In this video, Garrett learns a tough lesson about where to wire accessories and passes that knowledge on to you. Adding a light bar, pods, lighted whips, or a stereo? This video will help you get started.

Thanks very helpful, just wired in light bar, ran wires though center dash up through roll bar . 2.5 hours not bad for a rookie

[@chanceseiler]

Thank you so much for this video. Just got mine & had no clue how to di simple wiring.

[@G-Man-kc2nm]

Nice work, at least you’re honest with us. I’ve taken apart cars and trucks for the same reason you just did. Then a friend would come over a show me a much better way to install what I was working with. Live and learn. That’s a real nice machine. Thanks.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep with all these new machines it’s hard to find anything on them. So you just have to figure it out sometimes yourself. 👍 -Garrett

[@richardgarcia5850]

Thanks for the video....looking forward to more info on future projects on the krx ...I’m getting ready to do my Bluetooth and speakers , lighted whips and light bar .....

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep I just completed all that and will have a vid soon on it. 👍 -Garrett

[@Pokeyrn30]

Ummmm it might have been nice to see how to get that top of the console off, i cannot get mine apart, as opposed to all of the what not to do

Hey Richard, what are you using your Bluetooth for?

[@malejc]

Great video . Can I put an amp in that front huge space and get it powered from that post thanks

[@justaddmudd2852]

Great info, thanks for sharing

[@brents1643]

Very helpful thank you

[@davidbroome6437]

Gray tube between battery and front off firewall is for pulling wires for winch and lights .

[@marvinevans8789]

I like the light bar and whips I see at the end while Dave is leading Garrett at Sand Hollow. I understand that there is power already wired to just below the whip mounting hole at back of the cage? I’m looking forward to seeing your wiring and installs. 👍😎

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep that was a glimpse of my new lights that we sell on our site. The next vid will be coming out soon of all the accessories I put on the KRX and the bus bar thoughts. -Garrett

[@DUNEATV]

Sweet! Nice job! 👍

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Are you starting to feel the KRX more now? 😀 trying to work on you. -Garrett

[@DUNEATV]

Deranged Off-Road I am! Wish I could redo that video...🥺

[@DerangedOffRoad]

All good don’t worry about that. I need to learn more about the YXZ to be honest. -Garrett

[@DUNEATV]

Deranged Off-Road We should hook up and share of the two experiences

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yeah that would be cool, any plans of you coming this way anytime?

[@vmonticalvo]

Would love to see a Glamis Dune review on the Krx..

[@xcit]

Great video Garrett thank you. Can you do an install of the KRX interactive display?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I would love to but I don’t have plans right now to put one in. I have an intercom setup in there now. -Garrett

[@TylerCNatureTy]

Is that a radio mounted by the parking break?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

No, I don’t have anything by the parking break.

[@craigmarshall40]

Thanks for the video I have a 2023 krx 1000 . I am going to install a S pod switch box do you know how many amps the bus bar is good for?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I had a com system, cube lights, lighted whips, turn signal and rock lights on mine. The main light bar I wired straight to the battery. I believe it’s around 20 amp to 25 amps. -Garrett

[@vaporizer28]

How do you pull wires thru front firewall to dash?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

You can use the pre installed pipe for the winch wires or you can fish them through the top under the hood. Right above the shock mounts you will see a place where you can run them through. That’s were I did mine.

[@austinwitman8759]

Heard there was a plastic tube running from the winch area to the battery for power cables. Not sure if this is true but a good idea for Kawasaki to implement.

[@tidre6]

Yes there is

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yes it does have one. 👍

[@davidbroome6437]

The tube runs from winch to battery , I pulled 5 wires thru it .

[@boblaws9851]

I mounted a couple of work lights on the rear on the flag mounts. (don't need a flag, and hate whips) I know there are wires under the fender, but where do they go, and how do you connect them to a switch? I haven't torn mine down that far yet to try to trace where they go. Hoping maybe someone knows. Would be nice to just use the pre-wire that's already there for the rear lights.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

So I have and they are just hot when key is on. Since most whips are ran off a remote or Bluetooth on your phone the wires work great for that. I tried to trace them and didn’t have any luck. I have a install vid coming out soon with everything I added to my KRX. I’ll be show casing some cool light bars that we sell on our website on that vid as well. -Garrett

[@boblaws9851]

@@DerangedOffRoad I was afraid of that, but thanks for confirming. Saved me a lot of aggravation trying to figure it out. Don't think anyone would like riding behind me if those lights were always on. LOL Just mounted a 12" light bar on the front bumper. Took a bit of custom bracket work since Kawasaki chose to slope the bumper bar down towards the ground. Not cool. Light bar mounts from the bottom and not enough angle adjustment to get the light bar leveled out. Just need to mount the switch and figure out what to do with the extra mile of wire that came with the wiring harness/relay/switch kit now. I will probably end up cutting them to a proper length to keep things tidy behind the dash.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

In the next vid I will talk about that all that as well. Just cut all the wires and use heat shrink tubing to go over the connections. It will look really good and not come loose.

[@donniejohnson8137]

I got a 2021 krx and i have pulled out everything on passenger side of consol and it has been a pain in the you know what ......why i got it out i am putting in heat mats sound proof mats running trun Singles kit and running rock crawler lights and running led 8" bars off the back bar on top and i have put on mirrors with lights and a light bar on top ......yea...i been trying to get all this run and done still in the works doing it ...

[@SpeeeedyG]

I don’t have power on the bus bar. Is there a fuse or something that controls it?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yes you will find that fuse in the box behind your driver’s seat. 👍

[@SpeeeedyG]

Deranged Off-Road thank you bro

[@chiefandmeatvriders9583]

Great video thanks for helping us out how many accessories can you run on that bus bar also would the winch be connected there to. Thanks

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I have lighted whips, coms system, rock lights, lighted mirrors and small light bar on the bus bar. If it was me I would run the winch straight off the battery which they have a tube installed for that. -Garrett

[@chiefandmeatvriders9583]

@@DerangedOffRoad thanks

[@micheledouglas6095]

I can’t get the front 2 plastic screws to stay when I reinstall the dash. (The 2 on top by the windshield) Any suggestions?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

It’s probably because the bottom piece pushes down when trying to install. Use a long small flathead to try and hold the bottom piece before pushing in the plastic rivet. -Garrett

[@deanscharphorn6035]

hello i am looking at getting the 2023 KRX4, what windshield do you have

[@DerangedOffRoad]

We sell the Dirt Warriors vented windshield and it works great. We will have one soon for the four seater. -Garrett

[@crustyz422]

Do you have any videos or do you know of any on rock light install on the krx? Locations and where/how you ran the wiring etc. Thanks man!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I’m not sure, I like to zip tie mine up in the fender areas so I don’t have to drill anything. That way any changes I make no big deal. PM us on Facebook and I can show you some pictures. 👍 -Garrett

[@crustyz422]

Thanks for the tip! -Garrett

[@jbcowherder6210]

damn, that CanAm at the end of your video doesn't flex at all..... wheels coming off the ground over even the smallest climbs, probably great on the high speed stuff though...... great video! i'D like to see how the factory Warn winch install goes, got one on order for my KRX and other than the pre-ran conduit i haven't seen much other on that subject.

[@ryanbianca6180]

Is the bus bar behind the dash keyed or hot all the time?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

It’s keyed power and the fuse for it is behind the drivers seat. 👍 -Garrett

[@ryanbianca6180]

@@DerangedOffRoad thank you! Are you able to run a lot of accessories off the one bus bar without issue?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I have a coms setup, lighted whips, rock lights, side mirrors, front bumper 8” light bar, and chase bar without an issue. My 43” light bar needed to be ran straight to the battery with a relay. -Garrett

Nope still have the Teryx4. 👍 -Garrett

[@craigschleppi2573]

What the hell are you adding? I thought the Krx was prewired

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Pre wired? Yes it has AUX wires for the rear for one accessory like whips or whatever. Then it has a bus bar installed already to hookup all your other accessories. You still need to run those wires to the bus bar. 👍

[@craigschleppi2573]

Thanks. I’m checking all how to videos before I purchase it

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep no problem, overall the machine has been really well laid out for easy wiring and accessory hook up. I am pretty impressed how well they planned it. Some minor things that I would have done differently, but it’s small stuff. -Garrett
