    I'm kidding. You can stay.

    thanks man. I really don't mind wiring stuff.... especially if I'm the one who builds the harness(es) and plans the routing.

    All the things. I'm just lazy though.

    Ditch lights
    Bedside lights
    Flush mount rear bumper lights
    Rock lights

    And find somewhere to store all those switches

    Update.... turns out that if i turn my head to look to/out of the back, at the bottom of my view i see the led's. Not bad, but at night that's what your eye is drawn to. So i came up with a solution. Got a section of 1/2" aluminum angle and basically made a shield for the lights. Works pretty well from what i can tell, obviously need to test at night. Here's the breakdown:

    Cut a 12" section for the left side, and a 14" section for the right. Painted the side that will be seen grey to match the seats/interior. Used some gnarly ass double sided tape to affix the angle pieces to the plastic edging of the rear seats. Stuck the led's to the angle pieces (leaving the inside sides of the aluminum unpainted to use the top side kind of like a mirror if you will).

    Pic 1: basically this is my view turning and looking from the driver's seat now. Imagine no shield and seeing the led's.... exactly.

    20171007_140117.jpg

    Pics of the pieces and led's on them

    20171007_140154.jpg
    20171007_140226.jpg

    They still shine up pretty far on the rear of the front seats without me having the issue i just solved.

    Wooden shenanigans :cookiemonster:

    Took on the project of making benches for my mother in law's big ass dining table. Will be built, sanded, stained, then revealed Christmas eve. I've had fun cutting and screwing shit together. Even my 4 year old likes to be out with me. Started yesterday afternoon and i already have the top section of one bench. This is my first time building anything like this out of wood :crapstorm:

    Progress thus far:
