This turned out pretty sweet. I documented the material and installation as there are some alterations for doing this. I ordered everything and went for it. My google drive has the 2.6 MB pdf file and here's a video of the lights going through the color's
AZ MVD made me register this as a Dune Buggy because it was over #2,500 LBS. She said it was fully street legal and therefore didn’t need an off-road sticker. Registration cost almost $800 for the first year and will drop as it ages. The issued license plate is full size and not motorcycle size...
I have the “HORN” back lit however, I ordered this switch off Amazon and swapped out the switch from WD’s. It just needed some extra wiring I already had from the acc power to light it.
The hazard switch is also not back lit. I have not tackled this yet. I did see a video on YouTube that the guy...
Congratulations. On the door locks, if you lightly fist pump the door more closed at the same time you are turning the key it will lock.
On mine the two passenger doors are doing that and the driver’s side is fine.
We been using this in the Ford Bronco back seat and I thought I would try the fit in the ADV 5 Northstar back seat. It fits great. It has a built in board on the bottom and the front part hangs off the front seats with a couple straps over the head rests so he has a large level platform.
I had...
This is a look inside the mirror plastic mount and the coaxial cable as it’s routed forward under hood. Don’t coil it up anywhere on its path down to the radio. There is enough cable but not to much for this application.
I’m going to write up this installation on a pdf. It turned out really nice...
They call the Rugged M1 business channel. It’s what they use for off -road racing. I think it’s UHF. they make another one, GMRS. I’m not familiar with that one. These Rugged ones are almost 50 watt.
Installed this Rugged Radio and antenna a little different than they illustrate for these Xpedition’s. I think it turned out pretty sweet. The radio location doesn’t even bother my wife. No COM system, just an amplified speaker mounted to rear view mirror with a Rugged designed mount. I made the...
Hi Cris,
My light wiring consisted of a chase light however, I did route wire to a speaker I mounted to the rear view mirror.
I unmounted the passenger side of the front ceiling liner. Untucked the part behind the roll bar and you will find a factory wire loom routed inside the A pillar that...
Yes, also considered doing that for the same reasons. Was also thinking this does a better job of balancing out the weight but I am still thinking about what you’re saying.
Currently I’m working on a M1 Rugged Radios installation that’s different than what they did. Stay tuned.
Designed artwork for this custom “CHASE LIGHT” Rocker Switch ordered on Amazon.
This light is for dusty conditions so the person following doesn’t crash into you if you have stopped.

In case anyone else is interested, I did this drawing for a better understanding of the Pulse Bar and how to wire up accessories with a relay and back lit 5 wire rocker switch. A link to this pre-made wire harness from Amazon is listed along with a “white” back lit switch. You will note, the...
Taking advantage of the space within the spare tire rim to store what is need to change a tire. My air compressor too. Will be working on rubber mounting the cross wrench, for now a couple socks and a bungee to keep it quiet and in place. This is the lock and ride Polaris spare tire mount in the...
Knocked out this simple bracket for mounting a power outlet for my iPhone so cable doesn’t lay across Ride Command screen. It has 3 quick charging ports with an on/off switch. Hot wired to the Pulse Bar so it has power with key on or off. It’s turned off via power switch. Wire clips passed...
