Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Pulled over 55 tires out the woods on my property.

 

Well he'll I guess you won't have to buy any for a while

 

it's a pain finding a place to get rid of tires. Luckily Prince George is having it's community clean up day and they'll take them (truck still registered there).

 

There is a tire recyclers plant in Charles City if all else fails, not sure how far you are from it though.

 

If you have an available hillside you could use them to terrace it. Fill them full of soil and plant flowers in them.


Or you can make furniture


Or retread your stairs so to speak

 

I think a couple of the Firestone Wilderness from my old Ranger are in that stack.

 

@Dimestore55 mentioned he was going to use a relay, so he shouldn't need the diode. With a SPDT relay, he can wire the bumper lights to the common pole; tap into 12V from the reverse lights and run that to the NC pole; and run 12V to the NO pole. Then just use a switch to activate the coil. This way with the switch off, the lights will come on when he puts it into reverse, and they'll turn on when he pushes the switch. He might need to up the amp rating of the fuse that the reverse lights use to accommodate the power draw of the bumper lights, but if they're LED, I don't think they'll be that much.

 

Thanks to everyone who hooked me up with the Avid light bar. Just got it back from the Rhino Liner, it was a bit of a challenge but she's on.

 

That's a nice looking bar, now you need some lights

 

Yep...thats next but may have to wait. A lot on my plate financially speaking. I'll keep my eye out on the marketplace and Amazon try to score some. Im glad I got that bar Rhino Lined.

 

Way to go Jeff get us a better pic! I did a little something myself today. I've been wanting seat covers ever since I got my truck but couldn't bring myself to spring for okale's or clazios but @TacoFMS turnef me on to these. I like them they fit pretty good and really changed the look of the truck

 

Man those are nice Chris! How hard were they to put on? Seat covers are on my want list and thise look nice.

 

Here it didn't show this one

 

I decided to use 2 relays, now bear with me and I'll explain.
1. I could replace relay 1 with a SPDT switch but I already purchased switches from Aironboard and they only come in SPST configuration. So essentially I'm using relay 1 to convert the switch to SPDT.
2. I really don't need a direct battery connection to power those little LED lights but I'm planning to use this same configuration for my Off Road/Highbeams which are 2 x 100 watt bulbs so I'd like to keep the wiring uniform.
3. I just like to wire stuff


So in the NC position (switch open) the reverse light switch will power the LED's and with switch closed they will be on constantly. Same principle with my high beams when I get those installed.

 

More pics of my Avid bar...sand blasted, primed and Rhino Lined.

 

I bought this set from Amazon and I also picked up some 100 watt bulbs

Yup. That works too. Personally, I would either go with a SPST relay for the second relay or put the battery on the NO terminal and the lights on the Pole. That way there isn't 12V floating out there on the NC terminal as a possible source to short things out.

 

Wen your ready Jeff you can get some lights and a harness off Amazon for under $40 and they're prety decent lights

 

Seat covers are never fun but these weren't too bad. I'll go back and watch the installation video now that they're on ha ha. Justin told me about them and I ordered strait from the manaufacturer. They were only $40 with free shipping. They look good and I'm happy thanks Jeff

 

Thanks that was very easy to read and I've got to get back into wiring. I hadn't wired anything in like 8 years until I wired up all my lights. I only want a few more
