wire job would likely be atrocious and probably even unsafe as well. Totally not bashing your great videos, just offering up my 2 cents.
Yes that’s it!! One positive wire to all the side lights and a separate one for rears. They run along the windshield, tucked into the side molding (there’s a nice groove that fits about 5 wires). Ground to where the rack bolts up to the roof.
@@chrishilyer9904 I've sold auto parts for the last 26 years and carriage bolts are what all the packages I've ever seen said also. Maybe an east coast term, who knows...haha
The correct name for this type of bolt is a "BUMPER BOLT". This type of bolt was used to fasten the steel bumpers to the bumper bracket of cars before the advent of integrated soft bumpers. A "shoulder bolt" is one with threads only on the lower portion of the bolt shaft with the upper portion being smooth. These are used when a snug fit is desired between the bolt shaft and the bolt hole.
Looks like a Gobi roof rack but the roof mounts that mount the rack to the roof of the vehicle don’t say Gobi. Is this a Gobi knock off? If so, where can I get this roof rack? Thanks
Yup, I’ve had them for a while now and they seem to be ok. I thought about getting the cheaper amazon ones however I heard they take on water or some leds burn out. That’s why I went with the more expensive kc
Could you make a video on the wiring of the lights and where you ran them to the battery
Yes please. This video is incomplete without that.
so how did you run power to the roof rack??
So how did you get your wiring up there without drilling any holes ?
Lolz. That is why I clicked on this video.
@@japjotsingh8711 same !
Some people tuck it down the side of the windshield and through the cowl and firewall

Great video and work Mr. Chow I was trying to figure how I can do mines but your way is the best
Bro, what brand is your roof rack? Thanks
Could you please tell me where you got those Front yellow Lights and how big are they. I would so much appreciate it thank you
I believe the bolt is called a shoulder bolt. How did you run the supply wires?
Yes that’s it!! One positive wire to all the side lights and a separate one for rears. They run along the windshield, tucked into the side molding (there’s a nice groove that fits about 5 wires). Ground to where the rack bolts up to the roof.
I have heard them called Carriage Bolts, maybe its a geographical thing?
@@chrishilyer9904 I've sold auto parts for the last 26 years and carriage bolts are what all the packages I've ever seen said also. Maybe an east coast term, who knows...haha
yes, when I'm looking for those style of bolts, I look for carriage bolts!
How did you wire it?
Do you know how to run wiring through the tubes of the rack? Would like to do that on my 4Runner-mounted Gobi stealth rack.
What kind of crossbars do you have clipped to the roof basket?
Chow what kinda roof rack do you have and where can I get one thanks brother great videos keep it up
Zsach
Gobi!

Do you think these brackets can fit 4runner 5th gen factory OEM side rails ?

It’s a gobi lol
Hello, how did you mount the ones in the front? What kinda brackets did you use? Thanks :)
The front of the rack has a plate that’s welded onto the roof rack
Specifically for lights, no bracket required
My bars aren’t round, but I’m thinking that would still work because it’s adjustable and has the padding inside that’ll form fit around it.
I just picked up an Loadwarrior for my rig and was looking for ways to mount lights to it. Glad I found this. Also, is that an FC RX7 in the garage??
I had the mega warrior for a while too!! And yes, I have 2 fc’s in there, someday I’ll have time for them 😑😑😑
Awesome looking lights!
The switch pro looks great and super convenient! How do you like it? Do you have an install/overview or feedback video?
Switchpro is great, really cleans up the wiring. Bluetooth app is really convenient when out camping
are those light performance good and stable?
Yup, I’ve had them for a while now and they seem to be ok. I thought about getting the cheaper amazon ones however I heard they take on water or some leds burn out. That’s why I went with the more expensive kc
Hey, nice vid! How do you connect the lights to ur phone?
