Wil, if your going to mount the remote panel in the cab, can the battery combiner be mounted somewhere under the hood? I think I remember reading that BajaTaco was told that the control unit shouldn?t be exposed to the elements. Where would you recommend mounting the unit?

The only thing I saw in regards to exposing it to the elements (fire, water) is that it would void the Warranty.

Sounds like a great deal. I need to do a little research. I have a Slee battery tray sitting here and this is my next project along with installing the lights I snagged last week.
