    Thanks! Miles snapped that pic after I dragged my truck over a large unseen rock poking out of the sand. It's the one that dented all my skids and smashed my exhaust. There is a video of it some where...

    Haha! I'm actually proud of what little trail damage I actually have. I even noticed some scuffs on the bottom of my sliders! :D

    Rattle too much. All the bolts on the sides are just for looks. They rattle pretty bad on washboard roads. Never really needed them anyway. My tires don't stick out much past the factory flare.
    I wanted to figure out a way to utilize some of the bolts that line up pretty close to the factory holes. I figured a few bolts tightened up would stop any rattling, but too lazy, and too many other projects :eek:

    Had my front tires off today so I could finally grease my UCAs and clean and lube my uniballs with triflo...
    I also tried to clean off some of the red dirt off the bottom of my truck from the last camping trip.

    Drank a few hoegaardens too :D
    And every time I have the wheels off, I wirebrush and give the lugs a fresh coat of dry moly.

    Good stuff :)

    I don't know what looks better? The clean brakes or the Hoegaardens:D...lmao! Looks great Iven! I would have came by, but Summer and her sister were participating in the Hawaii State swimming championships all weekend, so my ass was at the pool sweating like a whore in church:D

    I actually tried a head holding gyro to lock the camera heading on my Helicam a while back. Same gyros we use to keep the tail locked in. The 360* robot servos were not fast enough tho. The gyro stabilizers for the helis keep getting smaller and better. The servos in that thing must be super quick :eek:

    Thanks, those helis are long gone tho :( I still have a head, and few full set of blades. The new helis have come a long way and my stuff is almost obsolete :D
    I'm not sure if I want to start all over again. All this was a tax write off when I was still a photographer :p

    Thanks Rick! I cant thank you and Nate enough. Came out great, and its actually very bright at night. I might not even bother to re-wire it. You guys did a great job :cool:

    Its all spliced right into the dome power right behind the compartment left of the steering wheel. Comes on when you open the doors, or unlock the truck. All the int lamps are LEDs, and combined, all these LED strips are pulling less than 2A. No need a relay, so they fade in and out real nice.

    Just the door lights and int lights with the door cracked open.

    With headlights, rigid duallys and rigid SR-MF reverse lights.

    Tail reverse lights are CSjumper LEDs.

    I can see how these guys get addicted to adding more lights, but I just don't need a 50" LED bar on my roof :eek:
