Looks like I need to be able to get in the garage, but look good.

Yes, I have to be ready to ‘unship’ my Midland antenna for entry into parking garages, car wash, etc.

Trying to test fit the Front Runner Nato Can holder, I can get great connection down at the airline track, now have to work on addressing the gap at drip rail, it was about 1/2 inch shorter and the base was drilled out to 3/8 of Inch , this would be great out of box solution out of the box.

Please post pictures of what your solution is for the gap. I would like to see what ends up working for this. Thanks

Thinking about some idea. I am sure I could 3D print a fix.

So you can see there is lot more flexibility on where you place lights on Leitner light bar.

It's hard to tell from the angle but those top clamp gaps may actually be useful to be able to install a protective barrier between the Frontrunner mount and the painted drip rail. Perhaps a strip of HDPE or similar.

Yes, I end up do that using one of the sliders from Ace Hardware, it worked perfect nice fit. Snugged right up.

Baja Designs S2 like installed for camp/work lights.

Wired up the Baja Design LP6 Pro and Squadron-R SAE lights. The route was clean after removing the driver side light plastics and pulling the wire up edge of the bumper. I lashed Baja designs wiring harness to the other wire harness to have clean wire install. Note I started with the wiring harness from Baja Design for LP6pro and Squadron-R but cut them down to to what I needed.

LP6 it has three mode of operation, which I wired in Garmin Power Switch which is powered by the 25 amp switched line so I could individually support High Beam ( White ) , Low Beam ( Red) , and Day time running lights ( Yellow) with virtual switch. Note there three separate power wires for each modes ( Yellow, White and Red wires).

One thing to note the two LP6 pro use 20 amp when in High Beam.

I used the empty ground bolts on the mid section of the fender for mounting the Garmin PowerSwitch.

For the Squadron-R SAE lights it is on the smaller 10 amp switched wire .

For the Radio Mic, I picked up "Universal Mobile Radio Microphone Hanger with Adhesive Back " from Amazon, it fit great on corner of the Owl "Grenadier Accessory Mounting Rail"

2 questions if you don’t mind…

Can you rotate the s2’s on the rack forward and back at all, or just up and down?

How did you mount the faceplate of the radio to the owl bracket? I love this idea for a HAM faceplate!

You can rotate ( it more like angle them in around foot for ward or backwards since it single bolt and and up and down,

How did you mount the faceplate of the radio to the owl bracket? I love this idea for a HAM faceplate!

They have Face plate bracket and used two bolt to tighten up to the owl bracket ( it came with the unit) , note you can see the two piece for face plate in photo above for the handset. The Wouxun KG-1000G Plus has a Twisted pair cable that connect the Face plate to the radio unit.

It is this panel for holding Faceplate Wouxun SAO-001 Inclined Front Panel Mount for Mobile Radios, there is flat plate and inclined one, they also sell them separately. I did see this HAM radio from Wouxun can use these attach points

Little time behind the wheel with my Son

The M6 K-lock Nut I used to secure the Garmin Power Switch to ground bolts on the Fender

 

[angstorms]

Picked some shovels or axe brackets from Builtright Industries for my shovel, Dewalt 32 inch D Handle shovel is from Home Depot, I had been using Dewalt planting shovel really like them. To attach the brackets to the rack you need the Leitner Bolt Kit-Track lock

I used the back that is angled up that came with radio, you need to get two bolts and drill out plate for bolts, 1/4"-20 thread.
