I've read just about every post on the board re: installing a Gobi rack w/lights and now that there's a stealth in a box in my garage, a couple questions if I may . . .

If I got it right, it looks like everyone mounts the rack, then mounts the lights, then deals with the wiring. My plan is (or was) to set the rack on sawhorses, mount the lights and build/install the wiring harness while it's still on the ground, then mount the whole shebang in one shot. Bad/good idea?

Also, I remember reading somewhere that's it best to enclose the rooftop wires in conduit. True? Anyone know what kind of conduit is best? Is it the black, ribbed flexible tubes with a slit down the side? Or is wrapping the wiring harness with electrician's tape enough?

Any other suggestions for the overall install?

Thanks much for any and all advice!
