OK, so I was just kidding about the Romex. Sorry about that lame attempt at humor.
First things first: will figure out what electrical parts I have to work with then head over to Camper World for the rest.
I'm still wondering if there's a reason not to assemble the unit on the ground. Sure would like to know that now if it's the case. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Rodster, Firstr I wanted to say Happy New Rack To You! Secondly, if you have Q's, call Paul at Gobi or PM me. I have done a few racks with Gobi and know some good tricks to the installation and wires.
First pre wire the lights and mount them to the rack while it is all on the ground. Than make your harness and run from the engine bay. You will utilize both marker lights for access but will only need to run through one boot (Dr SD). Just get some some wire loom to cover the 5" of exposed wires. the rest of the wires are inside the rack.
Once mounted up and installed on your roof, the final connections can be made with disconnects in your engine bay or up just outside the marker lights. Make sure to use H2O proof connectors.
Good luck, and post some pics.
I have my Ski rack and bike fork mounts on and am mounting the rear tire mounts some time this week. Should look like the prototype SUT when it's done. Can't wait for Moab now!
