First trip was to the local body PPF protection by Cartech.

I opted for may finish protection.

Now started working on the rear Control Panel Board want to save rear bed truck space so decided to piggy back it on the front rear panel of the canopy.

Canopy Control Panel pre layout ideas

As I did not like the idea of the airbag system components being under the car for maintenance or future leaks from dirt and debris decided to do some customer designs on Fusion 360 and print the brackets relevant to the height of air lines and system.

 

[greyhoundlc79]

Noticed the airbag was sitting way to close to the exhaust pipe for my liking added some additional heat shield.

Also the stock shield with the elbow air connect was just not going to work so I had to add a straight fitting instead of the elbow.

Needed a way to get the main 2AWG wire from the main battery to the inside of the canopy, as I dont like drilling holes in the body of the vehicle, decided to sacrifice one removable back panel with 4 small holes 2 large for the 2AWG wire and 2 for the airbags Left and Right, also needed a way to seal the entries from dirt and dust getting inside the canopy.

So decided to design a pass through.
