Bushwhacking - One of the many advantages of no paint & stainless steel (video)

[L3it3R]

I didn't think you could wrap the mirrors? Mine have done a ton of bushwacking (hours worth) with zero protection and still look fine. I do slow down to walking speed to reduce the force of impact for hard, woody branches and trees. I'm sure the little tell-tales the back sides of the mirrors do have would polish right out with some fine sandpaper, but I haven't bothered.

I’m sure you could, but I haven’t seen it done. I tapped a tent someone left up at a tailgate (not supposed to) as we were leaving and the white paint rubbed off with a magic eraser and you literally cannot tell.

Hauling...I LOVE IT. Did the same with mine recently while clearing hunting lanes on my land. I don't have a good vid or pics but did get one after I cleared enough overhang to get out and take pic. I added a MARS rack long ago with front/side rails & lights so limbs didn't slide over top smoothly, but it was hands down way less nerve racking than when I did it in my ford truck. I got a bunch of black locust tree and I can still hear those thorns in my head scratching down my clear coat lol.

Oh, btw I need to show you guys how I wired up my offroad lights. I didn't use roof power feed, I instead tapped into the 120v wiring in bed. Mounted a buck converter and remote switch to frame and kept it all tucked up under bed side. I did this b/c I need to use my light bar on the back county roads for hogs/deer and if someone comes around corner I don't have time to fumble with screen to toggle on/off roof power switch. The bed power stays on so I just have to hit the remote to toggle on off (it can control 4 light independently). I will post picks shortly to this same reply.

Here are a few pics of the waterproof stepdown converter and light controller mounted before I wired them in. Converter is on left. It is a 120vac> 12vdc and has two outputs each rated for 400w. I used one output for front/side lights, other is for rear facing light bar, WeBoost Drive Overland, starlink power feed (haven't mounted those yet). Light Controller is on right and though is a Blazer cheapo from Nothern Tool, it can control 4 lights independently with wireless remote from in cab while driving. The side lights I mounted are actually rock lights that are mounted to an angled 3d printed mount to the MARS side rail so they aim a bit down for area lighting.

I just handheld my cell phone while I drove and took the video. I think it looks more natural than a hard-mounted video camera.

I do wish companies making exterior accessories for the Cybertruck took into account the potential for their accessories to snag brush and created designs that retained the Cybertrucks clean, snag-resistant lines.

Just replayed your vid with Jurassic Park soundtrack (Incident at Isla Nublar) playing in the background. Chills.
