I use a fusetap plugged in to the fuse 52 position for my Wolfbox mirror camera. I may be adding a second fusetap to that fusetap if I tie my Voswitch JL300 switch box. These are both low current loads and should not overload the original fuse 52 circuit.

I was given an EGR deflector. The deflector itself is OK, but I understand why someone would not like the mounting hardware. The EGR supplied screws were so small they stripped the plastic mounting inserts. Fortunately I had some larger diameter stainless screws, so I used them, and that made...

Now, on to mounting of the camera for the rear view camera. What I purchased was a refurbished Wolfbox G930 mirror camera, their upgraded WDR rear view camera, a 33 foot (10 meter) rear camera extension wire, their hardwire kit, and the OEM mounting adapter. Notes on the Wolfbox: 1). I chose...

In order to operate my cap mounted tail lights I wanted to tie into the trailer towing lighting circuit. I didn't want to cut in to the JT wiring harness, but I also didn't want to use my trailer towing connector. Instead I opted to use an adapter, as suggested by another member here, that had...

I finished the tail lights I mounted above the rear hatch. It took some bravery as I had to drill out some rivets and replace them with rivnuts and also drill and tap some holes. I used 10-24 rivnuts to replace two rivets, one right and one left, and drill and tapped two holes for a 10-24...

In the end finding a used Voswitch JL300 on eBay made my decision. It was cheap enough that running extra wires from the engine compartment doesn't bother me any more.

Hey folks, Executive Summary: The fusetaps supplied with my Wolfbox sourced hardwire kit were 15A, way too big for the wire supplied with the hardwire kit. (Edit: I forgot to mention that the wires in question appear to be either 22awg or 24awg.) These fuses should be 2A or 3A. If you have the...

The reason I wanted to avoid the Voswitch and OEM accessory approach is that the loads I want to switch, in addition to being low current, are all near the drivers seat. To me it doesn't make sense to control a low current load near the driver with relays in the engine compartment. But it...

Does anyone make a low current set of auxiliary switches? I would like to control some low current things (5 amps or less) in the cab. A set of 4 to 6 OEM looking auxiliary switches, kind of like the Voswitch JL300, that fit in the factory auxillary switch location would be great. Or better...

I have found some inexpensive surface mount LED tail lights in both 10 inch and 15 inch lengths, about 1.2-1.5 inches wide on eBay. These will fit nicely above the rear window and will not interfere with the window opening. They are available in red, amber, and white. The red ones have three...

Hi Jack, Thanks for your thoughts, but we are set on our plan for a few reasons that we think solves all of our issues. High mounted rear tail lights are a bonus. The real first issue is the very dark tunnel vision we get from having the Alu-Cab cap mounted pretty much permanently. The rear...

Yes, there is a wire that is always hot in the tow wiring, and I plan to use to power the interior lights in our Alu-Cab. Those lights have their own switches. What I need is a wire that is hot only when the truck is in RUN mode, and off when the truck is in OFF mode. I also prefer this wire...

First mod... A simple one... At the top of rear interior of the cap is a pop riveted on cover whose purpose is to cover and protect the wiring to the three interior lights and the CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Light). I will need to access that space to run new wires. So I drilled out the...

Is there an existing source of 12V "Ignition On" power in the rear of the truck bed I could tap in to to power a rear view camera that would mount on top of a bed cap? Secondary question: If there is such a power source, is there a commercially available connector I can buy so I can insert the...

We are in 17545. We'd be happy to give your crate a nice home. Sending PM.

Lastly, several weeks ago fellow Gladiator owner "dutch7" asked for pics of how the Alu-Cab rear cap door seals on the tailgate. So, way late, here are some pics. Please ask for others if these don't help.

Some things I need or want to do... 1) Unlike the RSI you cannot unlatch the windows from the inside. I am going to have to modify at least two of the locks or make a special tool that allows me to unlatch the locks from inside the cap. 2). We carry bikes on a rear hitch mounted bike rack...

Hi JT folks, I am starting this thread to share information on the, actually our, Alu-Cab Canopy. (I don't know why Alu-Cab call it a Canopy... It's really just a cap.) Before we bought ours we were only able to get some of our questions answered, but now that we have it any concern we had...

Thanks FL Robert. Being new to Jeeps I didn't know about Oracle yet. I looked at the adapter you referenced, and then looked at all of Oracle's JT offerings and found their part number 6113-504 for their "ORACLE LIGHTING 7 PIN TRAILER WIRING T-HARNESS ADAPTER PLUG". Oracle's 6114-504 gives me...

Hi folks, We have an Alu-Cab cap that currently has a CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Light) that I have yet to connect.... Because I prefer to avoid cutting into factory wiring harnesses when possible. So, it would be nice to find a Plug 'n Play way to power the Alu-Cab supplied CHMSL...
