2nd Official Utah Meet and Greet/Trail Run

I wanna put the led lights on the bed rail and put some speakers in the cubbys. And put lights under the Hood and the map lights mod

 

Speakers in the cubbies would be way sweet.

The map light mod is super easy. Look at my build and it says what bulb to get.

 

I assume you're planning something like http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/50375-how-bed-lights-w-tailgate-pin-switch.html I dont get little cubbies for my truck, so I'd have to mount them on top of the bed, where you're planning for backup lights. My only real concern about lights like this is how blinding they are. Even with the cubbies, it just seems almost too much direct light and any time you used it you'd end up walking away seeing spots. Maybe if you could find some sort of diffuser to soften the light a bit.

 

That is kind of a dilemma. I was thinking about having separate switches to avoid that problem. I want to have my bed lit up when I'm loading and unloading at night. Like I said, I still have some research to do.

 

I tossed some lights under my hood. I used two of http://www.oznium.com/high-intensity-led-floodlight It turned out pretty good, but I think I'm going to end up moving them a bit (just used 3m tape) . Quite bright little things.

 

Oh yeah. An I wanna paint the plastic under the lower grill black.

 

I'd like to do that too but I have a clear bra so I'm gonna have to go with a vinyl.

 

Hey didnt you say you were gonna paint your skidplate black? I was just curious cause I think it wouldnt look to good if you had the black valance and black skidplate you know? But I'm not positive cause I've never seen it like that.

 

I sure did buddy. I'm planning on doing that mod soon as well just haven't taken the time to do it. I wanna get the vinyl but have been penny pinching a bit. I'll get around to it soon I hope.

 

Oh okay. I'll have to see how it looks on your truck and if it looks good, I might have to paint my valence as well.

 

Sounds good. I'm going down to the forest reserve today to get some maps and plan our route

 

I'm 90% sure I can make it on Saturday. I know the area up there really well and I'm going to try and pre-run it again on my bike on Friday (if you have the day off you should come with). There are a few 4x4 trails I haven’t seen since last year so I want to make sure they are still passable with a stock truck. A lot can change in a year.

 

Glad you gonna be able to make it Jas!!! Its also good to know that you know that area pretty well too!

 

Sweet! What time are you thinking of going? I could do early morning but have to be done by about 1. Would that work for you?

 

Very cool! I'm thinking if we met at the parking lot below the B at 9 that would give us plenty of time to be back. My plan was to be back by 12 or 1 anyway.

 

I'll call you and get some directions because I have no idea where I am going

 

I would if i had a bike lol..

 

That would be ideal. Save up some skrillas and get one. They are a blast.

 

X2

Get a bike they are tons of fun. Pluse there are a ton of killer deals on KSL.

 

I'm assuming you guys are talking about dirt bikes right? Not no mountain bike?!
