    Just starting...
    Well, today I was asked if I had a generator that could be used in a Christmas parade. I replied no, but that my truck had an outlet in the bed. Soooo...truck is now in the parade.

    Apparently they only want white lights though. So, what I'm going to try is:

    2 sets of LED Net lights over the truck cap.

    Two sets of LED lights running along the edges of the roof and hood down to the front bumper.

    LED snowflake zip-tied to the front bumper.

    All pieces are "cool" LED lights, and I think I have the measurements right to take them all the way from the rear to the front bumper. LEDs have such a low power draw that it's only about 30 watts for all that.

    Once I get all of them and get all set up for the parade I will of course have some pictures.

    I'm actually amazed how well mines been holding up- I'm convinced leaving a tree outside in full sunlight like it was meant to be instead of stuck indoors makes it last forever. I've had trees wilt & drop needles after a week or two but this thing went up day after thanksgiving & is holding up great. New TW tradition anyone?

    I want to put a tree in mines, but I fear the Hawaii sunlight and heat will kill it.. Lows of 65 highs of 85 during the day.

    Haha I say try it. Mine lasted through 5 days out in The desert last week.... Zip tie all the plastic ornaments you can find, keep it watered & see what happens!
    It hasn't been below 70 ish & mines running on 4 weeks now.
    Maybe I just got a badass little tree though.

    :( According to the WSP...

    "Attaching Christmas lights to any vehicle operating on Washington road ways is illegal. Additional lighting apart from marker lights can cause a distraction to other drivers and create an unsafe situation for everyone on the road."
