Almost. Front and back lights will each have one relay and one in-line fuse. Both fuses are rated at 20 amps.

Or at least that was the plan until you asked the question. Are you suggesting a 10 amp fuse instead of a 20 for the back? Or maybe you were thinking I'd run both front and back through one 20?

Headed back out to the garage. Tonight's project: remove the factory roof bars and prep the roof for the Gobi install tomorrow. Please do call if there's something I should know now.

Thanks!

Your 4 front lights are going to pull about 19 amps so a 20 amp inline fuse there. The two back ones will pull at least 9 amps, maybe more depending on the length so 10 amp inline fuse there. All you're protecting is the circuit (wire) so if it's sized for 20 amps you'd be okay but I'd still only go 10 or 15 amps for the rear if it were me. With the voltage drop you might want to go a bit over 10 amps.

Rack and all wiring are installed and working perfectly. Finished things up last night with RTV-silicone in the roof grommet. Ditto on the firewall grommet, which is now unofficially known as the Hummer Hymen. (I swear the truck screamed when I penetrated it with the X-acto.)

The project took quite a bit more time than expected because first I had to find my tools (somewhere between Xmas and Easter boxes), then had to find supply shops in the area with the parts I wanted, then exploring the truck learning where everything is, then finally doing the install. Future projects will definitely go a lot faster now that that's all done.

The rack looks great and is definintely built like a Hummer. Very impressive workmanship, Gobi!

Also installed a locking fuel door and the Framecam at the same time. Framecam required modifying/cutting the rear tire carrier/license plate setup. Looks pretty darned good if I do say so.

Thanks everyone in this thread and others for the help!

What nerve!

Rod, you don't really think we'll let you get away with dubbing that thing the Hummer Hymen and not posting pictures, do you?

Tower~

Pictures of the rack and cam are coming. And if you want a picture of the firewall grommet all busted, shiny and sealed, say the word and I'll post it, too, although the whole poke-it-'til-it-splits ordeal still makes me nervous.
