Yep.
Yep.
Yes - I got out some calipers to measure the grab rail - it’s 0.97” - so if you put on a liner, it will prevent rotation. I got the ones QRgren mentioned - from Amazon - in 1”. They come with liner sheets. Those are different from the ones Owl Off-road recommends. Also, Baja Designs emailed me last night - they recommend the same ones that Owl recommends (the Axia Alloys ones)
The mounts in the Abenteuer kit are from Stedi as well and look nice and solid, think I have found my lights:
Good point - I just remove them when not in use
If you are running the Leitner roof rack, or perhaps others that mount on the rail brackets, this prevents rotation.
I have another bracket already in use. My tubes are not free to rotate. Maybe with a very strong twist. But not under normal usage.
Sorry to ask quite a basic question, but I'm struggling to find the right DTP connectors here in the UK. Can you link where you bought yours from so I can try and match a product code?
Try this company. I used them to purchase dtp plugs ,sockets and pins
www.3waycomponents.co.uk
Motorsport suppliers often have them.
No it was a good question - many/most options on lights will require you to add a DTP connector, it’s important to get the right one. Don’t forget to pick up a crimper if you’re using a closed connector (which most people would recommend)
As a beginner in DTP world, how do you know which is the "right one" for the outlets along the roof? Thanks
TXJOHN - go a few posts up and check out the link reposted by TheDocAUS. That is a brilliant write-up. Since you’re in the US, the easiest way to get it right is to order through Agile Offroad. They make sure all their kits are correct, regardless who manufactures it. I’ve purchased a few things from them - they really dummy-proof everything for those of us who are beginners on mechanical and electrical stuff. Under “Grenadier,” go to “Electrical” - order one female kit, one male kit, and one crimper. That way, you are guaranteed to get it right. Also watch the instructional video on the link from the repost I mentioned above from TheDocAUS. Just a note of caution - polarity was bizarrely switched on assembly on one of my ports (in Hambach), so I had to do black to red and red to black on one of my accessories. No biggie - just took an extra few minutes to figure out why it wasn’t working. Just part of the Gen 1 charm of those early deliveries ;o)
Thanks for the references. TheDoc's post makes me feel like I want to grad school.
