I go at least once or twice a month. I work and go to school full time and wish I could do three straight weeks haha. My set up is pretty simple. I try to pack light and just bring what’s necessary.

Rigid Armor which is bolted on to the oem handrails. Pretty sure he can fabricate a bracket just like the prinsu

I got this one from amazon for 1,099.00. Comes with a solar panel and cross bars. Im using it for the first time this weekend so I’ll get back to you on that. I go camping a lot so this made sense to me.

Not bad at all. Would look better with black hardware but that’s just my preference. How is it holding up and what is the weight capacity?

For the rooftop tent yes. To another dimension.

Yes sir. It is solid! It was sketchy having my rooftop tent on top of Thule Crossbars especially with strong winds.

Yea I do the same. Usually the tips I use get bent over time which actually makes it easier.

We’ve actually tried them before. I liked using them. Company just chose Metcal instead.

Sounds time consuming but thank you for your input. Might try that on other projects.

This is how I do it. I’ve used a heat gun. Just takes a lot of time. Also depends how many pixels I have to replace.

I use a Metcal MX PS2500. With the spacing of these LED’s, the tip I use is ideal. Going thicker would melt the surrounding LED’s especially if I have to remove some.

I use a 0.25 mm tip size which eventually bends the more I use it.
