The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

This thing is back and better than ever.

 

Thanks man!

I have quite the list i want to do over the winter. Big one is saving up for winch and CO2 and making my own skids.

Still have to get most all my lights wired up, and get the roof rack made again.

Plenty to do! haha

i need to get a job now tho..funds are basically at 0 lol

But im happy that is back for sure!

 

Weird how we both want to do the exact same shit to our trucks at the exact same time.

 

haha i know!

then you and i will be at the BIG mods mode ...mostly just expensive tho

 

basically yes. That way i can have them on for setting up camp or late night cooking on a stove. And they will always come on when i go into reverse. you just have to wire it up a certain way.

and yea..sucks haha

 

Is that legal? (in other places that aren't Wyoming)

 

2 ways u can do it.... using relays or likei did it with diodes.... works great. mine are wired with my tail lights reverse lights for reverse. and just my leds on the switch.

dont see why it wouldnt be legal? its awesome being in a parking lot and throwin it in reverse. everyone scatters with that much light lol

 

yea ur right they will. but ur supplying voltage to everything, ur dash, ur ecm...... having it on a switch is perfect cuz the only load on the battery is ur lights.... allowing the leds to barely trickle the juice outa ur battery

 

Think its legal everywhere..don't see how its illegal..

Diodes huh? i'll probably use a relay..just cause thats how i do everything haha

Yea. But the keys are on..actually i think you can just put it in reverse tho and the lights come on..or maybe thats just my truck..idk haha

 

yeah diodes only allow electrical flow one direction... either way works

 

Oh right..i knew that haha

we will see i guess.

 

Just solder them in..

 

I dunno either.

Just think that potentially frying the retinas of drivers behind you as you're backing out of a spot may be illegal

 

Lol the LED bars aren't THAT bright hahaha they aren't HIDs. Only 800 lumens each.

I know people do it all the time.

 

If I cut holes in my bumper do you think I could mount these LED bars flush (or flushish) ?

 

yea anything is possible man I was actually thinking of mounting one of my 6'' bars in my side mirrors..

 

Like the stupid fjs have?

 

So they would throw light at an angle to fill the front sides of vision.

No sure..

 

Dude. If you haven't yet, I'd highly recommend reading this build. Reading it made me think aobut the direction you're wanting to go so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!
