Maximus-3 sport bar

Did you ever hook up the lights? Would have been cool if they had a hole in the sport bar for you to pass wires into. I am thinking of drilling a hole in the pipe under the top panel and putting a grommet in it.

Not yet, no. But that’s essentially what I’ll be doing. Still need to figure out if I want to tap into the tail light or the trailer plug pins. Haven’t had time and a second set of hands to do it lol looking like mid July I’ll probably tackle it

I decided against drilling. I'm just going to zip tie loomed wire. I wired the lights yesterday. Hopefully I can get to the rest this weekend.

I'm tapping the trailer harness (using a curt harness) for the brake lights and the white lights will be tapped off the bed lights. Just need to figure out what wires to tap for the bed light.

I didn’t do the white lights on mine, just the brake lights. You have a link for the harness or a photo of how you wired it up?

Probably a little over kill but I like plug and play.

This won't work.
The brake and turn signals are on the same wire in the trailer harness.

I'm going to tap the tailgate brake light harness for the red lights and the bed light for the white lights.

Any updates? You would have a great review with all this time. Debating buying this set up but can't find any long term reviews.

It’s been great! Zero rust even being in Michigan and daily driving it in all condition. Can’t say the same about my OE rubicon rear rock sliders and my warm grille guard. Both of those are rusted, but not the maximus bar. Ended up wiring the brake lights up by running the wires down inside the drivers side tube, drilled a small hole in the plastic bed rail trim (covered by the metal plate when installed) dropped the wire down behind the tail light and spliced it into the harness for the trailer hook up. Works perfect

It looks great, any ideas on options with a bed cover?

Have not seen or heard of any bed cover that will work with or without modification. I’m sure anything is possible with enough money and imagination but the way this mounts it would have to be fully inside the rails to work. Sadly I’ve not seen any that don’t overlap the bed rails
