I have the trigger six shooter - I liked the idea of using my phone as the controller. I just added a 12v and 2usb panel in the bed and put it on one of the switches. Went back and forth on just doing an add a circuit to the existing 12v fuse, and I may change to that, but for ease of install, it was nice just to plug it into the switch controller. Also nice to have the choice of having power on in the bed even with the truck off if I need.
Internally mounted bumper winch, air compressor mounted under the coolant reservoir, lights on a roof rack, rear bumper lights, electric tonneau cover (though that should be battery direct), second battery and solar charger in bed for camping set up, etc.
First time ever watching, I heard your voice and thought to myself, "this dude sounds like he got some Pittsburgheese in him" then I saw the Steelers hoodie....
Wish there was a more step by step video of "how to wire" lights for beginners. I hate paying hundreds of dollars to have someone do it because I'm and idiot with stuff like this.
Is that a Baltimore accent? Also what spools of wiring do you buy to run from accessories to the auxbeam switch panel? Like is 14awg speaker cable the same kind of cable to use for accessories to switch panels? I know this is probably a dumb question to you.
Like the ditch lights. That's on my "to do" list but still a ways out. Have you thought about rear bumper lights? Or even under-carriage lights for those times when your out doing night time rock crawling and aren't sure how much clearance you have over that one precarious boulder.
So basically what ever you connect to the switch panel needs to be grounded with the black wire & only the red wire connects to the panel? I'm gonna install my panel today so I'm trying to figure this out lol never done this before. What if the light that I'm trying to connect comes with a relay that needs to be mounted, do I cut that off?
Where did you run the wires for the panel? I have a silverado and a Nissan rogue I'm adding lights to and am unsure if I want to go through the firewall (need to make space from the engine bay side to do that) or run it outside the engine bay and along the frame railes inside of the front left fender,and into the cab by the hood latch cable.
Which fuse did you tap into on the stock fuse box for the switch panel? I got a ‘22 z71 and can’t figure out which fuse is the ACC. I’m thinking I might just have to splice off of one of the cigarette lighters
Psssst, all you need is a stick, duct tape, and a couple mag lights. Who cares if you get sued for having a flashlight go through someone’s windshield after falling off your truck? Edit: this didn’t actually happen to me. Just heard this exact set-up before from an oxygen thief that I used to hunt with. *Used to is key. He actually did it but got ticketed by TX trooper. One case where police brutality would’ve been completely justified.
Bed lights and aux backup lights.
Every time I glance at that thumbnail page I read it as "DRY CLEAN LED WIRING" LOL!
Oh jeez now I’m gonna have to change it lol.
Already have bed and reverse lights though.
Dang that turned out awesome. Rear chase lights. Back corners behind back window in flood amber 👍🏻
Solid ideas! Also considering the third brake light that houses additional lights.

I just looked that up, looks nice! I hadn't heard of that kit but the phone thing sounds neat. OEM bed switch works with the truck off fyi.

LOL I'm actually not that close to Pittsburgh.
Heated washer fluid and heated wiper blades! I have both on my truck and they are lifesavers! I use a relay for the washer fluid as its a 60 amp draw
Is that a thing? Lol never heard of it
@@matt13ross Mercedes runs coolant lines through the washer fluid to keep it liquid.
The solid black stickers cover up the unused switches so it’s less blinding at night
True, it hasn't bothered me yet as it's nice an tucked away.
Split loom the exposed wire with black.
Huh?
Compressor - 589 Fab for the ARB set up. Now if only your garage was just a bit taller...
I looked at that a few times, I'd love on board air, but still debating.
And yes, I need a much taller garage lol.
Over hood curve led bar or a rail of 6 spotlights on front roof
I'd love a roof rack with lighting front and rear.
Dust lights in the back of the bed would be nice
Near the rear window?
What are the additional plugs called?
This is awsome ty for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
What size wire did you use to extend the wires?
Wish there was a more step by step video of "how to wire" lights for beginners. I hate paying hundreds of dollars to have someone do it because I'm and idiot with stuff like this.
Car 12V wiring is pretty darn simple. You can do it!
@@matt13ross for you it seems simple. Plus I'm trying to install 24v light to a 12v battery in my truck so it's even more complicated
Is that a Baltimore accent? Also what spools of wiring do you buy to run from accessories to the auxbeam switch panel? Like is 14awg speaker cable the same kind of cable to use for accessories to switch panels? I know this is probably a dumb question to you.
Under frame lights, wheel wells, and possibly on sides?
I considered rock lights. It’s a possibility
Like the ditch lights. That's on my "to do" list but still a ways out. Have you thought about rear bumper lights? Or even under-carriage lights for those times when your out doing night time rock crawling and aren't sure how much clearance you have over that one precarious boulder.
I actually have rear bumper light but they’re tied into the reverse lights.
Rock lights would be useful but are overplayed so I’m a little hesitant 😂
Add reverse auxillary lights.
I added them into the stock bumper long ago. Or do you mean additional ones?
Do you have plans to upgrade the battery or alternator in the future as you add more accessories?
At this point no, if it was a more serious overland build I would add a second battery though.

You won't need a relay with this kit.
Dude you didn’t really show how to exactly run wires to the fuses box.
Does it have the strobe future
No
👍

Through the firewall by the steering shaft. Very easy to do on these trucks.

I have it in a video. Might not be this video but the other one about lighting. I don’t remember it without looking.
Hahaha I actually found that after I posted this but thank you!
Perfect!
@@Antjmartino can you share? Thx

Wanted to mount my aux beam switch same way. Does the lower dash panel come off easy?
Hrm, I'm not sure. I don't remember if I removed mine.
Rock lights
Still considering that.
ZR2 sport bar with lights.
I'm actually not a fan of big bed mounted sport bars.
Does anyone know where to get that adapter plug he used for the lights, that would work with rough country lights?
Adapter plug?
@@matt13ross the one used to run the positive and negative instead of using the wire harness
How exactly did you do the accessory cable?
What do you mean?
I can’t find in my fuse box the ACC fuse I’m not sure if I can use the fog light fuse, my Colorado doesn’t have fog lights from the factory
There are a few different fuse areas you can use.

YIKES! lol problem is, old mag lights aren't even bright!
Do you lift? Guy looks like he has 18 inch arms
Lol!! I do enjoy lifting yes
