What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good point, I actually have mine set up as a ground switch, but that's what it was designed for. Otherwise, you may have chafed a wire, check the connector at the LED, or perhaps the LED's themselves are crossed? You can try eliminating one of the strips if you wanted to check.

Yeah, on second thought, I'd PM/Email him direct...

 

OP- Because you paid for a complete assembly, I could just contact the seller. Typically you would want to wire it as a ground switch BUT I’m not sure the watts of the lights or the switches amp capability. Double check the instructions to make sure you have all the pos/neg wires connected correctly. Like Ryan said, it’s possible you switched something. I was hoping watts and instructions would be on the site, but they aren’t. Without the basic info on each part of the system, not sure how much more help we could be.

 

Wash, wax, and wrapped the dash trim.

 

Completed the Garage Door Remote Mod. Replaced the power adapter with Dual USB/Voltmeter, and tucked factory USB/AUX behind the dash to run a charging cable up to my DMM. More details here and here.




I couldn't figure out how to get the switch to illuminate. I quick spliced the blue AOB wire (+) to the green wire of another switch and the black AOB wire (-) to the tan wire of another switch. I thought that would work based on other posts. But it did not. Can anyone tell me which wires from an existing switch to tap into to get the AOB switch to illuminate?

 

Wife helped lube my ball joints today. Nice to have her home and bored.

 

Looks like we all better buy a nut rivet gun since Bob has one. Perusing Amazon now.

I believe the green wire on the back of the cargo light, is the illum wire also.

 

Women are good at lubing ball joints. Some are better than others.

 

I’m fortunate to have one that likes to learn.

Start slow and easy, then pump hard enough until it starts to ooze out, and finish with just tight enough screwing.

 

Painted some chrome.

 

Yeah you did. I have an Undercover lid and there are two options with/without rails. The rails are completely covered and useless. Should have removed the rail and went with the "without" model and made my own bracket. But would'a, could'a, should'a... Maybe I can find a rail and create a dual mount or something

 

You'll make it work! If your rails are in the factory position this mounting system is well below the rails and the jack as mounted shouldn't interfere with their use.

 

In a few months, I’d love to see another picture of this. I use those zip tie mounts everywhere, but I remove the foam tape and use black silicone to mount them. I’m wondering if I’m just waisting time doing that.

 

What hood struts are those installed?

 

I'm guessing you're spot on with the silicone. The adhesive on those zip tie mounting pads at least in my experience has a tendency to release when subjected to heat. Genuine 3M (not the cheap Chinese knock off stuff) tape might hold up to the heat but I've found that the foam adhesive normally found on those pads do not.

 

Got bored today at work and wired up a tuffstuff air compressor for the tires under the hood.

 

265/75r16 duratracs load c are 6ply radial.

 

Got my bed mat installed from Amazon

Nothing big but got my wheels and tires mounted and balanced and then got some gas

 

Sticker!! My truck feels faster now.
